I agree Cliff,but there is an important element missing in this new generation,imho.And,it's really THE most important aspect of all when taking these types of substances.
Dance....Ritual....Sacred
Todays trippers see not from any mountaintop....they're not looking....thery're just "dancing in the pale moonlight."
:hippy:
I think that has a lot to do with the commercialization of LSD -- today's kids are getting much smaller doses than the pyche hey-day '65-'69.
I first dropped acid in '71 and it was nothing like I expected it to be, by then the dosages were much smaller, probably 50-mics. It was a lot of fun and I've had to opportunity to enjoy it a few dozen times since but acid is no longer marketed in the 250-mic range.
Probably the most acid I've ever dropped -- the most intense I've felt it -- was about 160-mics. Back in '84. It was given to me by a friend who I'd dropped off at the bus station in downtown San Francisco. I decided to park my car and fry and trip around the city. As it came on I felt real queasy and wolfed a sandwich but I couldn't keep it down blowing chunks on seedy Market St. seeking refuge and I came upon the Strand Theater which had a show at 7 it was 6-fifty-five and I didn't bother to see what movie it was I didn't care I needed the sanctuary of darkness...it turned out to be Kenneth Anger's "Magic Lantern Cycle".
Yeah, that was something to experience trippin' balls...
LSD ain't what it used to be. It isn't commercially viable in high dosages.
