"I was at a party quite a while ago and it was in the beginning of my "raving" days. I was naive and not aware of the strength and content of the drugs that I was carelessly forcing into my body.

I thought the night was going to be a great one; my favourite dj was spinning, all my friends were with me and I was gonna do some wicked drugs (at least that's what I thought). I ended up doing an E called a Double Stickmen.

I chewed my way through 1 gram of mushrooms and smoked a little doobie. A few hours later I was sitting with my back against the wall just taking in all of what was happening. I closed my eyes because I started getting visuals ('cuz of the 'shrooms) and all of a sudden I started to get unpleasantly cold.

I put on an extra sweatshirt and thought that that would be it. No such luck. I started getting unbearably hot...not warm...it felt like I was on fire. Then freezing cold again. I didn't know what to do.

Then it hit me - I began to throw up like never before. This may sound disgusting, but it is a reality that goes with doing too much drugs. I couldn't stop throwing up. I was sweating like crazy and at that point I thought that I was going to die. I began dry-heaving and I thought that I was going to choke.

Luckily for me, my friends were around and took care of me; wiping my face, bringing me water and reassuring me that I would be okay. This continued for 3 hours...the worst three hours that I have ever had at a party.

After all that was out of my system I rushed like mad...dancing the night away...but I would have rather done a little bit and paced myself, being able to enjoy the entire night. Instead, I made myself sick and missed my favourite dj.

So, my advice to u, pace yourself. Don't be greedy. You will have a wicked time even if you don't pump yourself full of everything that is available. And if u are going to mix drugs, make sure you find out what goes...because I learned what doesn't work, but it wasn't a fun way to learn...take care of yourselves...and party hard!!!!!!"
