Dope Dealer Days
In 1963 I took my first hit of LSD, which in a way saved my life, since it stirred in me a desire for adventure that forced me to move out of the nest and away from the Bronx. The Bronx I left is now virtually gone, save for the few ghosts that remained out of fear. Most of my old Bronx ghetto friends from the dope dealer days are now either burnt out zombies, in prison, or dead.

Dangers and Delights of Shrooms
Psilocybin mushrooms are nature's own psychedelic, more visual in their hallucinations and smoother and shorter-lasting in their effects than LSD. The principal genera of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms can be found growing wild in most parts of the world, or can be cultivated with relative ease in the home. Their possession and use aren't technically illegal in Florida based on a 1978 case, Fiske v Florida, which ruled that wild picked psilocybin mushrooms weren't illegal. The police can still arrest you, but supposedly this case can help your case.

History of LSD
“I feel like I’m part of a gathering of the most exquisite rascals of the age!” Ram Dass exclaimed at a colloquium in 1977 at the University of Santa Cruz entitled “LSD—A Generation Later,” featuring the man who discovered the king of the psychedelics himself, Dr. Albert Hofmann.

Smoking good weed is like having good sex. If you want to be more sensual, employ more of your senses. Likewise with the evil weed-you must see, smell, touch and taste, even listen (not to the marijuana—but to the dude who's trying to sell it to you)—in order to obtain the best quality.

Best Weed Processing Accessories
Every red-blooded, weed-smoking American runs into the same problem before rolling a joint or filling a pipe from a new stash: 'How am I going to clean this stuff?' Cleaning methods vary in the speed and efficiency with which they work and in the final texture of the cleaned dope. Whatever method you find best suits your desires, it is important to remember two things about grass. Firstly, you shouldn't manicure your dope until right before you're going to smoke it, because marijuana quickly loses its potency once it's cleaned. Secondly, if you're planning to use your seeds for planting, be careful that they don't get bruised in the cleaning process, since bruised seeds won't be able to germinate.

Oaxacan Marijuana
During the late 20th century, a little known weed became the preferred intoxicant of millions. Stifled considerably by a criminal setting, the flow of factual information about pot was supplanted by myth and folk tradition rather than empirical evidence. Even the underground is not without its Madison Avenue counterparts. Consequently, the bottom line for the lid buyer is that his purchase is likely to be as much hype as hemp. After all, how is someone from Colby, Kansas, supposed to know with any certainty his pot is Oaxacan, Acapulco Gold, or Michoacan or that one should be better than another? There are indeed a few general guidelines, but claims that the exact origin of the marijuana can be judged by eyeballing it or some by a ritualistic smoking technique are balderdash. An experienced smoker can, however, differentiate easily between South American, Asian, or Mexican varieties, and within those varieties there are some strains that stand out for their quality.
