Erowid Experience Vaults

the Erowid Experience Vaults is a section of the Erowid.net that contains a massive collection of first-hand experiences with psychoactive substances. I occasionally read stories in it for research purposes, but also for fun. here are some of my favorite stories, with quotes to show you what about them makes them my favorite. note that the content warnings are for the stuff on this page, not the stories themselves. I don't endorse this kind of drug use, I simply find the stories compelling and/or funny—don't try it at home, guys.

On a Third Day I Regained My Ability to Read - Datura

I'm in a bath, sitting on a toilet, got rid of an extra weight and went in shower, spiders were there as well, I was fed up, so I washed them off from walls, in other words, made the whole place wet, now I could take a shower, I lost time again, according to my mom, I had started growling and banging on the door, making odd noises, mumbling "spiders, spiders are everywhere", I fell in the bathtub, that's when I regained some fragment of my consciousness, as I'm laying on the bathtub floor, I could feel my body overheat, I was burning up, but I was too tripped out to change the temperature to cold, so o overheated my body even more, I lost time again, now I'm at a bathroom door, naked, except I'm holding a bathroom curtain on my shoulders, using it as a cape, waters still on, the place is drenched, miraculously I managed to open the door, my mom was standing in front of me, looking at her idiot, completely naked, 22 y/o son, who covered his back and arse with a bathroom curtain, in a disgraced manner, my dick dangling around, squatting, trying to pick up non-existent spiders from the floor, yelling, mumbling and warning not to step on them.

I lost time again, my mom told me the following: "as you were trying to pick the spiders up from the floor I grabbed your arm and told you to sober up, you put your jacket on while still wearing the bathroom curtain and left pair of two different flip flops, you yelled at me to leave you alone and that you were going in a climbing gym, I grabbed your arm tighter, then you started freaking out, I couldn't hold onto you, you started running around, growling, screeching, I was scared, in a few minutes an ambulance arrived, you were still naked, running around with a bathroom curtain on your shoulders, swinging your junk around, flirting with the medic, asking them if it was her first year in a med school, we managed to sit you down on chair, you refused to put on clothes, or even a a towel to cover up, your balls were resting on the chair, and your pp was resting on your balls, I felt ashamed for you, you were still flirting her, they injected you with something".

Delusion, Delirium and Disorder - DXM, Dimenhydrinate, and Cannabis

‘Cows wear bells because their horns don’t work’ I answered in a hey-eureka tone of voice thinking that it explained everything perfectly. The priest assumed a more meditative demeanour. I waited for a while for him to say something but when it became apparent that he wasn’t going to I elaborated on my answer. ‘What I mean to say is, I’m sick of being a dog yapping after its own tail. This way I’m the serpent that’s not merely yapping at my tail, but eating it. Do you know how painful it is to eat your own tail? Not many people can actually do it… I’m gonna eat my whole grotesque, slimy body. And when I’m done I’m gonna eat up the rest of the fuckin universe as well – the rest of the multi-verse, there’s more than 1 universe you know. Imagine that. I’m gonna reduce myself to a flattened head and a pair of salivating jaws eating everything in sight. Only I won’t be able to see cause I’ll eat my eyes. And when I finish eating the cosmos my head will explode and out of the mucus and filth of my skull a new utopian civilization will grow’

Somewhere around this point my priestly friend informed me that I was babbling. I believed him and shut up.

Nightmare? - Hydrocodone, Acetaminophen

Then... I was back in my bed yet again. I woke up and looked around. Nothing was moving. There was no band-aid on my arm. The glass was intact. Only an hour had passed. I woke my sister up and asked her if I had disturbed her at all. She said that I hadn't, and that she was just then attempting to sleep.

NONE OF THAT HAD HAPPENED AT ALL!!!!
