I started with hallucinogens recreationally when I was 14 in 1967 and continued on and off till I was 28 or so. But I never was into intense partying. My experiences were usually alone, or in small groups with an occasional concert. I was lucky to always use Magic Mushrooms that we just picked fresh. I had a friend that was a botanist that helped us with identification. My most spiritual experiences, and by far most favorite were with mushrooms and once with mescaline. Connections to the natural world and to the people I was with became strong and positive and enduring. I think all of my experiences have helped me see connections (I can connect the dots on many levels) and to believe in the power of the mind. I am passionate about life, family, work but I am calm and know that the little things are the little things. But I was so young it could be I am who I am and these experiences had no bearing on who I am now. I don't believe that but I am open to that possibility. I had one bad trip on acid. It was snowing so when I closed my eyes everything was white. I was bored for 6 hours. So not a horrible experience just a waste of time. I will say that I was lucky to experience Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Uriah Heap, Ted Nugent, Jethro Tull, Bob Seger and others live on hallucinogens. And doing acid and listening to firesign theater albums was pretty cool. To this day Pink Floyd is a go to comfort band for me.
