I had done several drugs before this experience; I smoked a lot of weed every day and used other substances regularly. I'd done LSD before. I dropped a 220ug tab and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. I'd also done a fair bit of Ketamine before. Beforehand I wasn't nervous at all, in fact, I was feeling quite confident; I thought I had enough experience with these drugs, but I didn't know what I was in for.

I dropped two 220ug tabs about 21:00, I was accompanied by my 14y/o step-brother who'd done a bit himself at the same time. The acid took about 40-45 minutes to kick in I started by getting some faint visuals. My step-brother had some stickers on his wall and almost simultaneously we said: 'Are the stickers peeling off?'. Although I knew they weren't I got up to check, low and behold they were flush against the wall. It was then I noticed the ceiling seemed lower and the corners of the room were curved.

About half an hour later I phoned my friend and I was in a very happy, loving mood I kept saying 'I love you'. After the call finished I forgot who I just talked to, confused, I decided to look in my contacts list. I didn't recognize a single person. After this I went into my room for a bit to play guitar, the fretboard was pulsating and each note resonated and sounded beautiful I went back into my stepbrother's room and he was really scared because he'd never done LSD before.

We sat on his bed for about 20 minutes, tripping balls, not saying a word. Finally, he broke the silence and said: 'What do you want to do now?'. I asked him if he wanted to smoke some weed so I got him to roll a joint (strain: Critical Mass) because I wasn't in the state too. Whilst he was rolling he asked if I had any ket, so I went to my room to get some. When I walked through the door I forgot what I came in for so I went back to ask my step-brother what I was looking for. I did this 3 more times and finally, I had to keep saying 'Ketamine' so I could remember. We smoked this joint out his bedroom window and listening to trippy music, I felt happy as Larry.

[Erowid Note: The dose described in this report is very high, potentially beyond Erowid's 'heavy' range, and could pose serious health risks or result in unwanted, extreme effects. Sometimes extremely high doses reported are errors rather than actual doses used.]
Next, I asked my stepbrother to cut up some lines of ket and since he'd never snorted anything before he had made the biggest lines I had ever seen (although I didn't realize he'd used all of it). The 0.6g was split into 3 lines, he snorted one and I did two. The weird part is the next day I found out he didn't do any ket at all but I finished it all by myself. I couldn't get my head around it - I clearly saw him do a line.

10 minutes later the K hit me hard and my vision went bug-eyed. Then I couldn't see the outside world at all, instead, I was seeing trippy images - sort of thing you'd see if you looked it up on the internet. My step-brother was speaking to me but I couldn't reply or move as I was in the K-Hole. My step-brother announced he was going to bed, so after a while, I managed to move again. He led me into my room, onto my bed and turned my light off. This was when things got bad.

I would've turned on my light because I was getting scared had I not have been paralyzed, so I just lay there tripping very hard. About an hour passed when everything got bad. What I was seeing slowing starting fading into white, then I saw a light. That classic light at the end of the tunnel stuff, so I approached it. Then... I went blind. I couldn't see anything and I slowly I lost the feeling of my body. It was the scariest thing that had ever happened to me. I had lost all my senses. I kept thinking 'Am I dying?'. Then my mind went dead. This bit is hard to explain unless it happens to you. I couldn't think, but I knew I had died and I stayed like that for what felt like an eternity.

I don't remember coming back around, in fact, I don't remember much at all after that. except I stayed up until 10:00 - because I was too shaken to sleep. When morning came and light returned to my room I was still tripping. The visuals made me feel sick, like when you get very drunk and you smell alcohol the next day. My brain was fried and I felt grotty, and the for the next 3 days I had trouble sleeping because of what had happened.

This experience made me reconsider my drug use. I was shocked when my stepbrother told I had done all the Ketamine without realizing. It scared me and I thought that me 'dying' could be foreshadowing a later event in life as a result of drug use.
