Between this thread and the Mushroom thread there is something to be learned.

 

Single-time or limited casual use of psychedelics in a safe environment can be a good thing.

 

Over-use of heavy psychedelics is not healthy for the old think-muscle.

 

correct

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like,

It's got a basket, a bell that rings

and things to make it look good

I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

 

You're the kind of girl that fits into my world

I'll give you anything everything if you want things.

Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac had a long period of being a recluse after becoming an acid casualty and IIRC Roky Erickson did also.

Oh cmon, hippies have assured me that LSD doesn't REALLY do any serious harm to one's health. And they are some smart mo fos.

 

Well time to mooch money off of strangers so I can catch the next Grateful Dead tour.

I was a hippie, and I knew a lot of hippies, and I don't know anyone who would ever say that repeated prolonged use of LSD won't affect your head.

 

See here for what people are really telling you, but you're not hearing.

Barrett, Green and Erickson were tripping out on three or four dots at a time, followed by more. This was hardly recreational use.

From the London Daily Telegraph's extremely long obituary:

"If Syd was innovative at anything it was getting completely and totally out of it," said The Who's Pete Townshend. "Syd was able to get away with it because he could count on most of the audience being totally out of their brains as well."
:D
