nothing i can do except cower in the fetal position until the trip is done. these trips scare the shit outta me. it's like letting your fears take control of you for a few hours. which is why i smoke weed only once a year, just to see if the death trips are gone, but they're still there!

anybody else get them?

Might be a good idea to quit doing drugs, at least while your alone


If I ever went through that, I'd quit drugs on the spot.

Experiment with different types of bud, the strong stuff isn’t always the best. If it’s too strong of bud it will burn you out. Take less tokes of the strong stuff and enjoy.

^^ That's hardcore bro! LOL I've gotten close to those #'s w/ MDMA & K @ the Tunnel but i couldn't remember the exact #'s of each. Either way i was f**ked up for two days, but no death trip ever. I used to smoke weed when i was younger, but something snapped when i got older and i get paranoid as hell EVERY time i smoke.

And a voice was screaming "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"

Then it was quiet again. My attorney had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. "What the hell are you yelling about?" he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. "Never mind," I said. "It's your turn to drive." I hit the brakes and aimed the Great Red Shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

I thought the movie kind of sucked, but I really enjoy the book.
