My First LSD Trip Ever since I heard of LSD, I’d always been interested in it. I could never believe that taking a drug could literally alter your reality.

Every time the main character shot and killed an alien, it exploded into millions of colors and body parts. Kyle continued to play the game, and I continued to give my undivided attention.
