A teacher in Santa Cruz took a class of 40 high school students on a walking field trip. The plan was to take them to the local bookstore, then visit the Community Center, and if there was time left hang out in the park.

Shortly after getting underway, he became light-headed and eventually he realized that somebody had slipped him some drug. Fortunately he had the presence of mind to identify the one student who would be stupid enough to do that and confronted him. The student admitted putting LSD into his coffee.

The teacher had to make a quick decision while he still could. There was one teaching assistant with him. He could explain, hand the students over to him, and go home. But he didn’t want to ruin the trip for everyone.

He made the decision, for better or for worse, to ride it out.

Here is his report in all the flashing, melting and pulsing detail: Field Trippin’.
