Ah, those 20 hour psychedelic vacations! I'll never forget having to babysit a friend who inadvertently drank from the wrong canteen.

Luckily his trip was a good one, but he got too playful when I was driving another friend home and had him in the backseat. He decided that playing peek-a-boo with the driver while on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway would be fun. Mercifully, the traffic gods were with me and nothing happened.

Brooklyn Queens Expressway?

What possibly could happen at 5 MPH? :)

Heh!!! Good point. This was a loooooooooong time ago and very late at night. I was doing about 50 mph.

only people under the age of 30???? LSD was really popular in the 60's with teenagers,so there are people who are in the 50-60 range.

i think she meant people under 30 for ecstasy...

the article was kinda biased tho.

I'm 32...and I know I am part of the minority, but I don't regret even a single (seemingly year long) second of any experience. I had a borderline "bad" experience once when I wasn't all in for the "normal" activity of driving around all blahooey. My friends left me at their house, their mom came into their room and IMMEDIATELY knew what was up, and was pissed at the fact that they left me there and that they were out space driving. I was fine, I just played Starfox all night but I felt bad for my friends getting busted. I think the 20 hour thing is more like an "I wish" or a bad nightmare. I've never had an encounter longer than 10 hours. Part of my theory about drugs and stupid people was concieved while highly modified. It basically goes something like this, if you are comfortable with your mind, you are of average intelligence, and you have faith in a deity, you should probably never even CONSIDER taking psychedelics. If however you've never felt comfortable in your own mind, your conscience seems like a vice in which your thoughts and feelings are trapped, and you have doubts about the nature of a higher power (and are not afraid to look at something which you are not supposed see) LSD might be just the thing to make you realize your whole self, to find compassion for mankind, and to become aware of the frailty of exsistence. LSD is an experience that little is gained from one trip, or in a casual setting. It is a portal to a part of the mind that is locked away deep inside of us to protect us from ourselves. Stepping through this portal can be dangerous, it can be frightening, but it can be wonderful and enlightening as well. Ecstacy in comparison is a triviality, a good time with little consequence or benefit to the mind or the soul. If LSD and X were gummy candy LSD would be a sour patch kid, and X a swedish fish.

Yeah it definitely was, do they really think all lsd and ecstasy users are all gonna tell the truth on the survey? From my experience, I certainly don't think so.

i have problems with short term memory these days due to my teenage years. i have lots of goooood memories stored in the long term, though. :D

I certainly remember seeing a color that has no name and I am yet to have seen since.

What color was it?
