LSD

I must have been taking that non alcoholism curing acid. I knew dealers couldn’t be trusted. In fact, I’m sure I’ve seen something similar in TJ Hooker. Although, that said, getting pissed while tripping has never struck me as the thing to do. I think the acid would cut through the drukenness and then you’d get a hangover after everything was done. Where’s the benefit in that?

That said, I must agree it is a most powerful psychoactive, for good or ill. The thing I wonder about all these people that have come a cropper is, if they’d never taken acid, would they have been susceptible to some other trigger anyway. Would they have been the ones who had a breakdown when their girlfriend left them or ended up a shambling alcoholic – you know the ones I mean. Perhaps it just happened to be acid in their case.

Any road up, I can’t see how the falling of a few can mean that the much more numerous positive, profound experiences should be discounted. Otherwise, surely, we’d say no one should go travelling – after all, you might be gang raped and beheaded in a Sydney suburb by radical Jainists. You might. Anyway, safer’s not always better, is it?

What kind of disco was it?

So, would you count your experiences with acid as positive, Ruby?
