It started off like a normal saturday morning but since I was abstaining from the 'happy grass' I had no weed. To tell you the truth I liked it because I felt smarter and because I wanted to get stoned I would just pretend I was, and it was very insightful without the mind blur.

I walked downstairs seen a whole new package of Dramamine sitting there. My mind began to race. ' Should I take this' I debated. What the hell I'm only young once. I read reports of people tripping balls on 900 mg so I decided to take half of that, and waited for it to kick in.

I layed in bed snuggled next to my dog listening to Tool's 'Salival' I had gotten to track 6 then it hit me like a pissed off nun with a ruler. I couldn't breathe. I tried to shrug it off because I've been through worse drug expereinces, but one thing was different my parents were right downstairs. It was 9:30 and I never sleep late so I was gonna wait and hour and see how I felt. Eventually I got used to the not breathing feeling.
I got used to the not breathing feeling.
I am not really getting any hallucinations yet but I don't have the energy to get up. My limbs fealt like they had 20 pound weights on them. When I tried to I walked in zig-zags or fell down. I looked in the mirror in my room to look at my eyes and saw nothing but black just a very little ring of brown around them. So I just stayed back in bed. my mind was getting involved in the disoreintation now. I looked under the covers and my legs started to shrink, and I was drifting in and out of consciousness. everything looked 2-dimensional there was no cool colors. I was tottally rational though. Not like how acid is. Contrary to many other reports about dramamine.

I scurged up the courage to go downstairs. I thought I'll just say I'm sick. I said hello to my Dad and man did I sound fucked up. He asked me what was wrong and I said I think I had the flu. After that I immediately rushed downstairs to take a shower. In the shower was the only part I enjoyed. The mist of the shower felt like I was in a tropical forest or something. Even heard animals! After that I told my dad I was gonna take a nap. I woke up at 4:00 P.M. feeling 3 quarters better and able to talk to communicate.

I now hate dramamine with a passion. Every Saturday morning I get that same sensation. This physcoactive taught me nothing. I didn't enjoy music. I wasn't in a trance. I wasn't enlightened. It just made me scared.
