Every time thereafter, you'll tri to replicate but you'll probably fail. The first time you trip, it will change your perspective of life.

... Chocolate Mesc: never said no - said maybe not.

Someone got an ounce of acid in a pharmacutical glass vial. We got a ream of construction paper, put binder holes in it meticulously penciled in squares and dropped hits. By the time we got to the pages the three of us were "tripping balls". We got $1.00 or so a hit with a lot of "samples" and if we knew you well, we'd let have the last pages where there were double and triple doses. Summer of 70. I tripped last by 80.

I don't know that with the baggage picked up from the 80s and 90s being "successful" if I want to take another trip, but I wouldn't have have missed the late 60s and 70s for the world.

Finger hash, Nepalese temple balls, black Turk hash, Afghani hash from the Blue Moon Tea Room in Kabul.

Reading pages of novels not yet written, in dayglow lettering against the warm night sky.
Oh, to be stupid, free, and 16 again!
