Experience Description I was 17 years old when I tried a synthetic form of marijuana called K2. I tried it with my boyfriend and his two other adult friends. I did it a couple times before, so didn't think there would be any adverse events. I was wrong. I was cooking a steak on the trailer stove. I blacked out while holding the pan. My boyfriend, at the time, caught me before I hit the ground. He and his friend carried me over to a bed and laid me down. They were slapping my face, trying to wake me up. I saw this happen because I had left my body and was watching them. They were standing at my head. I saw myself lying down. I was in a fog-like state and looked like a mist, from what I could see. I had no color, just a big space of shaped-mist where I was attached to my feet. I was lying down on the couch and I saw myself kneeling upward looking face-to-face at myself. I was kneeling out of my body at a right angle down to my knees and looking down on myself. My knees were attached. My shin areas were attached with my feet attached too. I didn't see a light. I didn't see darkness. I saw what I see in every day now I heard what I heard. None of that. My body couldn’t move when I was in the altered state. I felt nothing. I didn't feel Happiness, pain, anger, or sadness. I just looked around and noticed that nothing had changed, the colors and the people were the same. I didn't want to leave my whole body, so didn't really move anywhere. It just left my head down to my knees so I was kneeling out of right angle looking down on myself my knees were attached and my lower legs so my shin areas were attached with my feet were attached I could see everything while having a feeling of knowing that someone wanted me to wake up. I woke up after seeing them trying to wake me up. I don’t know how long it was. They told me I was out for maybe two minutes.
