I witnessed someone PUDDLED for the fiirst time...

a few weeks ago i went out of town to see Tribe (fantastic)...one of my friends had this phenomenal lucy connect who hooked us up cuz we were her friends. The lucy hit my tounge and the only way i can think to describe the taste is it was somewhat minty. He dosed our tongues out of a dropper. He told me he gave me three, he gave most of us 3, one girl paid a little and he told her he gaver her four. But i watched him do this to her (i will call her lacy) and he was holding the bottle above her head for a hot minute. I dont know. He came to me and i bent down and squirted the bottle over my mouth and i felt small cool drops hit my tongue.

The show was fuckn awesome, i refound religion that i had once found on ex, during the tribe show. I couldn't tell if i was dancing or standing still. and at one point i held my hands up in my air like baptists do at church because i was receiving vibrations from the divine.

during set break i was seeing alex gray patterns in the air. this should have been when i realized something was going down. my friend lacy has tripped more times than me, and i know shes eaten 10 strips, like i have before, this girl can handle her shit. Anyway we are sitting down in the balcony and she keeps saying she feels ridiculous and that everyon is staring at her. i tried telling her this wasn't true, but I was tripping too, and it had me thinking everyone was staring at us. I tried to tell her its not the case. set break is a blur cuz i was seeing so much stuff. towards the end of it as te msuic came back on...the transition from silence to music is hard to differentiate between. I heard the music but it felt a few rooms away. and lacy kept saying this "this is exciting am i allowed to have this much fun?" and i was like hell yea girl fuck yeah you are...but she kept saying it...this was the beginning of her cyclical behaivor. i stood up so i could see and she stayed seated every now and then id bend down and be like come on lacy you gotta see this. She would stand up and feel ridiculous again and sit down.

Finally a few of our friends (also tripping) came back from wandering downstars and started to talk to her. Im enjoying the music (thinkin about the song "Lateralus" by Tool as i welcomed the divine into my body) but I hear lacy repeating the same things over and over. eventually the other friends give up too and get up and watch/dance.

I dont remember the show ending, i just remember asking is iit over, and they were like "yeah its over." I don't know how long it was between the show ending and us leaving our seats but we did and iwas way out of it. i helped grab some things and as we were walkng down the stairs lacy started a cyclical pattern of new things. we kept walking thinking she was just exciting and trpping real hard. but then we realized as she almost fell that things weren't ok. I didn't realize it at first, but once my friends started freaking out i realizied something was up. we went to the water bucket to refill some cups before leaving the venue. we gathered outside to meet up with the rest of our friends. she was screaming the same things over and over about love and how she deserves this and yadda yadda yadda. her arms started flailing and people were staring. we kept saying lacy you cant act like this in public, and shed snap back for a second and be like yeah i cant get arrested...but not seconds later was she out of it again.

so we started walking her towards the car. it took a person on both sides of her. i disticntly remember an older couple walking by staring at us...probably because of our outfits but also cuz our friend was out of control...clearly (in my opinion not drunk either). we got her in the middle. She drives an SUV. we had a driver and another legit person in the front and four of us crammed in the back, including her.

this is when i realized how bad things were. she was saying the same cycle of words over and over and over again and speeding up. she was kiicking her legs and flailing her arms...hurting both people next to her. when we tried talking to her she didnt ear us didnt recognize us. we were not there with her. we pulled ouside the house we were supposed to be staying at and we decided we couldnt bring her there especially sicne some of the roommates had to wake up early in the AM. I remember driving around the city for awhile with fogged up windows dying for air though we werent gonna let any of the windows down.

finally we got to a house, but we had to stay in the car while 2 of our friends went in and discussed what was going on. the guy was willing to help us. so we hopped out of the car and lacy, still screaming couldn't walk on her own, and at one point came close to hitting her head. she was carried inside the house by our friend (i will call him blake) and he sat her on the couch. she wasn't sitting there for more thatn 30 seconds when she threw up all over herself and the couch.

