In the 60's

[McMouse]

people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. Makes you think doesn't it?

[mccfluff]

hallucinogenics have been used for a long time dicky,

not sure i could be bothered these days but i certainly had a lot of fun :-)

[Kiki-frog]

I tried acid just the once when I was a student - greatly entertaining with spiders singing a barbershop quartet and the sky full of fireworks. I wouldn't do it again, though, and certainly wouldn't recommend it.

And I also took Prozac for a while when my mum was dying. But that was to make me normal, and not the world! As a short-term support, it did help.

Have tried a bit of hash now and again, but never acid. Probably saw the effects too often and kept well away.

[Graham-W]

First acid I took tasted suspiciously like saccharine. After waiting a couple of hours for the fireworks decided I'd been ripped off and it was, indeed, a saccharine.
Second, and final, time was at Goose Fair, Nottingham. Wow! Farrrrr out, man.

[mccfluff]

lol graham, my mate got sold oxo or something like that, he thought he was buying hash, can you imagine out faces when he brought it home and started to crumble it to make a joint...

[Graham-W]

The oxo would have been ok to go with a joint.

Porcupine Tree have an album all about an acid trip called Voyage 34, named after one of the experiments previously mentioned.

Me, I never touched nothing!

[tinkerbell23]

Spiders & a quartet LOL!!!

Ive heard all sorts.
Xx

a friend of mine had a bad trip when someone put acid in the punch at a party (she is still on medication 40 years later), so I never tried any. Regret this slightly, but there you are.

[Kiki-frog]

Tink, they were actually very good. Definitely Britain's Got Talent material.

jno, that's dreadful. Spiking drink is unforgiveable. That poor woman.

[Zacs-Master]

Who needs acid when you've got answerbank.

[tinkerbell23]

Spiking is really bad thats awful- i dont think id try it now though. Never the right time etc

Heard of someone who was seriously ill- tried to hide 10s/ 100s of them under a hat- they dissolved and went in through the skin.....not sure if thats true or not x

[Prudie]

I can't imagine why anyone would risk taking acid. I saw several student colleagues become complete mental messes as a result. Not in the slightest cool.

[gness]

Tinks.. :-) X

[nannybooby]

I have never taken so called recreational drugs ,knew too many people who did and decided it wasn't for me (control freek!!!) However did anyone see Mrs Browns Boys this weekwhen she took LSD instead of indigestion tablets ,funniest thing Ive seen in weeks.

[gness]

Control thing for me too Nanny but..... Mrs Brown is better than any happy drug. :-)

[tinkerbell23]

My friends grandparents got to their 70s and said "we aint getting any younger"

So granny got a tattoo
And grandpa smoked a joint ;0>

BRILLIANT i say. Quite right. Her grans no longer with us xx

[TOWIE]

I used to go to parties in the 70's where people were high on drugs, it used to scare the crap out of me. I've never tried drugs, never felt the need - I like to stay in control....(:o)
