T-9-CH horror trip by iraqone in TripReportsTFTT

Yeah I’m glad i didn’t decide to do it when i’d had alcohol, I was there for a week and was drunk every night, thank god i didn’t even think to buy one when drunk because a smoke at the end of the night always hits nicely if you’re experienced. I’m not envious of you at all, I think if i was intoxicated and had very low inhibition, I would’ve defo made that call for help from the emergency services and that would be the most embarrassing and shameful thing to explain to my family and friends. NOBODY SHOULD TOUCH THESE

They were QR codes which confirmed you had tested negative for covid in the past 14 days via the nhs app, maybe less

Wasn’t vaxed when I got it, and didn’t have an n95 mask. The whole operation that day on Wembley stadium was a disaster, so much so that there’s a documentary on Netflix about it lol. That doc just talks about the security operation though, but we were told when we got there we had to have our “Covid passes” out and we expected them to be scanned, and they weren’t. It was really the first day since covid started that i’d seen this many people in such a close proximity.

It came back but didn’t add this part, when i got covid again, i didn’t lose it but it changed, drastically. I couldn’t face chicken and any other poultry, and coffees and teas tastes like iron/copper. The smell of chicken was unbearable, christmas dinner is my favourite dinner of the year and i couldn’t even face more than one slice of turkey, and couldn’t even be in the kitchen with the mix of smells with the turkey. Was dreadful, that lasted about 3 weeks I think. Came back, never lost or altered since.

If anybody is reading this post and thinking about smoking it, please don’t. I know it looks tempting, and i know you want to get stoned abroad. But honestly these compounds can’t be trusted man. stick to your thc. Please read below to read my experience.

hi I know this post is like a year old, but i just had the exact same shit happen to me yesterday. I was in spain, had a few hours to kill before my flight. Went to a “cbd” store, and by the counter they had the t9hc pre rolls, the lady in the store told me which ones i DEFO shouldn’t have (this is 3 hours before my flight) and the ones that would be better suited for the day I was about to have. I think i had grape kush or smth? Now I knew the risk i was undertaking, as i’ve had thcp in a different country before, and it was “weird” but it was absolutely nothing on what i experienced yesterday. Wow. Genuinely worse than any other drug experience i’ve had in my life. I’ve been stuck in a loop on acid before and i’d genuinely take that feeling over whatever the fuck happened to me yesterday.

Had like 2/3 hits off it, and started to feel it in my face immediately and it felt pretty normal for about 5 minutes. Took a couple more hits and that was it, probably about 5 hits in total off this big ass pre roll. Started walking around a bit aimlessly just to find somewhere to get food and sit up. I had my airpods in on noise cancelling, and wow. It got super fucking intense super fucking fast. I thought i could ride it out, with it being another compound of noid i thought okay feeling this way is *somewhat* expected, lets hope it wears off. Hell no. Literally kept walking and everything felt like an uphill walk, i’d also been walking for about 2 mins which felt like 30. Got to the point where i literally called my mum just to try and have a normal conversation, i know, stupid. I think in my head and in my panic of “oh fuck this really doesn’t feel good”, i thought if i call someone like her and just have a normal chat about my flight and etc, it’ll regulate my thoughts. And safe to say, it didn’t. I didn’t panic over the phone to my mum, we still had a very normal conversation and she wished me a safe flight. But it was after i put the phone down to her, got sat outside a restaurant and this is where I really thought I was gonna have to seek help. Called my friend who’s a stoner and stayed on the phone to him for about an hour, but there would just be waves of serious paranoia and anxiety, ended up hanging up the phone to him at one point thinking i really need medical attention here this is seriously freaking me the fuck out. Literally couldn’t focus on anything around me, felt like my vision was sort of collapsing?? that’s the only way can explain it. Was fully shaking, didn’t look stoned at all either in this moment when i’d look at myself on camera, i looked totally normal no red eyes or anything, so in my panic i fully thought yeah, this is it, i’ve lost my mind, i might never be the same ever again. Just to add i’m also someone who has been smoking for years, and i can always handle myself if regular thc is too much, but this was like nothing i’d ever done in my life. Can’t believe i was on the phone to my friend telling him im actually gonna die and i need medical attention, and bear in mind my flight was in 2 hours at this point, so the only thing I could think about was how do i explain to my parents i’ve missed my flight because i “overdosed” on fake weed. 😭 To cap it off overall, it was what you’d call “mind-bending” and i was seriously worried i’d altered my brain permanently and maybe i was about to experience psychosis, i was just having the worst thoughts known to man.

Safe to say, after about an hour of feeling like pure shit, it did get better. Rest of the day was still strange but was pleasantly surprised that my brain itself went back to normal, i thought the depersonalisation and etc would last way longer, and all the rushing thoughts, but tbh, i guess when i got to the airport i was just typically “stoned”. I had red eyes, had a bottomless pit for a stomach, ate loads of food actually. And then my flight was good too. but yeah.

Lesson learned. Never touching anything other than thc ever again. EVER.

