This picture is designed to give the viewer the simulated experience of having a stroke (particularly in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex, where visual perception occurs.) Everything looks hauntingly familiar but you just can't quite recognize anything.

Went to my first festival, my girlfriend was by guide and wasn't used to doing drugs with newbs. Took a good amount of mdma and a double dose if LSD with no experience in either. Who knows what was actually in the mdma, as you say.

I was gone in ways that are hard to describe. There were moments I thought I would die (and accepted it! Imagine!), moments I thought I was special and unique, and moments where I felt like a grain of sand in the desert. After the mdma started to taper off, I was totally unresponsive to the outside world and ended up at the medical tent for a while, definitely not the experience people look for.

My girlfriend still apologies to me about it sometimes, but man. What a fuckin' ride.
