So,...I'm fucked up,..and watching a Bill Hicks' documentary and recall a long forgotten acid trip.

[ohiosmith]

1966 and I'm driving back to Columbus from Hollywood with a load of PEZ. I knew a chemist at UCLA that dosed PEZ tabs with LSD. I was taking back about a hundred hits. I'd been stoned for a couple of weeks straight. Got pulled over outside of Phoenix for speeding. Not sure if it was PPD or AHP. I had to follow the cop into Phoenix to pay he fine. When I was searched at the court house they took my Donald Duck dispenser. When I was released the cop that busted me asked why I had so many PEZ packages in the glove box. I told him that you couldn't get lemon in Columbus. I offered him one from my dispenser and he and I each took one.

I hope he saw what I saw.

1. OMG!

You are lucky that you didn't wind up busted. Man.

I do love Bill Hicks. Very funny guy, super talented, always went right for the juglar vein when making his point. R.I.P. Bill...you are missed.

2. I'll remain quiet about dosing a man with a badge, a car and a gun with acid...

... but one of the funniest episodes ever of Barney Miller was when Wojo brought
in a tray of brownies made by his new hippie GF. He had no clue they were loaded
with hash.
.
Perhaps the funniest line ever uttered by Jack Soo, the Asian actor with the usually
most deadpan delivery in the world, was in that show. He was cleaning his gun and
stopped suddenly and started laughing hysterically
.
"Hey fellas," he said. "Let's go down to the beach and shoot some clams."

7. Thats gotta be one of the best episodes.

Too bad they didn't show Fish jumping 12' from rooftop to rooftop.

3. OH SHIT that's cruel!!! Reminds me of the cop in "Up In Smoke".

"So, wadda you guys want? Can I have a bite of your hot dog?"

"Sure, man, take the whole thing."

5. Yeah, giving unsuspecting people acid is not a good thing

Though it's funny in concept, it can have bad consequences in real life.

During the 70s I worked a short period at Workmen's Comp. My main task was to set up files for claims that had not gone through the normal route - if the employers had not filed the paperwork or if it needed special handling.

One of the sets of files I had to create was for several employees at a yacht sales place in West Palm Beach. It was the only file I ever handled that had a police report attached. An unknown person had left a cake in the break room. The best guess the cops had was that it was laced heavily with LSD. About half of the employees ended going to the hospital that day.

At the point I set up the files, a month or more after the incident, four of the salesmen were still hospitalized in a psychiatric facility. They were just not mentally prepared for the experiences they had under the influence of a drug they did not know they were taking.

6. If all four were still affected more than a month after exposure I doubt that acid is the culprit.

Some individuals may have occasional flash backs for weeks or months but four is highly improbable regardless af the circumstances of ingestion. I wonder if the cake was tested for mycotoxins which can cause long term psychosis, or if the police blamed acid out of ignorance.

[MiddleFingerMom]

9. Agreed.

10. The four most affected were the oldest

One of the medical reports speculated that they may have had pre-existing mental problems that were aggravated by whatever drug was in the cake. I don't remember that conditions were called psychosis, just that the men needed treatment and were not able to go home.

11. In high school one of the guys slipped a mickie of some sort in another guy's beer.

He admitted to it and from that moment on was an outcast to our entire group. You just don't do shit like that.

12. Happened to me in college during the 80's . . .

Luckily the 'friends' who did this kept me in their apartment and didn't let me wander off.

I know a lot of people find it an enjoyable experience, but for me, it was really horrible. I remember watching an episode of the Little Rascals on tv . . . it seemed like the show was put on fast forward, rewind, slow motion . . . I had no concept of time or space. When I would try to focus on some particular object, it seemed to fly toward and then recede way back in the distance. I didn't enjoy it at all.

I was so freaked out by the experience that I wouldn't even take a sip of alcohol for several months. Definitely not a cool thing to do to an unsuspecting person.
