San Pedro Problems
SWIM had no drug experiences before this apart from Alcohol. SWIM prepared a tea with 50g of dried San Pedro skins.
2-3 hours after drinking the tea the visions started, really cool 20ft projections faces on buildings including famous celebrities, also enhanced colours etc. SWIMs friend who also had no experience with hallucagons wasn't seeing anything yet and decided to leave me alone and go to a club with a bunch of other friends as SWIM was having a pretty good time. This all happened in the centre of london, so SWIM was walking around london alone on 50g of pedro. SWIM also had no place to go and stay because he was staying at his friends flat, and you need to get past security to get into the building, SWIM had no phone, so he had no choice but to stay on the streets. This is a very bad idea.
SWIM had some pretty amazing visuals and great physical feelings. I'm pretty lanky, but the buzzing feeling the pedro gave me in my shoulders made me feel incredibly strong and I felt like the hulk prowling the dark streets.
Anyway, SWIM was put in a couple of horrible situations that didn't help his trip. For example, at one point SWIM had to walk through a sea (literally about 20-30) of policemen. It was the centre of london so that's a place where they all gather as a base he guesses. SWIM just focussed straight ahead and walked normal even though my heart was beating at a thousand miles an hour.
Around about this time, SWIM started to worry about getting in contact with his friend again. He decided to make his way back to his friends building a form a plan there. As SWIM was walking back, the constant police and ambulance sirens were making SWIM crazy and paranoid that the police where after him because he'd taken drugs.
When SWIM got back to his friends building, he decided that he'd try to talk to the security and explain that he'd forgotten his phone and to ask them to ring his friend's room to see if he was in. However, there were people smoking outside, and SWIM swears he heard one of them say under their breath to SWIM "you're going to get knicked" (afterwards he thinks this must have been just paranoia.) So SWIM aborted going inside and walked round the building whilst thinking, there by sheer luck he bumped into his friend! They were both so relieved and shaking, so they had a can of coke and couple of cigarettes.
Then, they went in to the building and had to sort a few things out with security and had to pay for SWIM to spend the night. This only usually takes a minute but it seemed like 10 minutes to SWIM and his heart was going insane because he was so nervous. The security man looked SWIM directly in the eyes with a weird expression. Obviously noticing the massive pupils. SWIMS friend was also getting freaked out by the security.
Finally,the got into the room. This was about 8-9 hours after taking the tea if SWIM had to guess but he couldn't say for sure. It's a pretty small room, this is were SWIM started to have problems. SWIM doesn't know if it is just because he isn't used to the fast/altered heartbeat certain drugs can produce. But SWIM was really worried about his heart, and found it hard to keep still. It's hard to explain but it was just weird feelings. SWIM is wondering if anyone else has had heart problems brought on by pedro before or if it was just his imagination. SWIM also has felt his heart do weird things for about 2 weeks after, but it's back to normal now.
SWIM will definetly go to nature and find a secluded field for the next time he does san pedro and realises he did some stupid things this first time. Any more advice for SWIMs next trip?
