I like LSD.

variety is the spice of life.

once, working the lighting console at a folk festival i dropped acid with this hardcore ex-KISS roadie. he freaked out, and i had to run the lights while these shimmery spears threatened me from all sides. glowsticks, you might call them. i decided that instead of using the colored chase lights during the exciting (folk) numbers, i would manually 'chase' all the color fills around the stage, playing the sliders like piano keys. yellow, green, purple, red, blue... over and over. thing is, i was too fucked-up to realize i'd shut the house mains and the front lighting off, so these poor musicians were playing basically in the dark, and while i tried (and failed) to chase the lights around the sides of the stage i was basically missing every third or forth slider, and plunging the whole set into darkness. nobody told me anything, probably because i was exuding a hardcore acid glitter and blinking back the shimmery spears. finally the performers asked me to turn all the lights off, played on stage by candlelight. thankfully this allowed the shimmery spears to take their rightful place, and i felt rightfully proud. after the concert i went up and told the band the candles had been inspired by me.

in short, i must offer a heartfelt apology to richie havens.

kudos, sir.

these were openly hostile glowsticks, chemical and unreal, let me just tell you.

run, shaker life

why is this stuff so easy (for me) to find on the east coast but not on the west coast???

max hook a bro up

it makes me verklempt

It's been way too many years :(

i'm scared

don't be scared

years ago we got our hands on some really good liquid L. so mellow and clean

I just don't think the payoff is worth waking up in a pirate ship covered in whale bones.

The first time I dropped acid (too much), it didn't get fun until a few hours in. Then I started seeing strands of red twine connecting everything from floor to ceiling in a web and could feel them on my skin when I moved. And if I lay on my side, I could see the room fill with thread - one half of one eye would get fuzzy as it filled, and when it covered my entire field of vision everything started flowing into everything else.

my brother went to bed :-/

i was still sorta tweaking on the plane the day after this

i'm scared

pure shit aint around anymore anywhere. on the real.

what do you mean by "pure shit"? purely-synthesized stuff? because adding adulterants to blotter doesn't make sense from an economic standpoint, assuming a scenario of some greedy-ass acid chemists

liquid stuff is what is around much nowadays and that can never be trusted. when on paper its either lsd or something else. with the absence of lsd chemists since the big busts in the early 2000's, paper has been pretty rare.

Pickard and Apperson

The decline in prevalence of LSD is correlated with (but not necessarily caused by) the arrest of two chemists, William Leonard Pickard, a Harvard educated organic chemist, and Clyde Apperson. According to DEA reports, black market LSD availability dropped by 95% after the two were arrested in 2000. These arrests were a result of one of the largest LSD manufacturing raids in DEA history.[74] Pickard was an alleged member of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love group that produced and sold LSD in California during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is believed he had links to other "cooks" associated with this group — an original source of the drug back in the 1960s — and his arrest may have forced other operations to cease production, leading to the large decline in street availability.

The DEA claims that these two individuals were responsible for supplying a third of the LSD in the United States and maybe the world,[75] however, the government quoted seizure amounts in connection with this case have been seriously questioned.[76]

In November of 2003, Pickard was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole, and Apperson was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment without parole, after being convicted in Federal Court of running a large scale LSD manufacturing operation out of several clandestine laboratories, including a former missile silo near Wamego, Kansas.[74]

oh, ok.

when it's on paper, though, it's pretty much lsd or nothing, though, from what i understand. if only because nothing soluble onto paper in such small amounts would have any effect. strychnine myths, etc...

i remember when those dudes got busted in 2000 who supposedly supplied the majority of lsd to the states. it was weird when i started hearing a few years ago that it was available again.

ha xpost

Yeah, I remember reading that article in the newspaper while waiting for the bus one morning en route to work, and the whole Kansas missile silo weirdness has been burned into my brain ever since...

"that article" being the bust that was carried over the wires.

Have you guys ever read any interviews with Owsley? wtf

He keeps up with the music scene -- he singles out Wolfmother and the Arctic Monkeys as new bands he likes.

gel tabs used to nice

I had a psychotic reaction to lsd in 1998.

I once saw Owsley talking to Sen. John Kerry backstage at a Dead show at the Garden circa 1991

Boston Garden, that is

Stanley believes that the natural human diet is a totally carnivorous one, thus making it a zero-carb diet, and that all vegetables are toxic.[1]. He claims to have eaten almost nothing but meat, eggs, butter and cheese since 1959 and that he believes his body has not aged as much as the bodies of those who eat a more "normal" diet. He is convinced that insulin, released by the pancreas when carbohydrates are ingested, is the cause of much damage to human tissue and that diabetes mellitus is caused by the ingestion of carbohydrates.

I'm glad I got to see the Celtics once in the old garden :)

whoa

there's a lot going on there in that end sequence, and i didn't even locate the egg salad sandwich

is that the superjail guy or no

this is the one drug that the door's shut on me ever taking it again. don't feel like a 50-y.o. father of two brain would be a reliable partner with acid

yeah, for your kids' sake you're definitely better off limiting yourself to softer shit like krokodil and weed

so hard to get good krokodil these days

I know a guy but he's a bit flakey

lol

never had the opportunity to try lsd in my younger days despite really wanting to

pretty sure it'd be a bad idea to start tripping at age 37, tho

dude, JCLC, a little bit of mushrooms will set you right. no stress/no mess. nature's quicker picker upper. and you're good to go in the morning.

I'm giving you all the green light to drop acid, so long as you have the free time to ride it out. What's the worst that can happen? You feel a little crazy for a while and then eventually get back to feeling normal? I mean, it took the Manson family months of daily acid trips before they ended up going on a mass murder spree.

wtf is krokodil

i've never dropped acid and have no kids, if anyone wd like to guide me through one weekend.