she is moved to the bathroom. blake holds her feet and her best friend is holding her amrs down. she is screaming still the same things over and over. one of my friends starts cleaning up, and i want to help but i look at her and say "i honestly don't know what my hands are right now, i dont know what to do" she laughed and said its ok you're tripping just don't watch... i couldn't sit still, i wanted to help her, but they kept telling me i couldn't do anything. people were on their phones trying to figure out what to do, and i had left my phone at the other houes before the show. I was tripping and completely out of control of everything...i didnt even have a pad of paper to write on.

i kept sitting down in the living room, then going to the bathroom to see how she was doing (although i could hear her fine from where i was).

the whole time in the car i started realizing how this was a conflict beween good and evil...and it was funny cuz someone had a red glowstick and i had a green and i was thinking about how the two came together. so they decided to keep a tally of how many times she said each thng (that didnt last long cuz trust me they would have needed an entire notebook for that).

i go outside for a minute and i am finally in a comfortable environment for tirpping again. the stars are twinkling and i am still seeing alex gray sketches in the air and i am seeing eyes everywhere. it was calming and beautiful. but it was too cold.

back inside i walked back to see how lacy was. she was sitting up. and had white stuff in her mouth. this time she at least had color in her. before she was screaming and kicking so hard her body was red. now she had color but white stuff in her mouth and ii was reminded of the girl in the exorcist. i had to leave.

eventuall they moved her to the couch. though it still required two people to sit next to her to hold her arms down and to keep her from kicking/standing up. we still cuoldn't get in touch with her. more people came over and i got excited cuz she started saying new things, but then it was just added to the cyclical pattern.

eventually the cycle started slowing down and became less frequent. I would guesstimate it was about a 5-6 hour process of this before she finally passed out.

the next day she said it was a dream like state. she doesn't know if she will ever trip again...understandable in my opinion...

man i dont know it was scary to see this while tripping because you hear about people trpping hard, but i had never witnessed it...

i find it kind of frustrating that we will never know how much she was on, but i believe she had way more than 4 hits in her. this also was a reminder that no matter how capable yuo are at handling your L, things can go down...the shit is powerful. i learned another valuable lesson. if yuo are getting dosed from a vile let the dealer drop it on your hand so you can see how many it is and to prevent you from getting to puddled, like lacy did. you never know how fucked up the person squeezing the bottle is...man idk

anyone else experience or witnessed anything like this? any comments? i just had to share this story and i wrote it really quickly as i recollect on it more may add to it...

 

That sounds pretty hectic. People trippin out trip me out, must have left quite an impression. Hope she gets better tho.

 

Was that the 3/13 show at congress by any chance?

 

i was with my ex girlfriend, she had never taken acid before, and she wanted to try it, so i scored and i dosed at 3 hits cause i had this cid before, she dosed with 1, we drover to a park which is where we would spend our trip, perfect place, no one around, and we had all the time in the world..well we get there and were laughing listening to the dead, and suddenly she started crying but you couldnt tell if she was laughing or crying then she started saying how we were walking in circles that she had seen all this stuff before, then her vision went blank and she was crying because all she could see were colors forming and she couldnt see me, it was scary man..she hated it..i was trying to get her to just embrace it and let it take control and quit fighting but she didnt understand which made for a miserable 12 hours.

 

ill stick with stamps...I wouldnt take a sugar cube, gel tab or liqued drops...Maybe in the future but for now iam good with stamps, old fashioned way

 

it was hectic as fuck. it left an imperssion on me, but the trip was already very impressionable before any of this started.

she is ok, i havent talked to her yet since the day after which i spent the entire day with her...but ima give her some time to recollect her thoughts. she said it was a dreamlike place.

at this point she says she may never trip again...which seems fair, that was quite the experience. (and i don't think anyone has told her the extent of things yet)...all she knows is that she threw up on herself...that was her best friends decision, and i think it might be an ok decision in order to protect her from embarassment

 

no it was not

but :cheers2: to a fellow tribe fan

 

that sounds miserable...it suks she didn't enjoy her first trip. it would be sad to not see my boyfriend but i think seeing colors would have made me soo happy

but unfortunately we couldnt communicate with her...she descibed it as dreamlike state. but she said some of the things she was saying came from things she saw in the room. and she kept saying "I deserve this" because all her friends were taking care of her and she felt like she deserved that. so in a sense she kinda saw us, but not all the time...it was knd of miserable because it distracted me from the religious experience i was having and could have had in a different environment, but all in all i am very happy she is ok

 

Haha I know that situation WAY too well. Tell me something, how long did the trip last?

