I tried about everything that was available back in 1968-70. I quit all but alcohol after a bad LSD experience in '70 - though I'd probably smoke a pipeload of opium right now if someone offered one. Pot made me too lazy, too. Hallucinogens were pretty neat except for that bad trip - watching the first man land on the moon on acid made it all the more, er, special! And "watching" how one's thigh muscles slide over each other from five feet above the porch swing one is swinging in is OK, too.

and am just showing signs of a six pack... I went for the keg, instead.  I forgot to mention regrets. Yes, I regret a little that I lowered my GPA by being a pothead. But overall, I was lucky enough to not get strung out on opiates, and coke was so very rare then that I never had more than a taste or two. I'm just as glad I quit - heads don't necessarily make the best parents - but no, no big regrets.

Re: I'm a big square, and I'm glad of it
I also think it is interesting that nobody has brought up the highly addictive drug nicotine yet. Oh, yeah! I smoked like a coal-fired freight train - two+ packs a day of unfiltered Camels - until the went up to $0.35 a pack, and then switched to rolling my own Bugler through grad school. That is seriously addictive crap! I quit when my oldest child brought enough propaganda home from first grade to drive home what I already knew about the health hazards. Hardly missed smoking at all after the first three years or so....

Re: What a long strange trip it was
hearing colors and seeing sounds. Like seeing every note, in Technicolor and Surround Sound, on Country Joe and the Fish's Electric Music for the Mind and Body. On an LP record, of course. "The white dove floats on past the sun..." Dammit! Very good times! Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Fixed dBase code (added that /).

"Especially F. Scott Fitzgerald, the only notable writer in your list." Me too, Dan! I'd already finished my glass of milk, but I did damn near wet my pants when I read that!

Re: more Morality nonsense.
Everything and everyone cares, Jar. The asteroid 302 Clarissa just told me she was vitally concerned about your morality, Mess. Quaoar is the only one worried about Jar's, and he's not very worried.

I was saying that drug use can negatively impact the brain permanently in adolescence.... Pally, I abused the crap out of several drugs as a (late) adolescent and went on to complete by batchelor's and PhD in chemistry. And have been making a nice living from chemistry for nearly 30 years. Don't worry yourself too much about me - or my morality, either.

Re: quick question
I've often suspected a connection between my general nonreceptivity to religion and my general apathy towards drugs. Hmm. My very best "religious experiences," quite a bit better than listening to a fantastically good organist at Easter services, were LSD- or mescaline-fueled. A "glimpse of the other" in either case. I think you have something here, Crash and Phat.
