Shroomerites who used psychedelics in the 60s and 70s: Tell us your stories!
    #23461460 - 07/21/16 02:27 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I'm always fascinated when other members mention that they were around during the original psychedelic movement of the 60s and 70s. It's incredibly cool to me that the shroomery has this direct connection with the original psychedelic movement. I've always wanted to hear more when people mention they were around then, so I decided to make this thread.

Tell us your stories!

How did you first get introduced to psychedelics? What was the psychedelic scene like back then? What kinds of stories can you tell us about the "good old days?"

Bumping this now that more people are online. Any of you guys around in the psychedelic scene in the 60s and 70s care to share your stories?

All stories welcome! :sunny:

I already told mine about freaking out on white microdot acid.  It's on Erowid, will repost the link if anyone interested.

In 1969, I came home and found my sister tripping balls, her boyfriend was fucking with her head, she had taken the original Purple Haze--the real deal.

Actually, it was december 1970, right after I started taking acid.  January 1972 I got busted, and I didn't trip in december 1971.

By the way, this trip was the real deal.

That's a great trip report. 450ug per hit! That's crazy! I can't believe people were taking two or more of those.

Was dosing that high common back in the day?

ti

People weren't taking two hits.  I took two because I thought they were like the standard 100ug white lightnings we were getting.

Everyone I knew who took one had a mind blower.  I know some people went to the hospital on 1/2's.  The thing is, the come up was the greatest fucking experience I ever had.

That fucking peak, man.  I just couldn't handle that shit.  I wasn't expecting it.

Fucking visuals I remember well:  Orange coils bouncing on the ground, colors running out of walls, freakin' pages of the phone book flying around in the phone booth!

And my only thought during that peak was, fuck, I am dying, and I'm never coming back. It was complete ego-death.

Star fire, for some reason I thought you were in your 30s.

I have a suspicion my dad used psychedelics in the late 70s, but I'm not sure. I'd love to hear whatever stories he may or may not have had from those days :lol:

My grandparents on my mom's side were in their early 20s throughout the late 60s and neither one touched drugs or participated in the counterculture in any way.

You are only as old as you feel. 

Strangely, the most appropriate time to trip seems to be LATER in life.  It is easier to handle with better outcomes and more perspective.

I'm looking at getting a 20" cutting of bridge in the mail right now.  Chew that sucker up with a root-beer wash--that should do 'er. 

by the way, one of my favorite early 70's acids was 'Windowpane' or 'Clearlight'

They were usually about the same strength, I would estimate one windowpane--it was a little square of gelatin--was about 200ug.  Trip nuts, but just at the edge of being insane. 

Not like that microdot, that shit was fucking nuts. Mr natural was a 4 square 4x55ug hit--one 4x55ug (220ug) was a real head fucker. Some other good ones 'Orange Barrel (ALD-25) don't know the strength but the trip was a bit adrenalin-focused to much for my liking.

Orange Sunshine varied in intensity.  Then there were a lot of other ones that were like, probably 25~50ug a tab, the only ones I know you could count on were microdot, white lighting--maybe 100ug tab--mr. natural and windowpane.  \


But like I said my sister took Purple Haze, she was really fucking freakin' i imagine that shit was probably a good 200ug or more.

Strongest trip I had was in the late 90's back pre-Pickard bust

3 hits of wow

I really underestimate that shit. I was like, one and a half wasn't shit...I could easily pop 3.

Those 3 hits completely obliterated me. I had the fear, man. Like the fear Dr. Gonzo was talking about in Fear & Loathing.

I could barely fucking function. I felt like I was melting into a damn puddle or some shit.

I didn't start dosing until the '90s, but I have eaten ten and twenty strips of WoW, dozens of times. I think the trick is working your way up.
I ate four my first time, flipped me a bit, couldn't sleep right, couldn't yawn right, for months after. I ate an eighth of mushrooms and it  kind of smoothed things out a bit. Then I worked my way up to a ten strip without tolerance.

My first tenner was this sickly strong paper that had been something sweet from the west coast. They had obviously laid more crystal than normal, because the paper was tinted with the color of the crystals they had used. (Not gonna say which.) But you could taste it from the tip of the tongue to the back of the throat. Sick strong. I had eight of the same stuff the previous weekend, and had a good time and of course what I thought was a full blown experience. But the wall was still there. It was obliterated with the ten. I experience what is termed in the Tibetan book of the Dead the "Clear Light" for about two hours, in silence.

Coming back into routine visuals and whatnot, I got a glass of water, and felt as if I had walked or flown millions of miles.

The people producing those orange barrels got busted and said they were producing ALD-52 as an excuse to get away with their production because ALD-52 was legal at the time while LSD was illegal. They wound up still getting in trouble because you need LSD first in order to make ALD

Years down the line the producer, Nick Sand, admitted that they were in fact LSD and not ALD-52




Also, ALD-52 is shown in lab studies to be less adrenaline-focused than LSD which makes even less sense for you to not like it because of too much adrenaline. What happened was the orange barrels were really strong acid and you got a big adrenaline rush from being super spun out & associated it with the orange barrels being something other than LSD


There's also the off-hand chance you were taking DOM (known as STP back then) which would make more sense for the trips being too adrenaline-focused. Altho DOM usually came in wedges instead of barrels. If the orange pills you took lasted a lot longer than normal acid and were very adrenic then it was probably DOM. Otherwise it was likely just plain old LSD

Well, whatever was in those orange barrels was truly fucking wicked, because one thing I can be certain of.  i took one of them and I was fucked up.
