Either way, I've gained new respect for them. I felt kind of embarrassed when they were trying to convince me to do the acid and reassure me everything was going to be ok.

Since you're here, I've read about your bad trips, and I figure you've had plenty of others you haven't mentioned. So, why do you (still) do drugs, and how do you deal with fear (or have dealt with it) (if you ever had or still have any)?

The question goes to anyone else in this thread.
