conflictionFor those that don't agree with taking drugs, don't read on, and if you do, keep your views to yourself... thanx. I also apologise for the length of this entry.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I guess, before i give you what I wrote while high, i should set the scene.
It was a thursday night and all was good.
I had just spent that morning writing and handing in an essay, of which i will barely pass, real boring, and i was 190 words under the minimum limit. Ah well.
I then did my laundry and bought a mothers day card while i was waiting.
Went home and planned on staying up all day, but after playing Final Fantasy 8 for a few hours, i finally gave in and crashed out at around 3pm.
Woke up at about 6pm and found out i hadn't posted the card to my mum...
...but upon further inquiry, it turned out one of my housemates did it, while also having a conversation with me while i was asleep on my bed...
...i hope i wasn't in any embarassing 'positions'.
It turned out i had woken up in time to have a meal cooked for us by one of our friends.
While we were waiting for him to turn up, i tried to roll a joint, which i have tried on several occasions, and as always, i failed. My much experienced housemate finished it for me, and i toked the whole thing. It was only small, and didn't have any tobacco in, which is what i prefer because i don't want to become addicted to smoking and the tobacco tastes shite anyways... and is hard to draw down.
Anyways, this was cool and by the time dinner was being made i was coming down from a relaxing high.
Dinner consisted of a Thai meal - a spicy chilli soup with spring rolls and dips as a side dish. It was amazing, and i helped make more spring rolls for everybody because they were very good, and we didn't have enough to fulfil everyones needs.
Much talking was to be had and the evening was turning out to be extremely pleasant in the company of good friends.
Later that night, about 10pm, they decided to roll some more joints and pass them around. What has become customary these days is for my friend to roll a joint with a pure end... now termed an 'endie' by me...
We all had more fun, and much laughter was to be had.
About 11 pm things died down and a few guests left for home. Two of them vowed to return home later.
Joey was one of them, he had to go home and read something... it turned out the next day that the reason he didn't come back, is because he fell asleep. I have a feeling the lack of sleep Carrie, Joey and i had on tuesday had caught up with him. We went to a gig in nottingham to see Finch and Brand New, that was really really good!
Anyways, Duke left too, but he didn't vow to come back. He was the one who made the meal, and much thanks was givin to him upon his departure.
Last was Matt, he vowed to come back... dunno where he went, but eventually he came back at about 4am. Me and Liz were still up, dunno quite why, just chillin really. Waitin for Matt i guess... considering Liz really likes him. Awww... how cute. lol.
We decided to get out a bong. Something i have never used before.
Liz and Matt both had the first go and i watched and learned.
Liz then prepared a pure hit for me, which i took... it was the easiest and most smokey toke i've ever had. Bongs rule :P
Liz thought that that would be enough for me, but i wasn't satisfied... i'd only had one toke. Little did i know that that's a hell of a lot, especially pure.
We waited a while, and i felt real good... REAL good :)
They prepared and took another, then prepared a bigger hit for myself.
They seemed to be anxiously waiting for me to take it, and i wanted to, so i did. I got two hits out of this one.
We did this again, and Liz was having second thoughts as to whether i should have any more... but i said that i'd have to find out my limits and i won't if she tells me when enough is enough. So I had another two hits...
...the last one of these was funny, for me at least. I won't go into details, as you'd need to know the technicalities of how a bong works, but needless to say... it was the biggest hit i had that night, and i probably looked something reminiscent of a dragon.
The time was around 5:20am by this point. I had already been experiencing time problems since around 12:30... where time was speeding up considerably, probably why it was so easy to stay up so late and wait for Matt. Before i knew it, it was 2:30, then 3:30, then 4:30 when Matt was already here.
Anyways, at 5:20am, a time at which time was already slowing down, Matt decided to set a challenge, seeing as though we had all taken so much. The last person standing at 6am or to get to 6am was the winner. This seems incredibly easy to me now, but that morning... it was the challenge of a lifetime. I was about to experience something i have never experienced before in my life. Previously that week i had had a dream that seemed to last 3 weeks, those dreams are cool... but what was to come was... intense.
I started to get a pain in my right leg.
I could handle it at first, it was just a dull twitching pain.
But slowly, it increased... along with the sensation of falling further from reality.
I was also starting to find it harder to breathe.
The pain became agonizing, and at an attempt to describe the pain, it was as if the tendons in my leg were tensing up... so much so infact, that i had to bend my leg... but it felt like it was going to snap at any moment.
I remember at this point Liz realizing what i was doing, i probably looked like i was in agony, and i couldn't breathe very well.
I remember her talking to me, but i couldn't talk back... it was as if i was in an hallucination, but could see the real world happening. The boundaries of the hallucination were limited only to my body.
