The Trip on Base

article image placeholderUploaded by @Gitdown
Tripping. It is so much easier to write about my time serving in the military and traveling on the US and the San Josh. I think it's because we're also removed from who we used to be. I could see who we were as separate characters, floundering about trying to figure things out. A lot of us have moved on, became better people and grew out of it. Some of us are married, have kids and look back at this time. Like watching an old favorite TV show

Part 2 Shibuya Magic Mushrooms on American Soil

I just couldn't impact someone else's career, especially if they get kicked out or discharged dishonorably due to a zero tolerance on drugs. In the armed forces, there were random and periodic drug tests. I've come to find out the things that can either ruin your life or kill you when out of your system in less than five days. We stayed in your system for 30 days or months

"Do the right thing and no harm will come to you." -Meghan

Hello. Swallow. So if you got this far, I'm telling the story about my first trip in Japan with magic mushrooms. But at the end of it, if you notice, while I was on leave, I found out that four of them had a little party and two of them got hit out. And I didn't feel comfortable telling making story. So we had a chat about it because it was also on her mind. So I'm going to read you the chat

"Like, he popped positive, assholes!"

I had never saw him before my whole life. I don't remember his name. Nothing. It was awful. But I just saw how people can be so misled. I was so scared. And we had such a nice time before. You're supposed to have good vibes during this. This whole fanatical Jesus thing is too much. I was quiet into myself, connecting to the universe. I was always silly and stupid. Never violent and weird. Exactly

Wow, That sounds soo crazy and devastating!

Like anything in life, you just take the chance. But, boy, some things, some drugs affect people differently. I've always personally been afraid of doing anything like mushrooms or any kind of psychedelics. I just never heard good things about it. There's always that one person that unfortunately that guy who just loses their s*** and murders someone who jumps off a roof or something. But I'm glad you were there. You just totally missed all that

So maybe a little bit before they were desperate for people to be soldiers. So for criminals, in lieu of going to jail was given an option of going into the military. So I hear that it got really bad to the point where the gangs that were in jail kind of translated or migrated itself into the military
