- This sounds familiar... My friend and I did about five hits apiece. Every sound *echoed*,
- the walls were moving and I simply *couldn't* make my eyes hold still long enough to read.
- My friend twitched, and I bad-tripped (on pot!). I thought that I had drank water with
- nicotine in it; I felt a burning sensation travel around the veins in my body, and I thought,
- "the nicotine is going to get to my heart, I'll have heart palpitations and DIE!" After that
- night, we only did two to three hits apiece when we smoked out of that sack, and it was fine.
