Before my time, I hear stories of ludes and the Acapulco Gold and some sh17 the old-timer stoners I've met over the years refer to as micro-dot (no clue wtf that is)...

In any case, glad I didn't grow up through the 60's and 70's science experiments and still have some of my brain cells :D

The old disco biscuit known as ludes.I also I remember speckled birds which was speed or uppers. The micro dot was LSD or acid. I also remember "Joe Cool" acid on a piece of blotting paper with a pic of Snoopy as Joe Cool.

Just one time I said "I'm not going back in there man, the curtains are trying to eat me".
And I have to hear about it every reunion.

Yeah I remember years after the real deal when they came out with that fake stuff. It got to where you could buy that caffeine junk right next to the black and milds at the gas station. I remember seeing that stuff and laughing my tail off.

The real deal well, you would be up for at least 24 hours. The first time I had seen it was while working 3rd shift in a cotton mill at the age of 18. It was a 60+ year old lady that gave it to me because I was having a hard time staying awake. She got hooked on it from her husband who was an old school trucker. I stayed up that night, all day the next, and again on 3rd the next night. I found out then a speed freak I was not. I would stick to coffee or the fake chit from that point forward. Ended up becoming a coffee addict because of seeing to many friends taking to much of the caffeine pill junk and having chest pains.

Did anyone actually watch the episode???

Does no one else find spraying a Quaalude mist over a public gathering or protest for crowd control disturbing???

Especially coming from the same guberment that supported Apartheid.

Just glad the US guberment hasn't made abalone illegal yet because it has a high likelihood for abuse, thus making the inlays in my pool cue illegal.

Come on man, nobody RTFA... but I do find it fascinating you're using ludes for inlays.