 

somewhere about 7 hrous before she passed out. 6 befor she was semi coming to here senses

and you know about this way to well from witnessing friends or you experiencing this?

EDIT nice sig!!!

 

Ah well there was ALOT of DOC in my town at one point. Waaay too powerful for people who werent experienced. And many people had experiences like this. One of my good friend, who trips a whole lot, had an experience exactly like the one you described. Me and a few others had to baby sit for hours. Walking in circles, repeating the same sentences over and over, and completly un aware of what we were doing to try to help. It was like a unpentratable wheel was circling in the brain. Very strange, I have never experienced it myself.

 

so i was chillin with her this weekend and i causally asked if she thought she would ever trip again. she will, after getting drunk she realized that she can get fucked up and return to reality again...she just needed to get fucked up to feel more comfortable...if that makes sense

however if she's ever dosed out of a vile again, she is gonna get the drops on the hand nd so she doesn't get THAT puddled again.

and prone, i really like your sig haha idk if you saw it before but i wanted to make sure you knew

 

Thank you I love that picture of him.

 

gotta love Cid Barrett

 

to be honest it sounds like she needed to go to a quiet room with another tripper

maybe cuddle

have sex (if appropriate)

align her energies... instead of staring at her.. taking so much care of her.. protecting her ego..

but i mean, i cant say that will have worked. just seems that no one did anything sincere, personal, private. maybe you just left that part out of the story?

 

I agree.

My friend had a similar bad trip after i gave him some pot to smoke while tripping on some Lucy. The weed took him to another level, like you all probably know, and he couldn't handle it.

His girlfriend was being way to protective, caring, and clingy during the time. As far as i could tell, it made him much worse. He kept staring at the celling as if he was seeing a flying spaghetti monster or the bloody virgin mary.

As soon as he came out to lay in a field and look at the stars with myself and 3-4 other friends who were also tripping, he was fine.

"Just Let Go" as Frou Frou would put it.

 

When we were able to sit here down on the couch people would sit with her (still holding her though, cuz she was kicking and violently flailing her arms). People talked to her. When another one of her good friends got there about two hours in, two of her best friends sat and cuddled with her for awhile.

we weren't staring at her...i was for awhile, but there were other things going on in the room, in terms of energies that were not good floating around and those can not be explained. I know that sucks, but all I can say, is for me I was not comfortable at all becuase some girl was trying to blame this freak out on the high dosage on my best friend (who was not there) and in turn made me feel like I shuoldn't be near her because I would remind her of my best friend. (basically crazy drama, the reason I don't hang out with that one girl very often [the girl who said all this]). She said all this to me while I was losing myself so after awhile it stuck. I can't say more than that but I was in no posititon to comfort her with all that in my head.

and unfortunately i knew she needed privacy the whole time, but like I said i was in no position to speak up. Also given where we were there was no where to go. The house we were supposed to stay at we couldn't go to because of all the noise so we went to some other guys house and he too, had two roomates. All he had to offer was a living room, a recording studio, and front porch. It's unfortunate, but I will say her friends did a good job.

 

If you are tripping with a group, you should have a plan in place just incase someone freaks out like that. I nice calm comfortable place to chill, and there are things you can take/drink that will lessen the intensity of the trip like a mild sedative. Although your friends may have been trying to help, sounds like they may have been making things worse, if people are restricting your movements during a trip of that intensity it makes it 10x harder to handle.

 

yeah the house that we were originally planning to stay at would have been a good chill place but circumstances wouldn't permit. We were all out of town and my phone was gone so i had no way of contacting anyone that night.

and had we not restricted her movements things wuold have been broken and/or she would have seriously hurt herself.

and had we had internet where we were or had i known how to read perhaps i would have looked up drink ideas but i was incomprehensible at the time.

the people helped in the best way they knew how, sure things probably cuold have been handled better...but that can be said about most things

 

thats why its good to have some xanax handy. that shit is a lifesaver.
