hahaha, one of many, one of many....
Just over a year ago I had heard about people buying BZP off the internet, to those of you who don't know, BZP is apparently an ecstasy replacement and was completely legal in the UK at the time.

Shopping on the websites was like being a kid in a candy store! Oh what flavour to choose? What do I want to be feeling? Ooh the decisions...

I decided to go for 2 different types of tablets in the end, a packet of 3 purple XXX BZP tablets from a company called London Underground and a little tub of tablets called Purple something. Anyway, it cost about £17 in total, but I thought, hey!, it's legal, so it's "obviously better for you than the illegal stuff".

I'm not sure why I didn't decide to engage the use of logic at this point, but anyway, the tablets arrived in a small jiffy bag. My brother was due to be coming around that night for a party and we were looking forward to trying them out, as you do.

I got impatient and decided to have one of the XXX's. I waited for an hour and a half and my brother had not arrived, nor was I off my face. Most disappointing! In fact, everything was pretty damn normal. So I decided to have 2 of the other tablets instead, which apparently was the normal dosage for those particular pills. Still logic had not engaged at this point, the tablets had arrived in unsealed containers with labels on, one of them was just a plastic bag stapled to a bit of cardboard, I still didn't stop to think.

This is when things started getting weird, I was playing Battlefield 2 on the 360 and everything started going extremely slow, I mean like someone had slowed down the game to about a 10th of it's normal speed. I stepped away from the game and decided to walk about, everything seemed normal speed, except now I was extremely agitated. So I went and played some more of the game, but got too freaked out by seemingly running rings around people before they had even noticed i was there. (Believe me, it was that weird).

I turned that shit off and just sat on the sofa, like a plum, waiting for my brother to arrive, who being an older brother, would assure me that everything is fine, and to just chill out, but it was to be another hour before he arrived. By the time he actually arrived the room was already pulsating different colours and every now and then it looked as if I was underwater.

Don't get me wrong, it was a hell of a thing to experience, but not what I wanted, not what I wanted at all. My brother had one of the XXX tablets and the evening just got weirder from there. I mean really weird, it was more like acid than ecstacy. I could see lines coming out of things as if everything was connected to each other.

That all lasted for about 6 hours in total, then a 36 hour come down was to follow, which was not good and I ended up in a hospital waiting room, curled into a ball in the corner of the room, watching the magazines move around the table on their own, just waiting for the world to end. (Amongst other things, please don't think this was fun :( )

Moral of the story? Treat yourself with a little respect and don't buy dodgy pills of the internet, get them off your dealer instead ;) j/k

Edit: Since that day, I have not touched drugs :) except booze...

More than anything
I'm surprised that you took a 'legal high' and something happened.

Not something good, admittedly, but something.
