Actual mescaline was in my opinion the best tripping agent
Less frenetic than Sidney and more colorful and fluid.
Sidney could drag on....and there is good acid and then there is bad acid....not always brown
We had a contact through a guy whose brother was in Quicksilver in some capacity and worked with Nick Sand who made Orange Sunshine which was top shelf like Owsley and Scullys stuff
Then windowpane and blotters ..
I had two friends very bright who crafted some at Millsaps college in 1974....preppie hippies and we all dosed to try it out and man it was pure as hell thankfully but rocket fuel micrograms .....I’d wager north of 1000 mikes or 3-4 times normal orbit octane
We held on tight for about 12 hours and all went though a serious climb peak and come down phase
I remember our girlfriends who did not trip...not many girls did then..showed up and we all ran not wanting them to see us so pie eyed
Mushrooms were over much faster which I liked plus I felt they were more natural.....
Coincidentally I’m listening to Dark Star as I type...isn’t that funny
And I’m so old now....
Yep. Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long.
