— Ace They just found a 1956 film of an acid-test at the Veteran's Administration featuring a housewife.
And now I sorta want to try some acid. I want to see molecules in color, too.

Do hippies on LSD act like normal people?
Inquiring minds want to know. New round of experiments!
(I'm dying for THAT YouTube video, someone dressed as a hippie talking like a completely normal, responsible person (or even *gasp* a conservative) with the narrator describing it as an acid trip).

Nah. Spoiler follows (hopefully I got the color right; highlight it to read):
The movie is Robbin's character's death hallucination. He's actually on the operating table in a mobile hospital, and dies at the end of the movie.

Having had to deal with some friends during a bad trip...uh, no, no you most definitely don't want to drop acid. Try coping with somebody who thinks you're a space alien trying to drag him off to the mother ship sometime -- sure, it's funny now, but at the time...

My older brother took 6 hits and came home. I couldn't keep him hidden. I knew I was in trouble when he started asking "What IS time". Then he freaked out and started thinking I wasn't really his brother, that I was an alien. He threw me across the room. I had to tell mom because there was not way to control him. The police were called, I had to convince him to get in the ambulance. He spent 30 days in the psych ward

27 Ah the joys of young adulthood.
Sometimes the best and most hilarious cons are on ourselves: like my friends and I going on a "vision quest" together -- which was just our hypocritical little way of finding some higher purpose for getting drunk, smoking pot, and doing peyote on a weekend camping trip (good thing we didn't wind up dead or something)...it's not just getting stoned if it's spiritual man. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Yes, I admitted it to my kids -- along with the dumb, lame ass excuse we felt compelled to lie to ourselves with. A teachable moment dontcha know.

I dropped a tab once at the Boudin Festival in Broussard, La. Cemetery scene in Easy Rider? Kinda like that. All my sixes were nine. I didn't mind.
I did too in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras, but it just felt like speed.

Not to be the LSD Czar but isn't there some type of age statute of limitations here? It would be like saying as a 45 yr old dude, 'hey I want to go to Mardi Gras, never been'. Umm, really?
Dunno. Just seems like something you try as a yougin'.

My first shroom trip was to a Putt Putt with a bottle of Amaretto.

Vietnam Vets + Acid = Memorable Experiences
I've seen a full out assault on a pasture full of Llama undertaken by a Vietnam Vet on Mescalin.
Awesome, awesome sight, that. Those llama damn near killed the crazy bastard. One of my best memories of Ignacio, Colorado.

What I remember most after moving to Atlanta in the early 80s, were the "Stress Clinics"...you could literally go in, tell whoever you were "stressed", and you'd be given Q'aaludes. Seriously, I never went.
I don't think I ever went to a party after moving to Atlanta that several people didn't offer me 'ludes or coke. You could do coke in any night club in Atlanta, openly.

Wow, this takes me back to my youth. The most fun and the hardest I've ever laughed was when doing acid. I did it many times back in my college/rock and roll band days. The first time was doing windowpane at a Manfred Mann/Uriah Heep concert in Albuquerque. I must say it made for an intense and memorable concert experience!
It definitely enhances and warps your perceptions, that's for sure. You see things in a whole new light, and I can relate to this woman's experience completely. Everything is everything, man. : )
I've never regretted it a bit. And have never had a flashback, damnit...
Posted by: Marmo at January 18, 2011 03:08 PM (1KSBb)
I did acid a handful of times many, many moons ago with no real ill effect.
The last time was before my buddies I went and saw the IMAX documentary Everest.

96 The only time I ever puked was on my birthday (I'm not telling which one) -- started drinking at 10 a.m., beer, wine, vodka, bourbon, tequila, rum -- anything I could lay my hands on -- continued straight through until midnight (they tell me slamming the fifth of Everclear was the catalyst).
It was a memorable puke fest though. Alcohol poisoning can be such a harsh thing.