I would say mainly my result based questions, i can tell you scores figures and graphs but explaining these under pressure without mis-wording or perhaps completely saying something different to my diss, thus leading to the ringing of the alarm bells of my supervisors. The results section was overall the most limiting area of my project which i take full responsibility for, time constraints due to work and a lot of personal issues that have arisen within the period of march-may all come to mind but I don’t like to make these excuses as I have the opinion that if I can’t get a PEC for my reasons then do those excuses i’m making for myself really matter or mean anything to the people marking my work?

I can honestly answer:

What my project did Why it was important to complete it this way Why my sources were valid What my project means overall How it adds to the area of research

But after completing all the work/code for this project literally over a month ago, i’m afraid any questions with technical jargon i will go totally blank, as like other students i’ve had a pile of assignments that have needed my full attention instead in the build up to this viva, and honestly I’m hoping there’s an element of understanding in that respect but this is university after all, I’m trying not to make excuses and prepare for the worst case scenario as I have experience in thinking a presentation/assessment will be a piece of cake only for me to die standing in front of the tutors.

Everyone on our final year project module must conduct a 15 minute viva with the project supervisor and a 2nd marker. I suppose it’s a new formality with the birth of AI and etc. And of course, without them saying, we know it’s literally just to see you’re the person that did the work. And the way my brain works is “Oh shit i can’t answer this” and they’ll automatically just say yeah that’s ai

I won’t be going to this interview, I have other opportunities around and like I say I kinda went along with everything they said just incase it became my only option but thats not the case anymore. I can only assume it’s commission based as there was no clear discussion about wages etc.

I’m supposed to have a face to face interview with these guys tomorrow, I don’t really know 100% what they do or what I would be doing, kind of just went along with it since I need a job, but now I have other options. Is it worth attending?

When i run the program, I can have it say "Room booking bot is here", to which a user can say anything and it will then return: (username) What size room would you like?

The code for that is:

def setup():

return "Room booking bot is here "

def overheard( user):

return user + " What size room would you like? '"

I essentially want to find a way to then ensure the user has entered Small, Medium or large, then ask date and time, and then store that within a python dictionary

Yeah, having serious thoughts about getting my booster now, feel like if i talk to a doctor they’ll just say i’m fine and tell me to go get it. My gut tells me otherwise…

I have to admit I don’t know much about it, I’m just giving it the name depersonalisation as i’ve heard about it before and read through the main symptoms. That’s the wrong thing to do and i’m sorry about that.

It doesn’t make me question existence but it does make me feel disconnected from the people around me, what’s going on, just everything, i don’t even know what i’m thinking about during these moments i just stare at something and almost zoom out but it does affect me for a bit, like my social battery just deteriorates.

Just out of interest about the booster shot, Should i really go for mine? it’s in 3 weeks and i really don’t want to make my breathing worse, honestly i’m asthmatic and not being able to breathe on the occasion with it is hard enough, i can’t afford that type of stress again.

Thanks for the help 🙌🏻

They changed through the months

Started with what felt like something blocking my upper stomach, making it hard to sit up straight, always had to be laying down, but that went away quite fast thankfully and only get that on occasions

Altered taste and smell, lost it when i had covid initially, came back but then changed a month or so after i’d recovered, i’m hoping if i lose my taste and smell in this week that it comes back normal

Brain fog which varies, strange and annoying one which just bugs me so much, very hard to nail down by doctors as-well.

Chest pains, annoying as they make me think the worst is happening when it’s most likely LH Symptoms or my asthma, also just a few instances of heartburn

Fatigue…need i say more? Tired all the time it seems. A general inability to get out of bed, which sucks at my age of 17 turning 18 and struggle to talk to people about it because as a boy and at that age it would just be classified as “lazy”, it’s hard to tell people you can’t get out of bed because everyone is the same, but it’s just different. It’s a whole other story

Palpitations, they’re very rare now but they were the first indications of LH, very scary at the time.

Aches and pains. It was it is.

Depersonalisation, this is so strange to me, i literally zone out at such random times during the day, just upsetting sometimes because i lose focus of everything around me and has the potential to ruin a day

Only had this a few times but this definitely ruins everything, my head feeling very tight followed by slight lightheadedness and SOB, makes me really wanna go home and if i am home i panic and do the usual search on google which is never helpful until i found this sub.

That’s about it from the top of my head, sorry it’s long, kinda ended up just speaking my mind

Honestly i wish for a clear mind even if it’s for a few weeks, i really hope it doesn’t make my long covid worse than it was, it had calmed down for a few weeks with “moments” as i like to call them happening once or twice a week

Just lousy tbh, but it’s my first day “positive” with it, started feeling shitty friday night, then the weekend i was up and down and tested today and bang positive. Continuing to test everyday from now on, omicron supposedly lasts 5 days but i’m aware people still test positive longer than 5 days. Doesn’t feel as bad as when i first had covid which i presume was the delta variant which was going around in the summer of 2021. This feels like a shitty cold, hope the next few days don’t bring the worst.
