About twelve years ago, I was into shrooms and acid, and we had dropped some hits and were hanging around in the downtow area where I lived, small town. Anyway, we're triping out hanging on our bikes, and my friend was like "Dude! Your neck is swollen big time!" I looked in the window of the store we were in front of, and the right side of my neck was SOOOO swollen, it was like my cheek bone went straight down to my collarbone, and it wasnt the acid making me see shit, it was real lol. So I rode my ass home and laid out on the couch. My dad and stepmom came home and as soon as she saw me she was taking my ass to the hospital. She was a pretty hip chick and had partied in her days and still did a little bit, but I didnt want her or my dad especially to know I was on acid. They could handle the weed, but nothing else. So here I am in the emergency room tripping my balls off, the doctors flashing his light thing in my eyes. Pupils are dialated......obviously lol. Ended up being diagnosed as the mumps, though to this day I really think it was some kind of reaction to the acid that cause the glands to swell up.

Anyway, for anyone that has done acid, imagine having to go to the emergency room, with your parents, tripping your balls off. Nobody, not even the doctor ever mentioned drugs or me being high at all, so I guess I played it off well but at the time, it REALLY did suck. I've told my old man about all kinds of shit I did back in the day, and we laugh about it. But thats one I still havent told him lol.
