Thank you...

That shit will destroy your nose!

 

I had a friend who was a party hard raver, I got to try a few things, but stayed away from needles and funny shaped pipes. Molly, Coke. X (once), Acid (once), weed.

 

I did acid once. It was laced with strychnine, and the visuals were amazing … especially since I went to the Art Institue of Chicago for my trip. It wa great watching the water lilies wafting in the breeze.

Brian, I finally read your reviews. I am very happy for you. Look forward to many more - all just as good.

 

I used acid a lot a few decades ago. For me, it made beautiful places, especially state and national parks even better - by far. Also watching films, just about anything. The only drawback is time to get back to normal, so use it on a weekend. I have not thought about acid in a long time. Also, it's better with someone else, do not try it the first time alone.

Hard to see (from my one experience) how anybody would want to do enough ketamine to harm the nose. It felt exactly like what it is -- livestock tranquilizer. Very unpleasant, which I scarcely ever say about a drug. (Crack was an interesting twist, in that it was not a particularly pleasant buzz -- BUT I wanted more anyway. Fascinating x-ray of the addiction mechanism in that respect.)

You used to mix wine and hash to listen to rock music through headphones. I worked especially well with concert albums. I almost felt I was there. And I had no problems working the next day.

 

Never tried crack though.

[Brian Kevin]

I remember reading/hearing that Stevie Nicks - the goddess that she is - did so much ketamine she did destroy her nose and had to have it rebuilt.

No bueno.

 

She's legendary. I love her.

Many more to come haha. I left after taking it and was on acid for a client. Was a great session. He massages me too !!!

Gasp! Gentlemen, according to previous threads, the use of "love" indicates major issues of insecurity, co-dependence, and forebodes tremendous issues ahead for what will become an untenable client-provider relationship. Consider yourselves warned! And happy holidays to you both!

Ps- you two are just sweetie pies. Thanks for the good cheer.

 

Context, people, context.

Drugs are all right in their place (and your place, and my place ) but ludes are one of three substances I tried once and immediately thought, Jesus creeping shit! Never again. The other two being crack and ketamine.

lude

A Quaalude (a tranquilizer, downer), or an abbreviation for a Honda Prelude (but only by the younger generation). Contrary to the belief of some idiots, it is not the word for crass behavior. That would be LEWD, you tools.

He took a bunch of ludes, amazed us all by his lewd behavior, and promptly passed out in the back of his buddy's Lude.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lude

 

I have been unimpressed with quaaludes since a college friend tripped and injured his leg in an elevator in the science building the last day of the semester while high on 'ludes. He was in the elevator intending to have sex. Instead he wound up on crutches during reading period and finals.

 

I can couple this story with the one about another friend who thought it would be nifty to drop acid and take a nocturnal walk through the nature preserve behind the dorm complex we lived in. I pointed out that someplace with that kind of hilly terrain was probably not the best place to walk while high on acid. (Actually, I told him he was an idiot for considering it.)

 

This was the same person who was miffed because campus security confiscated the weed he was using in a bathroom in the administration building during a student sit-in/takeover protesting proposed tuition hikes. (It was a public university, hence the concern over tuition and affordability.) He argued that the purpose of campus security was to protect students from being arrested and prosecuted for weed. Obviously he'd been smoking too much of it...

 

Other than the stories about Bill Cosby, I haven't heard anything about quaaludes since the late 70s. I don't know where he gets his supply. Unless the news reports about him have bumped up its popularity, my sense is that they are not experiencing a resurgence.

 

Based on prior responses, I may qualify as straight edge by comparison even though I smoked weed a handful of times (as in you can count them using the fingers of one hand) and support decriminalization of marijuana. Everything else I stayed away from as too risky and, in the case of acid, unnecessary. Sex, rock n' roll and other forms of music, art, books, and religious contemplation were mind-altering enough for me. And that's after reading Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test when I was eleven. (I asked for and got it as a Christmas present that year.)

To be fair. I would not have ventured into acid without a close friend convincing me and then taking it with me.

 

I can buy a plane ticket to a place I never never been (Stockholm, Zagreb, St. Peterburg, Russia), but not try drugs quite so easily.

[AdamSmith]

When I did acid (once) or mushrooms (four times) the first thing before taking them was finding a nice place to plant ourselves for the duration, or most of it. Like, in springtime, Farnham Gardens behind the Yale Divinity School (apt ).

One exception to my no hallucinogens beyond weed rule (not that I've ingested weed anytime recently) would be the use of peyote during a Native American religious ritual. But that's done in a community with long-term familiarity with its usage and a prescribed ritual for it.

IF you don't love yourself you cant love anyone else

Absolutely true. And I've struggled with the issue my entire life.

Is that to say you have, or would? I tried it one time but the buttons were too old to have any effect.

BK, I just noticed Xander is back. What's up with that?

I meant I wouldn't rule it out, not that I've partaken. I don't know how accurate it is (although it reads pretty convincingly), but there's a description of a peyote ceremony in one of Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire detective/mystery series of books. But it's not something I'd want to try on my own.

Ah. At this point we may have to settle for rereading The Doors of Perception.

Or Carlos Castaneda's books about Don Juan Matus, although they're probably fictional.

Oh my god, first one was interesting but they get repetitive and then just fatuous, was my impression. I made it through the second one and said enough.

I only read the first one. I borrowed a copy from a friend. I probably would not have read it were it not for his interest in it, though I did read a book about astral projection back in the day.

The first thing to do with changing your marketing is come visit LA!

[Brian Kevin]

I highly reccomend to you @quoththeraven and @AdamSmith to pick up Go Ask Alice. I read it a couple times a year. I really enjoy it, I am sure you wil too )

[Brian Kevin]

Palm Springs, Palm Springs -- Palm Springs!!!! I'm saving up for the tour, but while I am in Palm Spring, I plan to include LA, San Fran and a couple other places.

This whole thread is very schizoid! I think you all be trippin'! The topic is all over the place.

 

By the way, magic 'shrooms gave me my best trip ever.... 3 guys, naked, in the dark wilds of the Lower Colorado River Basin became one with nature under a full moon. Just water, desert, sky and understanding of the universe which we could not recall when the sun came up!

 

Brian, I'm happy that you are happy, lil bro!

I told you I'm regal, I get the people going

The days of my short, witty and comical posts on this forum are coming to an end. Towards the end/middle of January I will be launching my new campaign. I'm cleaning up my act. I have started my diet (R.I.P. Mexican food and Melt :'( ) and exercise routine. Time to stop cussing, getting drunk and being anti social with other escorts. I've been informed my tactics are a bit messy and with this man willing to help me put my strong foot first, I am going to listen to what he says and pray for the best!!!!!

[+ glennnn]

I'm with you. I am working out and dieting.... No wine, (sob)!!!! I intend to be the buffest, hottest 72 y o in Palm Springs in April. Let's do it!
