Actually the Pont-St.-Esprit story is incorrect. It was proven that the poisening was due to ergot contaminated rye flour. All sick had eaten bread from the same bakery. Or nitrogen chloride which was used to illegally bleach flour.

Great article!

I had fun with acid in my punk and goth days.

No bad trips for me.

I do have friends in the ground because of drugs, but I always had a line I would never cross - never inject anything.

That rule kept me safe.

Yeah, who likes needles anyway.

Don't know if it's still there, but when I took R&R in 1968, I stayed at the Menzies Hotel in Sydney. While there I dropped one of the previously mentioned Owsley Sunshine barrels that my high school squeeze had sent to Vietnam. I recall leaving my room and 'wading' down the hall to the elevator on their blue and green carpet which approximated the look of water *oh, wow FLASHBACK!*

Kind of like this:

I wish that I had kept a record of the various venues I enjoyed under the influence. I could have filled a fairly substantial notebook *chuckle*. The ocean was always a prime spot - surfing or sailing, no scuba! Tide pools teeming with life! Disneyland was a trip with or without. Woodstock, of course, and too many rock concerts to count. Hollywood jazz clubs, or even just staying indoors. Bob Dylan was the soundtrack of my initial journey in '64 and oranges were a new a strange mystery fruit *far out*.

The effects were salubrious in youth, but I haven't partaken for maybe 30 years. I've still got a tab in the freezer (in case of the apocalypse), but I fear the effects won't mirror those felt when I was young and immortal.

Actually, there's a pretty good chance that I was blazing when my profile photo was taken . . .

. . . yeah, a good chance!

That was then, this is now, but through it all, I remained true to my core values and love of liberty . . .

A very good episode - Andrew exposes the Left's longtime agenda . . .

I like his "quotes".

I enjoy his podcast immensely - he usually echoes my own thoughts.

Hope you had a nice holiday - swim with dolphins? I used to do that daily *chuckle*, but my favorite times was when they surfed the wake of my sailboat . . .

As a sailor I can only say that this is one of the best moments of the day!

I never heard of the man, where do you see his show?

He does an online podcast - I post them all over at DiverseCity.

Thank you, I'll go check him out!
