If I could build a time machine, I think I would go back to Haight Asbury in 1966--NOT 1967! It sounded more fun before the media caught wind of the scene

Tried LSD once, but I didn't swallow. 8-)

LSD is crap. Mushrooms are crap, I hated the mushroom experience, the only thing I gained was a slight insight into European pagan mythology as everything looked enchanted and people looked 'knomeish' but apart from the trailing lights from traffic and the feeling that I could bounce down the street because my legs felt like rubber, it wasn't fun, it was isolating and too "spiritual" and I really understood why only the "shaman" would have taken mushrooms (or maybe everyone took them once) but it wasn't about "recreation" and it wasn't something that the average person would have done on a regular basis (I'm obviously not an expert but from what I've read this is basically true). In moderation, at appropriate times smoking some weed certain other other drugs can be fun but i think avoiding opiates, benzodiazepines and meth is a very good idea and I wonder if a certain element of the sixties generation feel any guilt for encouraging the use of opiates and meth amphetamines?