The next day Liz filled me in on something which i had not realized while it was happening. I place this event at the point at which i was most in pain and most unable to breathe, and just before i got some words out to the real world.
Apparently, I fell unconscious and went a bit blue, while Liz slapped me twice to try and wake me up. I had a pulse, as Liz checked for one, and i was unconscious for around 2 minutes.
To me, this never happened, and any events beforehand ran into any events afterwards, and all made chronological sense.
Anyways, I managed to begin talking to Liz, and all the while i was calm inside, because i knew it was an hallucination. I told her that it was a hallucination and that i just have to sit it out. What I believe happened, was that I had a lucid hallucination. Where i know it's an hallucination and i can talk to people in the real world as it were. I dunno, sounds weird... and i'll point out later some flaws.
Everything calmed down, I came around, the pain died down but was with me througout the rest of the night. But something happened that was incredibly weird...
Matt said something like 'well, we're nearly at the half way mark now'
I remember thinking 'what?' and looking at the clock. He was indeed correct, it was only around 5:30am... a total of 10 minutes had gone by. Now it seemed like a good few hours had passed... and i just broke into laughter and started saying 'no fucking way, you're kidding me'. I couldn't believe it...
I then asked for a pen and paper to write down my experience.
Liz and Matt thought i was completely off my head, but i knew i was and was fully aware of what i was doing. They said stuff like 'we have to remember this and tell Jamie in the morning' and 'we'll show him the piece of paper, it'll make no sense in the morning'.
Unfortunately for them, it did make sense... right after i wrote it i gave it to them to read, and they were quite impressed i think.
By the time i finished the paper, we were nearly there.
Eventually... and I emphasise 'eventually'... it got to 6am.
We cheered and wound down for the night, soon Matt left, and me and liz went to our seperate beds.... before you get any ideas.
----------------------------------------------------------------
At the risk of totally boring you to death... here is what i wrote that morning, and also, some notes i made the next day:
- Excellerated movement of right leg - Hallucination!
|_ Pain - Fucking PAIN!!!
- Lucid Hallucination! Wickid!
|_ Talk to Liz in 'real world'
- Matt mentions that we nearly hit the half way mark.
|_ It seemed to me to be hours
|_ It was actually a few minutes
- I believe I had an hallucination of lviing hours, possibly showen by shaking leg
pain, in a matter of minutes.
- In conclusion, I guess for want of a better word, the pain I endured was worth it for
the experience, even if it was a bit dull. But I guess I need to walk before I can
learn to run.

Interesting Sidenote:-
Before writing this I was having the experience of being perfectly 'sober' and Liz and Matt were taking the piss, saying they should remember what I id and show me this paper which will make no sense. I mentioned later to them that they had done this.
Another Interesting Sidenote:-
Feeling saliva be gathered and taken to mouth.
"I am the saliva." - Worthy quote, sounds insane.*
Another Interesting Sidenote:-
Feeling very sick now, with 5 minutes to go, as Matt said. Can feel my bodies acid. "I am the acid." <- *Another
The "I am the saliva" and "I am the acid" is very Fight Club-esq.
Maybe the writer of Fight Club has experienced the same thing?
----------------------------------------------------------------
After notes:-
Should of written these last night but convinced myself that I'd remember, will write them down now incase I forget.
- Possible psychic type connection with Liz, maybe i just know her really well, but I
said towards Matt "Is he talking out of his fucking arse?". This is exactly what Liz
wanted or would of said.
- Apparently I was unconscious for a period of time in which i was 'convulsing'
and 'turning blue' and being slapped by Liz, according to Liz. This I cannot remmeber
and what I remember is probably constructed from the two sides of the unconscious
event joining up. I'd place the nconscious event at the point where my leg hurt most
and I couldn't breathe or communicate. I put the convulsions down to Liz over-
reacting and it was only my leg pain and reflexes.
- Problem as to whether or not it was all an hallucination, ruled out because of the character witness by Liz and the fact I wrote this. It, the pain, could of been real rather than an hallucination, ruled out by character witness and testimony by Joey the next day as he reports feeling the thing where you can't communicate but know exactly what's going on. Should of been just an hallucination limited to the boundaries of my body or mind perception.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I write this now. Just had a thought.
The pain could of been real... it felt real to me, so for all intents and purposes it was real... even if no damage was done.
Am I lucky to be alive?
Apparently not... no one has ever died directly from marijuana.
You can't overdose on it.
Only thing is... you could hallucinate stuff or whatever, and die through stupidity.
I wasn't stupid though... i was stuck in a chair, and apparently went blue... lol.
But again, for all intents and purposes, as far as I'm concerned... it never happened.
There. Sorry for the length. Hope you read it all.
Hope your Adventures with a Bong are better than mine!
