I ate a whole eighth one time and figured out the meaning of our entire exsistence, from the gegining of time till the end. But then I forgot it.
Used to work at the Yellow Sub in Boulder. One night we all took boomers and cranked the tunes, drank 3.2 beer behind the counter, and made a bowl outta a toilet paper roll. That night went on and on and on.....
We used to go to these raves in Fitchburg, MA. At first they would only allow unopened cigarette packs so there was no chance of sneeking drugs in them. Then they decided after a while to confiscate all cigarettes at the door and then distibute the cigs out in a smoking tent. I didn't think it was a good idea...
My friend and I ate 2 doublestack rolls each and proceded to said smoking tent. We got asked if we wanted menthol or non-menthol. We both decided on the non-menthol. 3 or so minutes later we were both freaking the fuck out. I don't know if it was dust in the air, or in our smokes but we got fucked, and it wasn't the E. 4 people dropped at the party due to ODing and that never happened at any of the parties prior. You know, when people actually knew what they were smoking and whatnot.
The people who ran that shit were idiots. You are taking cigarettes away from people who probably lace them with drugs and redistribute them to anyone unknowing of what they could be smoking.
One of the scariest nights of my life. That was the last rave I ever went to.
low dose - I'd be much more confident taking lsd than mushrooms and trying to play a sport/do something productive. I think there's an added degree of control with acid that can be difficult to find even on a small amount of mushrooms.
high dose - no way, unless your job description is "human puddle"
i had good experiences with acid until i found out i was probably only taking an actual half a dose. One time a buddy of mine got his hands on liquid acid. We just put one drop on our tounges and i was fricking high for a good 12 hours straight. I didnt think i was ever going to come off the shit. That scared the shit outta me and i never did it again. I ate cubenzo's a few times. I seemed to be able to control how high i got with those. You could just take a little bite and get a buzz. Take another bit, get a little higher, etc. Like acid, i made a mistake and drank some mushroom tea. Once again, higher than a friggin kite again but only for like 4 hours. I didnt like the hollucianting much, i liked the body high they both gave. needless to say, i was done with hallucinigens after that, hehe. I stuck to weed, beer and coco.
The Great Purple Wave of 2007 is currently cresting over the greater Boulder County area.
Like 24-hour time release style........batten down the hatches and guard the entrance for robots.
Doc Ellis was good with LSD and work:

Thanks to Michael Horowitz of Flashback Books for providing this information which was printed in Lysergic World San Francisco, April 16-19, 1993
Los Angeles, April 8, 1984- Former Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher Dock Ellis says he was under the influence of LSD when he pitched a 1970 no-hitter against the San Diego Padres.
Ellis, now co-ordinator of an anti drug program in Los Angeles, said he didn't know until six hours before his June 12, 1970 no hitter that he was going to pitch.
"I was in Los Angeles, and the team was playing in San Diego , but I didn't know it. I had taken LSD..... I thought it was an off-day, that's how come I had it in me. I took the LSD at noon. At 1pm, his girlfriend and trip partner looked at the paper and said, "Dock, you're pitching today!"
"That's when it was $9.50 to fly to San Diego. She got me to the airport at 3:30. I got there at 4:30, and the game started at 6:05pm. It was a twi-night doubleheader.
I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria.
I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times.
The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."
The Pirates won the game, 2-0, although Ellis walked eight batters. It was the highpoint in the baseball career of one of the finer pitchers of his time, and arguably,one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports.
My buddies and I took boomers during the final set at IT; when those fireworks went off... Holy shit! Anyway we ended up wandering around aimlessly and my buddy went to drop a deuce. Only he got stuck in the porta john for a good 20 minutes. He said he was planning on sleeping there for the night because he forgot where he was.

my favorite thing to do pull up when my friends are on shrooms
I was speaking only in terms of smaller/threshold doses.
1-2 hits vs 1.5-2.5g of mushrooms.
I've found that at lower dosage lsd is just sort of in the background doing its thing, you can still interact with people and do YOUR thing. Mushrooms tend to take over, or at least fight hard to take over even at low doses.
