This thread reminds me of something that happened to me when I was about 10 years old. I was out walking around some near by woods and pastures with one of my fathers long haired friends. He bent over and picked some mushrooms to show me. After pinching the stem he told me that "if they turn blue they are okay to eat." This didn't mean much to me then but I figured it out some years later.

My dad told me that he smoked massive amounts of marijuana during his Junior year; said he was high every day.
He also told me about his one experience with LSD, which involved the hands on a clock rolling backwards and a ship that came out of the T.V. and sailed around on his living room floor.

Yeah my dad went to The Dead several times, and Jefferson Airplane.
My mom I think was one of those hippies that didn't get hippies. Talking to her about drugs is almost embarassing. She'll say things like "I expiremented with marijuana in college, but I didn't see the big deal." And I asked her once if my dad had done acid (I already knew I wanted to see what she said) and she said "Well I wouldn't be suprised considering the crowd he hung out with. But he obviously didn't like it much because he didn't make a habit out of it." And from knowing my mom she was talking about being addicted to LSD. That was the day I knew to never listen to my mom about drugs.

Interesting to see I'm not alone.
I just thought it was interesting. Though I was afraid of drugs and the people who used them when I was younger, LSD always held a certain mystique. Any time I heard something somebody experienced on it (usually in print or second-hand, as I was generally not in contact with people who used drugs of any kind until much later on), it sounded absolutely fascinating, though I told myself I would never do it because it was drugs and it was scary. But by the time I began experimenting with weed I already kind of knew LSD was coming someday.
When I finally started tripping (on mushrooms rather than LSD, ironically), it felt more like an affirmation than something truly new. The experiences were completely shocking and mind-boggling to me, but at the same time it was something I felt (on some level) for my whole life had been coming. I can't help but wonder if any generation has experienced psychedelics this way since the Mesoamericans of old who grew up in civilizations where psychedelics were regarded as divine, mystical, and a rite of passage into adulthood and deeper understanding of the universe and the self. I see convergence.
What do you guys think? Am I making too big a deal out of this?

I have found that my father and I have the same reactions to drugs. I get really anxious and weird on weed. It makes my heart race, and I over analyze everything that I do or have done. Almost the exact opposite of the experience my friends explain. My sister talked to my dad about drugs and she told me how he didn't smoke weed that much because it made him depressed, and I think that was just his short way of explaining what I have felt. He also told of how he did shrooms one time and went to a beach and just chilled there and said it was a great experience. Seems like we have the same reaction to drugs, which is the reason why I shall do my very very best to never touch coke (he was an addict at one point).
My mom on the other hand was a pothead for a long time. Seems like my sister took on her characteristics.

This year my father finally kinda came out and told me about his drug use. Recently we have been getting pretty drunk together and a few years ago he found out i use mushrooms. My mom caught me drying a batch, and she simply told me "be carefull". I always thought it was because she didnt want me to poision myself or the like.
Well about 6 months ago, i was at my sisters and my folks were there, i had some bud, so i twisted up a tater and walked out on the back porch and lit it up. Seconds later the whole house seemed to walk outside, and my drunk dad was with them. At this point i was on the conner of the porch, and my sister blabs out that im smoking pot. My dad said he knew that and he usherd me over and asked me to pass it to him. Thus is the first time i have ever smoked pot with my dad. I am the youngest of four, and the ONLY one to ever smoke with him. Even at my brothers batchler party, he refused to smoke.
Anywho, a few weeks ago i was smoking and he came out and joined me, and we got to talking. Well evedently he was pretty deep into mushrooms and pot. He would get gallon bags of freeze dried mushrooms, and he an my mom would trip for days on end. One time he was at work, he was a mechanic, and he and my mom were tripping hard, so he went in with her, and his boss put him on the simplest job they had, a brake change. It took him over eight hours for a three hour job, that he didnt finish, with my mom sitting in the cornner trying to keep him and her somewhat focused. To this day my mom will not eat mushrooms, i always wonderd why, and know i know.
Another story, we were and still are somewhat on the less weathy side of life. Well back when i was still two cells, my folks would get hand me down clothes from a really good friend of theirs. Their frien had a few kids and my siblings would get there used clothes. Well, a few years passed and that friend was busted and is now serving a life sentance. I still dont beleve mt dad, but evedently, this guy had about 2,000 pounds of pot, and after he was convicted, his house was converted into the county police officers rec center. Two pools, spa, tennis court, baskeball court, ect, ect. Oh and while they are enjoying his stuff, hes serving life in jail, no parole.
Another note worth mention, they both grew up in Mass. were high school sweet hearts, and married at 20. They decided to take a road trip to california, packed all there stuff and left. Well they ran out of gas money in the colorado rockies, where the preciding events had taken place. And these arent the only tales, he wont tell me the rest. I mean he looked me dead in the eye and said, "I cant tell you any more, I wont, there are just some thing you will not be privy too." So i have no real idea how much stuff he was into, but i have a feeling, it was ALOT. He still

