  7. Tripping on acid One night at a party, Nina age 19, is offered the opportunity to trip on acid. At first she is apprehensive, but then agrees to partake. She pays her five dollars and is given a small piece of acid laced blotter paper with a cool design on it. She places it on her tongue and waits the few minutes for it to dissolve. Thirty minutes later, Nina starts to feel nauseous, but forces herself to breathe through it, and not give in and vomit because her friends have told her that it is normal to feel that way when the drug starts kicking in. Shortly, Nina doesn’t feel sick anymore, and the effects of the acid are beginning. Suddenly Nina feels like the knowledge of everything has been opened up to her. Everything seems perfect and wonderful and she is in a state of complete and total happiness. She has lots of energy and can’t stop thinking, talking, and writing. She sees brilliant, indescribable colors, shapes and motions. She wants this to last forever. She feels that she is in control of her behavior for the most part, and enjoys a pleasant night and a mind opening experience. About 12 hours after consumption, the drug starts to wear off. Nina is left feeling sad, empty, depressed, and longing to return to that place in her mind. Nina then goes home and sleeps for 18 hours and then wakes up feeling relatively normal and able to function. She plans on tripping again someday. A bad trip, on the other hand, is not something that anyone would want to experience again. This is when the euphoria turns into something sinister and frightening. It can be triggered by a threatening or adverse environment, the surfacing of difficult or unconscious memories, or a sense of being overwhelmed by the power of the drug. A bad trip includes strong and intense feelings of paranoia, sensations of dying, fear, and anxiety. It is a deeply uncomfortable and traumatic state.