Your millage may vary obviously.
At higher doses I wouldn't dare compare the two, apples and rocketships.
or, candy flipping (e x lsd)- that tab isn't really working, lemme take two more. shit, this is how lake champlain must've looked in the jurassic era.
Or special brownies.
The only thing worse than "This isn't working, let's take some more"
Is the 2am decision:
"Fuck it, wanna just eat the rest?"
If these are "Low Dose/Threshold" dosages for you then your dealer needs slapping. 2 hits of windowpane or 2.5g of Psilocybin should wreck you. Completely.
Other than that I actually agree with you - the hardest I've ever tripped was on shrooms. Nice not to have that oh-so-common strychnine clench either.
Years ago a buddy of ours hooked us with some liquid on sugarcubes. He told us that is was 'LSD-25' and the more we took the better it got. My friend Matt and I each took 2 cubes only to find out later (much later) that they were triple dosed, so we ended up taking 6 hits each. Holy shit; liquid vision and laying around in the dirt for hours, unable to move, hardly able to breath.:eek:
"Low dose" was a relative term. I was also talking in modern hits.
1999 - 1 hit is NOT a low dose.
2007 - 1 hit is enough to make getting stoned a little weird...
I was foolish to try putting an actual # to what I feel is threshold/low dose but if you got out of the game 5+ years ago...things have gone drastically down hill since then.
I wish there was a legal market where reducing potency by 75% and increasing price by 500% was a valid strategy.
Hardest I have tripped was on lsd. A lot of lsd. But mushrooms have a way of getting all over me even at low doses that makes it difficult to enjoy myself.
Edit: "oh-so-common strychnine clench"
Please be joking or hit up erowid, that's the kind of talk that DARE relies on.
:eek: Geez, I better go through my old stash box & make sure it's empty. If this is the kind of "dosage" these younguns are into it would kill 'em if they found some of the "old" Green/Red Dragon or whatever else might be hidin around.
It was very very common in blotter acid back in the day, especially the stuff you'd get in the Traveling Circus at Dead shows.... long before 1999 I'm sorry to say. If you found yourself clenching your teeth you assumed it had been cut with strychnine. Unfortunately beggars couldn't afford to be choosers, so you just dealt.
Edit: Wow. Talk about being absolutely certain of something for 20 years that you now find is flat out wrong:That sucks about the potency. Pot went the other way (waaaaaay stronger now than in the 80's,) so I assumed Acid would at least stay constant. I don't see how you could lower the natural chemical content of mushrooms...?Quote:
Strychnine is not the cause of tracers, cramps, nausea, or amphetamine-like LSD-effects. Its possible that poorly synthesized LSD might have other ergot derivatives in it, which might contribute to the harsh body load that some get on taking LSD. Also, the very close chemical relatives 1-Methyl-LSD and 1-Acetyl-LSD (which break down into LSD in aqueous solution) might be present in some street samples and might contribute to the harsh body load...
thanks Tipp, I learned something new today.;)
You & me both. Wow - that's two things I learned today!
too much drugs: once smoked angel dust (or somethin) by accident. thought it was just really good weed at first, then didn't like it. a nice girl i knew calmed me down.
deepest shroom revelation: somewhere in the wilds of northern maine on a long solo canoe trip, spinning around while holding a fishing pole, looking at the red and white bobber, noticing how the white half always faced me just like the moon orbiting the earth, comprehending the enourmous amount of time the moon has been orbiting the earth, and how during this time all of life had evolved.
acid at work sorta: tripping with some dudes in the army in korea and trying not to laugh cause the army seems way too serious when you're on acid. :p
I once accidentally took 30 hits or so of liquid, in London, at a dead show.
I became entirely convinced that the whole Europe tour was put on by the US feds in order to bust every single dead-head at customs. I also saw Van Morrison and Satan fighting for Jesus' soul on the tube...they were at every station platform from wembley to Westbourne Grove. I don't know who won.