My mom used to smoke pot on occasion in college. She says it made her laugh uncontrolably and made her very horny.
My dad has smoked the herb his whole life and still loves it to this day. He had never even seen dank weed before I showed him my senior year of highschool. Thats because he only knew shitty drug dealers who sold crap weed and coke, which he bought in excess for a number of years. When he comes to visit I help him get some nice danks. He tried lsd his freshman year of college and says he would never take it again. He took WAY too damn much for a first time dose. He says that he basically got lost in his own neighborhood, and the houses were shrinking and growing like plant life. He helped me grow shrooms when I still lived at home (community college). He ate primordia off some of my cakes and I had to bitch him out in a nice sort of way, basically telling him why that is one of the dumbest things I have experienced in my life. He loved that super low dose though. I tripped with him one day. He is a very smart man but we did not mix well when tripping. He wanted to watch tv and had no attention span. He treated it like afew beers, or a smoking session. So I split. It was just more of the same, and that was a bit unexpected. He is a very articulate man. He just sort of became more child-like. Like his id took over as he watched this shitty comedy about cheerleaders, go figure.
As it turns out he had one hell of a trip eventually, and he knew why I left. We wont ever trip together again. His second psychedelic wind was kind of cool though, for he and myself. There is no way he could take more than 2.5 grams. He really liked it.
He LOVES salvia. He just needs a kick in the ass and a short trip to get anywhere in psychedelic space. He apparently has a really hard time with any mushroom dose above 2 grams. Thats why I wish I had not split at the 2.5 hour mark the only time we ever tripped together.

My parents were definitely not involved in the "psychedelic revolution". My mom was raised seventh-day adventist in a small town in Appalachia where no one really knew anything about psychedelic or really any other drug for that matter besides alcohol and marijuana. If you heard about someone who had tried cocaine or some kind of mind-bending hallucinogenic/psychedelic drug is was a pretty big thing, very rare did it happen.
I have reason to believe that my dad possibly used alcohol and cocaine a lot in his younger days, as he grew up in Colombia and the stuff is everywhere to be found. Heroin is everywhere there too but I doubt he dabbled in it. I don't believe that he has ever used any psychedelics, but he grew up in a region very close to the shamanic cultures of the amazonian rainforest and Peru, and knew of the people and their use of the entheogenic plants that grew there.
That's as close as my family(with the exception of myself) has gotten to psychedelics: ayahuasca. My father didn't know it specifically by name, but he knew of the shamanic brew when I spoke to him about it and exactly what it did. The drink itself and the practices of the surrounding south american natives are pretty much ignored or not taken seriously in the more populated areas,however. So he never really got close enough to it to care or experience it, that kind of stuff is like wierd magic/voodoo to the people that live in the city, and they don't really care about it or mess with it. Besides, all anyone cared about was partying and alcohol anyway where he grew up...

Last summer my parents found the beginning of my first attempt at growing mushrooms and they freaked out. They thought I was trying to grow pot and typically I would lie to spare myself the trouble, but I just decided that it's pointless to lie so I might as well tell them. I had only tripped once before that but I told them I hadn't done mushrooms before and I wanted to grow them so I knew that I wasn't buying poisonous shrooms (obviously not the complete truth). My parents were both straight edge in their younger years, neither of them ever tried pot and didn't drink until they were legal. I guess i should've told them that I had tripped once before and it was a wonderful experience, but they were so freaked out that I think that would have made things worse. They probably would have thought I was "heading down the wrong path" or something because they are completely clueless when it comes to these things. I want to tell them that I enjoy tripping and the psychedelic experience and that it can be insightful and even beneficial, but I just don't think that they will ever be able to relate. My dad's a doctor and my mom got her phd as well, they are both very intelligent people, but I don't think that they would have an open mind about this. It sucks that I have to hide it from them but I feel like I can't do anything about it. I know when I'm a father I won't mention drugs to my children, but if I ever find out about them smoking pot, or doing psychedelic drugs I will talk to them about it and be honest with my experiences with it. I wish my parents could just be open minded and hear me out, but I know that they will never accept it no matter how much I explain.

My mom once told me when I was younger that my dad had used LSD at a concert and thought he was in the sky, walking on clouds.
One day, I brought up psychedelics to my dad, and this is the response I got: "People just use that shit so that they can roll around on the floor and laugh and scream alot, then laugh it off later."
I don't really know what to make of that.
