Drugs....an interesting topic. In our pharmaceutically enhanced age, we have a wide variety of mind/body altering substances available to us. As with most of life, there are choices....thank gawd. While my drug days are past (other than the soothing effects of a fine big rock lager or a glass of red), I certainly enjoyed my time experimenting.
First illicit drug ever...mary jane....then some hash...all provided by reprobate older siblings. Alcohol never was a factor during the teen/tweenie period...didn't care for the taste in the slightest.
Best acide trip ever...or worst I suppose...but, certainly the most memorable was a wicket hit of purple microdot that had the floor waving in front of me, the music pulsing around me, and my next door neighbour Serge wondering why on earth he ever moved into the area. My reprobate siblings helped me through that mess. Acid was a bit too much of a hit and miss deal....the rumour was that some was cut with strychnine back in the day...so I did a couple ot trips, had fun, and called that one history.
Mushrooms....and interesting little ride. Pretty mellow stuff, never got too wired up on that...but, it was a nice high.
Then....came my first bout with coke. That was pretty much the end of my drug "era". Cocaine could have easily become the mind altering substance of choice. Best to turn my back on that...I know my limits.
I tried crack once with some dude I met at a sleazy pub...it was alright but...blah. Just hand me another beer and I'm good. That's what happens to old people....yanno...you get married, have a couple of kids, get all respectable and stuff. But, I gotta say, the best drug in the world was watching those little lifeforms popping out with a wail and a scream. Although, it's scary at first....I had no idea they would be purply. But, then comes the Apgar count....toes and fingers counted....and it's all good.
cheers,
eddie.
