Trip On This

Thanks for the flashbacks Albert.

Have a good trip Albert,which ever direction!

He lived to the ripe old age of 102,
so maybe the brown acid wasn't so bad after all!

Sorry Munch I was being unintentionally cryptic
I was referring to a scene in the original Woodstock film,
where there is a stage announcement along the lines of

“We have been told there is some brown acid in circulation here that isn't particularly good.
If you have taken some don't worry, & if you want to take some that's up to you,
but you might want to avoid the brown acid”

Always struck me as a sure way to spread panic at that festival!

Whats brown Acid?

Well it's like man so not white or transparent or twinkly, do you know I can see your bones through your skin?

There are three side effects of acid:
enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third.

I can't remember who said that!

George Carlin once said,
"According to Timothy Leary's brother - Really Leary - when you die, your soul goes to a garage in Buffalo"

Well, he made Pink Floyd albums listenable.

Apparently there was a surprising large amount of sweetcorn in the mud.

I thought he died years ago... I thought Sid Barrett died 20 years ago, but it was last year. Tim Leary has his brain kept in suspended animation. I've seen a bunch of Dead shows which were probably not that great.....but at the time AMAZING!! College was "Funner"! I now question things like religion, politicians, media, etc. If I tripped now (I'm 40) it wouldn't be entirely fun. I'd probably freak out. LSD is better to do when you're young and the biggest worry you have is passing a mid term and getting laid.

Everyone should trip just once

BTW, the most horrible hi-fi will sound AWESOME!

I went to see "2001" with a mate after ingesting some of lthe late Albert's home brew. By the time the apes were beating the crap out of each other my pal was reduced to a sweating, paranoid wreck. I, on the other hand, was blissfully happy. Strange stuff. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds indeed.

The best we can do for our children regarding drugs is to be completely honest IMHO.
This means telling them the bad as well as the good,
& probably starting with caffeine & alcohol.

I think a lot of adolescents who end up with substance problems do so because of a lack of balanced information, & the effects legislation has glamorising substances in impressionable minds.

Yeah - and make them listen to White Rabbit before they encounter Alice in wonderland...

"Always struck me as a sure way to spread panic at that festival!"

Often wondered what raving in the early 90s was like (I didn't get into that until 2002)... Imagine hearing "Mr Cook's Nightmare" while tripping your bits off - not funny...

Just don't try being in a car with your mates and being pulled over and your driver arrested while you're on your first trip...

You old people think you are so cool...

I was lucky in my mid-teens when I started to be offered substances,
because a sensible experienced adult patiently explained what the different drugs do;
both the good & the bad.
This left me in no doubt about the facts & completely de-glamorised things for me.

I think David Bowie's advice to his children was good.
He compared taking recreational drugs to travelling the stars in a space ship;
it can be amazing & expand your mind,
but it can also blow up in your face & kill you.

That's a lot better than any of the education I got, and all the blatant MISinformation too. I'll never forget the mantra at A Levels; they got the whole sixth-form in and basically said "Drugs are bad mkay; you shouldn't do drugs". And that was in 1992, NOT 1932. Ridiculous.

And yet we still have this insane system where dangerous drugs are legal (booze) while far more benign drugs are prohibited. What a crock of hypocritical testicles.

I'd assumed Hoffman had died years ago.

Apparently when they did the LD50 test on LSD they killed a baby elephant with the stuff. Took 15 kilograms to do it as far as I recall. With psychoactive doses measured in the millionths of a gram...

Deane F - could you contact me at Naim? Your profile e-mail address does not work.

Remember this....?


Only vaguely and your profile notes seems to have forgotten entirely.

Could you post your new e-mail address and I will catch it, note it and delete the post.

Remember kids, interacting with the long A.R.M. of the law can result in a psychedelic crisis.
