Lots and lots of it. <br /><br />I remember back in my Navy days the seminars we had about illegal drugs and how to handle the problems with the new enlistees. How bad this stuff was and all that. Then it was off to Happy Hour.....joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16266375123411463390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-7262956643377652892012-03-13T16:45:39.323-06:002012-03-13T16:45:39.323-06:00I'm of the school that it's more of a food...I'm of the school that it's more of a food than a drug.<br /><br />Alcohol started off as a very versatile substance and then for a short period in American history, it was made illegal via Prohibition... that didnt work because the stuff went underground and many were killed and the government lost their battle, caved or gave in, and made it legal again.<br /><br />Alcohol purists?

I get to celebrate Happy Saint Me Day by taking a work certification.<br /><br />Acid was a nice ride if you had 12 + hours to kill... preferably in the dark hours.<br /><br />The stuff dilates your pupils something fierce. <br /><br />When I had my first trip I was at a party minding my own business and some guy named Curt said stick out your tongue and he placed this tab on it and said have fun.<br /><br />The buzz didn't hit me for about 30 minutes. I started to feel a weird buzz and the party was ending so I got into my Monte Carlo and headed back to the apt were my parents and I lived.<br /><br />When I started to drive off, I felt fine... sort of sharp actually... and I turned on my stereo. I Forgot I had put new front speakers in and it tripped my head off. It sounded good. I took the long way home because I dreaded seeing my folks at 2 in the am.<br /><br />I get there... sneak in... and nobody's home!<br /><br />I GOT THE PAD TO MYSELF!<br /><br />So I goes to my room and crank up the Black Sabbath. Everything is mighty cool...except I look on the ceiling... and there's this huge wolf spider. I move right ... and it moves right. I move left... and it moves left.<br /><br />I think... I must just be trippin'. So I grab a sword from my wall... pull back the blade and aim it like a slingshot... and Thwang! I chopped that thing right in half.<br /><br />Great trip.McGowdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866948381728741656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-53845966647108477222012-03-12T21:05:03.180-06:002012-03-12T21:05:03.180-06:00There is and has been so much drug use among AA me...There is and has been so much drug use among AA members that I (an old-fashioned alcoholic) feel really out of place in many or most groups.<br />That's the way things are going, I guess. Out with the old and in with the new....<br />Only a lunatic would prescribe or take LSD as a "cure" for alcoholism. I met the "father" of LSD, Dr. Timothy Leary at the University of Rochester when he gave a speech there in the early 80s. A good man who genuinely liked his audience of young people, but also a man who clearly showed the damage that acid can do.<br />I don't think that there is any easy or quick cure for alcoholism. Just bite the bullet and hang on for dear life!<br />Happy St. Pat's day to all you Irish, if I don't get back before then!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-74615669842493866432012-03-12T18:06:03.173-06:002012-03-12T18:06:03.173-06:00Raise your hand if you've ever used drugs to t...Raise your hand if you've ever used drugs to try to moderate your drinking or to stay stopped... satisfy the obsession.<br /><br />I for one did. During those times I dont think I ever became an addict, though I was becoming a social weed user.<br /><br />I was very careful with my ingestion of acid, shrooms, and coke or crank... unless I was doing those along with drinking... then I merely used them to keep the drunk going.McGowdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866948381728741656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-89177860041499201292012-03-12T17:29:56.380-06:002012-03-12T17:29:56.380-06:00First medical marijuana and now this.

Again, if only the substances were the problem then abstaining from them would be the cure. But i could imagine that a dry alcoholic with no spiritual life could benefit from acid to remedy the restless, irritable, discontented state.Colterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17394584466042799024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-86319287517352326802012-03-11T21:07:46.052-06:002012-03-11T21:07:46.052-06:00Oh, and the fucking trails!Oh, and the fucking trails!McGowdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866948381728741656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-67794589259039557612012-03-11T18:48:17.333-06:002012-03-11T18:48:17.333-06:00I put it up mostly for shits and giggles.
