I never did acid but a friend of mine did/She said she would rather be arrested for drunk driving anyday rather than take acid again. She was from Arizona and was acquitted for Marijuana possession by Sandra Day O Conner while O'Conner was still a judge. Apparently, the appropriate search warrants hadn't been issued. :>)

In college I tried shrooms once. It was at an outdoor picnic at nice state park. It changed me and the whole way I look at life and nature. I recall having sort of an outerbody experience for about 5-10 minutes where I felt that controlled this vehicle of a body. As if I was 3 feet above myself. Then I spent the next 3 hours laying in the grass with a new appreciation of how we are all connected. I studied the dirt, bugs, grass roots, trees, leaves, clouds and sky, thinking what a great world. (Sort of the way Croc lives every day.) I never dropped acid. Supposedly I tried mesc once but had so much beer in me I don't know what it was like. My friend who did it with me had a great time giggling as he used his little spark gun (that is used to remove static from records) and clicked it on my ear lobes while I snored away in a recliner chair... Daily meetings around Bruce-the-Burnout's bong table were the norm in college. Lost many a brain cell... Ate a ton of pizza. -Sparky

I keep telling you guys y'all be amateurs. Only did acid twice... in a week once, I think:>) That time, I spent the second part of a vacation rafting down the Tuolumne River. On the bus to the put-in, as we were introducing our elves to each other, one guy sez "I'll bet I'm the only one on the trip who spent last night in the Mariposa County jail. For drunk driving. But they missed my acid when they opened my wallet." Well, sir, let me tell you, the Rat's ears perked up at that one. I connected with him that evening, and he gave me a hit of blotter... A couple of daze later,it was the Dead at the Warfield; the penultimate of a 15 concert gig. The first part of the vacation were shows 1 & 2; no acid. Went with Radar. Day 14, I think 6 of us. A couple of La Honda hippies, one my first ex, and Ralph. I came up with the tickets. Unfortunately, in 2 different places. Even more unfortunate, only 2 of them were Row 2, center, and, since I got them, I got 2 chances at those seats. Ralph brought the acid. Great concerts,BTW. I think the only time I saw them do acoustic. Going in,they gave us a mimeo of Ripple, starting out, "The band would like you to sing along". Then they headed off to NYC, for another big gig. 2 albums came out of those Done it 25-50 times. Probably not in about 10 years. First time, Easter Eve, '72, and the world was never the same. Did it with my bro's old roomie and his lady, in Palo Alto. The curtains moved, the medical journals looked like cards being shuffled, I got really pissed because the locomotive in the park had a sign what said "Only 8 years old and younger." Fuck that shit :>) I was taking neurophysiology at the time. Prof had talked about how you could use one sense to override another to orient yourself to the world. Like vision and touch. OK, so some pieces of dope on the table turned into ants and started running around. No biggie. But the pencil starts undulating. Sez I to elf, "That's weird. That can't be. Override it." So I reached out and grabbed the pencil, and watched my hand and wrist start undulating. Z had made a 4 hour tape; all the usual suspect. Dead, Airplane Country Joe, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Mayall, Inna Gadda da Vida, ... Only found Mescaline once. Enjoyed it; a very warm feeling from it. Never did Peyote; didn't want to barf. Ecstasy once. Shrooms.
