Until the weekend before last, I assumed that Ephedrine was a relatively
safe and harmless way to perk up without any unusual side effects. Then
something happened which most definitely changed my mind.
During the course of an evening, I had consumed a fair amount of alcohol
(7-8 drinks over several hours), smoked a bowl of pot, and had taken 8
Ephedrine tablets. Then I decided to drive from my home in Austin down
to visit a friend in San Antonio. I really wasn't that drunk, and I
wasn't still particularly stoned, so I assumed I'd be fine. I was
wrong.
One second I'm leaving my house, and literally the next thing I know
it's 45 minutes later and I'm driving off the road and colliding with a
barbed wire fence. Conscious thought and memory hit me in one sudden,
horrifying moment. Though I can clearly remember everything after that
moment (which occurred as I slammed into the fence), there's about 45
minutes before that point which I have absolutely no recollection of.
Somehow I ended up on a country road in the middle of nowhere where I
most definitely should NOT have been; I was on the wrong road and I had
no idea why I would be on it. There's one route I take to San Antonio,
and that wasn't it. I can't really say it was a blackout, though,
because I was conscious the entire time - and DRIVING, no less.
I know it was the Ephedrine which caused me to blackout the 45 minutes
between the time that I left my house and when I had the wreck, since
I've never had an experience like that on pot or alcohol alone. Has
anyone else had a similar experience? Can anyone explain why this
occurred? The scary part is that I know I completely lost control of my
senses. I was driving down a road which there was no reason for me to
be on, and I can't figure out why. Fortunately the road was empty
(since it was the middle of the night) and I hit a fence instead of
slamming head-on into a tree or another car.