PCP was the one drug I definitely regretted doing. A friend talked me into it, and as I sat there looking at my hand and wondering if it was really a part of me, I convinced him that we should each do a hit of acid that I had so we could get back to a state we were familiar with. Big mistake. I never freaked out or anything. I just wanted it all to end.
Yeah, so don't do PCP. It really f*cks with your judgment. I mean, deciding to take acid to get rid of the effects of PCP? Duh.

I knew a fella who spent a summer at Meeks Bay Lake Tahoe as a resort hand. His roomie had a sugar jar that was laced with Acid. Every morning for a whole summer he would stick a finger in the jar and lick the sugar and go to work tripping.
He spent his life as an elementary school janitor in Sacramento. Mucking out heads, emptying trash cans, scraping gum off of floors....

Good god, I saw the Ed Sullivan gig on PBS for the first time a couple months ago during one of their telethons and it was a wierd, nightmarish mish-mash of crazy.
I don't care to see it again.
Speaking of which, I have the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus on DVD and that can get almost as bad.

One of the best arguments for drug use I know....
Posted by: MrScribbler© at January 18, 2011 04:07 PM (Ulu3i)
Ah now, I wouldn't call myself a "dope fiend" -- never did anything but pot (and only a dozen times; it really didn't do anything for me -- and a ditch weed hangover can be a memorable and teaching moment) and peyote that once (and never again). The rest of it just wasn't for me, and I knew it beforehand. Booze took some time to release its hold -- but even that now...meh, no real reason to drink anymore.
And I told my kids because they asked -- I'm glad they felt confident enough to ask me, and they deserved an honest answer. I'm sure it isn't going to dissuade them from trying shit, but hopefully they can understand the implications of doing it a bit better -- the key is to remember to tell them not just about the funny incident with Batman, but also the not so fun stuff, like hurling your guts out, and having a headache and chills the next day but still having to go to work, or having somebody fall into a lime pit (which happened to a student at my college, not a personal story -- but it was pretty heinous nonetheless)

Never did any major drugs despite them being all around during my growing up years, in California, no less.
Just not attractive to me, even though my siblings did them all.
It almost seemed like drug use was encouraged then. Even cartoons. Recalling the strange Marty Croft cartoons...like HR Pufenstuff.
Can you imagine that on tv today? I can't.

One summer during my teen years one of the older guys came back from a family vacation to Florida with a 10 pound bail of hash that that they pulled off the beach (presumably from a failed drug run). Cicero in The Summer of Hash, it was almost enough to take your mind off of the failing infrastructure, mob running the town, and whorehouses galore.

I never took a hit, but I could (and proved time and time again) that I could drink any man under the table. All 115 pounds of my 5'5 frame
I considered these contests my 'second job' because I always made sure money was collected before the drinking began.

They dinna make it as pure as they did in the 40s & 50s like when Rock Hudson took it on his back-then Obamacare. Nowadays it's cut with speed, giving you more of a scary Freak Brothers Gone Wrong imagery. I noticed that the woman didn't get the laughies. (Another speed-induced property.) It did enhance outdoor Yes concerts, but overall not really worth it.
It doesn't just affect sight, it affects auditory and olfactory senses as well. Not a very good trip if you smell sweaty feet for over 4 hours.
Overall rating, given the many associated dangers, F-. Not to be toyed with. If you MUST get a buzz, pot's the best overall mellow. But not for me now. I'm an old fuck. Beer me.

I was tripping with my roommate once and went to Gabes, an Iowa City live music club, to play pinball. After we got back to our dorm at 2am or so I realized I had left my keys on the pinball machine so we went back there, still tripping balls.
When we got there it was closed, so I start pounding on the front door. Nobody answers. So my roomie goes around back to pound on the beer garden door while I continue to pound on front door. All of a sudden the door opens a crack and out comes a .45 right in my face.
Now, one thing that harshes a good trip is looking down the barrel of a gun.
"Whattaya want?" says the guy.
"i left my keys in there" I squeak, nearly pissing my pants.
"there's a guy at the back who's saying the same thing," he barks.
Anyhoo, I later realized they were probably counting the cash after closing and were understandably armed. It was probably another 2 weeks before I dropped acid again.
