#GenX experimenting with #hallucinogenic #acid in early 90s as a teen memory.

8 of us high-school friends decided to drop acid together. It was my first time. We spent first 3 hours at the old McDonald's by Uptown - when it had the creepy upstairs area. We were fascinated by just our hands moving for 3 hours. We got kicked out for loitering. We ended up at an elementary school playground in Gordon Head. Where we buried a friend up to her neck in the sand & then we forgot she was buried there, while we took turns bodysurfing atop a friend's car. We returned to dig our buried pal up. We went to Cedar Hill rec centre - when they still had the bubble dome. We climbed atop of it & bounced on the roof before the cops came. We took off & ended up in middle of an abandoned farm field. We played hide n go seek in the fields until about 5am. Then we all went home & slept all day.
