Did you ever read "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe?
If so, what do you remember best? Have you ever done Hallucinogens? Not Ecstasy, but the real deal; LSD 25, Shrooms, Peyote?
How many different kinds of acid can you name offhand?
Like Brown Pyramid, Orange Sunshine, Windowpane, Mr. Natural, The blue liquid you put on a sugar cube via eyedropper…

Yes and yes, but the early 70s was a long time ago… and your point is?
I’ve not read this, but I’ve wanted to for a while now, ever since I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
I haven’t read it but I’m fairly sure that I lived it in 1967, when I went to the Summer Solstice celebration in San Francisco at Golden Gate Park on June 21.
We dropped some pure Sunshine acid, and listened to Big Brother and the Holding Company (including Janis Joplin) for free, man!
I was up there for 6 weeks groovin’ on the scene: it was outta sight, man! ;-p
I’ve also done mescaline, peyote, and shrooms.
The last time I did any hallucinogens was about 30 years ago, at Big Pine Creek in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains.
@ddude1116…It is a bit muddled, but a seriously good read for people who think they know what was going on back then. I thought I knew, but this was a whole new revelation. I didn’t read it until about 4 years ago!
@Brian1946 That is just too cool! Yes, that was perfect timing. You probably saw many of the people in the book including the Merry pranksters in their Day-Glo masks.