I also became convinced that the girl I was with literally had two faces.
And there was a calvary funeral at 6AM, with dozens of horses, trumpets (I think) and a casket on a guerney.
It was very clean acid. (I don't believe great LSD has been made since about 1990, everything since then is pretty much fake or something else)
For the next installment I will discuss my horribly bad trip at Saratoga Springs in 85'. I lost my marbles for a few weeks on that one.
Or mushrooms at a Yes show in boulder in 85. I ended up making friends with a skunk, and hiding behind rocks naked in Flatiron Park, holding only a bible and a comic book.
What was this thread about?
"Drugs: Never stop learning"
Think this would be a good add campaign? :)
Mushrooms shouldn't change over the years, different strains will have different potencies though.
Edit: We all need to party with rideit!
shrooms are fun, dont take too much at one time
ganja has gotten a shit load stronger(even since i can remember), especially in states where it is somewhat legal to grow
judging by my school, coke is making a huge comeback
hmmm brings back memories of days of old.. europe '90 rideit? damn!
once in 1992 i scored some very nice paper in san francisco.. pink sperm print.. was clean and still wet when i bot it. i ate 2 hits on a plane ride to las vegas. culminated in me with quarter eyes seeing pattern after pattern and an out of body experience in the airport listening to the slot machines.. it was one FAR out trip for sure.. no regrets!
any more good old time dead stories?
The one thing I learned from this thread so far:
I totally missed out on the real acid.:nonono2:
but...I have acquired an ounce of Salvia Divinorum leaves, 1.1g 6x Salvia Divinorum extract, and 1.1g 20x Salvia Divinorum extract. Should be an interesting time.
Full TR to follow. :eek:
Europe '90 was my last tour...(I had done a shitload before then, 175~ or so shows between '81 and '91)
I have lots of stories...in a weird way, I kinda wish forums like this existed then...I have forgotten more great times than I remember...BUT, I am glad a LOT of it has been put in the permanent recycle bin!
I was a taper, carrying around tons of pricey gear, so getting lit properly was a very rare experience. We considered ourselves 'professional' deadheads, capturing the show in the finest manner possible, whether kosher or not, was THE goal.
I rarely if ever even smoked, let alone dabbled in serious drugs during a show...Hell, one had to calibrate the omni sensitivity and pre-amp modes, DAT performance VS. D5 analog, X/Y mic orientation, clip levels, etc, as well as look out for crazy-ass expensive gear...silly anal retentive shit, which, Ironically, has pretty much all been surpassed by the releases by Dave Ganz and the Vaults.
Even more Ironic is that I haven't given a rat's ass about GD music since before I quit,
(use 89' as a good 'I don't give a shit anymore' year.)
I did really enjoy taping LOTS of other bands all over the world, however.
My tape of Red Hot Chili Peppers in '88,London, with Hillel Abel absent due to obvious overdose is a remarkable example.
Or Eric Clapton with Mark Knopfler, at Royal Albert Hall, from the first mezzanine box (I bribed the owners of the box with a copy) are some good memories...all done with killer gear.
Sadly, I have lost a few of these Gems over the years, moving like the gypsy that I was...
In high school we had shroom parties on several occasions. At one in Jensen Beach (Fl) I watched a large black man fall down backwards mid-pee. Funniest shit i ever saw cuz he just laid there laughing while he pissed hisself. A few minutes later I sat talking to a frog stuck to the bathroom window. After the party a number of us decided to walk to a friends house in Stuart. The route we took was 3 miles through the Savannahs (read palmetto forest and swamp). Because of the dense brush I carried a girl in my arms the entire way. For some reason, it didn't seem to matter. When we got there we went swimming and the one thing I still remember vividly is watching the waves traverse through the pool with the only light being the one coming from underwater. We always made tea from mushrooms we gathered in an area we called Alice in Wonderland. It was a wooded pasture that always had an especially green look to it.
Good times..
The tape got lost along the way somewhere. I also lost the Chili Pepper tape...I do have shittons of others, though.
