Experience Description

I had taken some Delta-8 gummies with my sister since they were legal and I wanted to relax. I can't drink due to Asian Flush syndrome and wanted to celebrate my recent graduation for my Master's degree in Space Studies - Aerospace Science. Both my sister and I took the same dose (3 gummies) then I headed to bed with my wife. My sister was fine with No ill effects.

About two hours later I woke up in worst pain than anything I could imagine. I managed to gain a tiny bit of control over my muscles to tell my wife to call 911 before I started "fading". I could feel my heart seizing and my vision starting looking like I was dropping away. I was screaming in my head to get out of it. The lights in the room were on and I didn't even notice the lights were on at that point as it all went dark.

In the shades of a color I cannot describe, like a brown-purple-grey-black, I saw a rope and ballard line like the line to a club with rope gates leading to the front of a building. The "bouncer" quickly clasped the rope closed and some of my deceased family members were there telling me "No, go back!" In the void a soothing voice told me "No, not like this. Follow my breathing. Concentrate on breathing." It was coaching me on breathing as I could feel my heart seize up again shooting pain down my limbs, which I had lost control of all conscience control over and they were just twitching.

After the paramedics stabilized me, I was loaded in the ambulance. On the way to the hospital my vision turned red and had lines like looking at a voice on a spectrograph from a spectrum analyzer. As that happened I heart my heart monitor flat line and thought "aw f#$%. No, you gotta be kidding me!" Just then the voice cane back and coached me through breathing again. After that, I started to feel my limbs again.

I feel like I've been given a second chance and that I'm confident God exists. God was coaching me on how to survive. If it wasn't God then who was it? I wasn't a voice you hear, you felt it.
