There were always orange tabs, because they bought the pills at the local grocery, and most of the kiddie vitamin C pills were orange. The pills were the vehicle for the LSD, which obviously was in a liquid solution that had to be dribbled onto the tablets.

The purple tabs used food coloring, but very little of that was done with LSD. Mostly the purple was fake and consisted mostly of meth, with a little PCP, which was quite strong because it was purchased from veterinary supply stores as horse tranquilizers.

The demand for acid was high, and the supply of real acid was close to none, because it required a lab and considerable pharmacological skills to make. That was the reason for all the fakes. PCP was also sold as “angel dust.”

LSD can cause intense paranoia, and therefore the proverbial bad trip that this woman was evidently on.

I’m not making anything up.

I was doing mostly the same thing in the latter 60s as I’m doing right now. The difference is the night life; no more crazy stuff.

I knew one of the main suppliers of real acid in the 60s quite well, and watched him makeing the tabs numerous times. It was just a matter of using a pipette and dripping the completed solution on the tabs and letting them dry out for a day or so.

Very little of what was sold on the street as acid really was. Some of the stuff even had bella donna in it, which is why so many druggies had such vision problems.

Just curious, what did you mean by “confusing eras?”

How did a Tenn boy get tangled up with Quicksilver? They were Marin County people. Did you ever come to the Bay Area?

You don’t seem to have a knowledge of the LSD “eras”. how old were you in say, 1967 and were you involved with LSD and the LSD world in that year?

67 and 68 were the peak for acid. I spent lots of time in SF then. One of my best friends was stationed at the Presidio, and had a crash pad at Haight and Masonic from 67 to 69.

The Nixon admin cracked down hard in the summer of 69, and acid became almost nonexistant on the street. Bout everything that was sold as acid for several years was meth plus some other nasty drug. The acid that was around had been cut down from the 100-150 mikes to about 20, but 20 was enough to do the job anyway. You just had to know your pills and give them a good sniff test because of all the crud that was out there.

From 67 to 70, four of my friends died of liver failure because they wouldn’t give up on the drugs. Another one got shot from selling too much bad stuff to the same guy and they found his body in the canyon beside Fish Ranch Road just above the tunnel. His cousin went swimming stoned at lake Anza a few weeks later and broke his neck from diving off an oak tree into the lake. He spent 30 years in a wheel chair being spoon fed before he died.

Lets go back!

>> I think that dayglored probably got ripped off when he bought his acid, and is judging from that experience

I guarantee you I didn't get ripped off. :)

> He seems to be an expert on acid,...

I'm not an expert, purely amateur. But I daresay I learned a lot.

> ... did you know what orange sunshine was, or purple haze?

And blotter, and White Owsley, and windowpane, and a variety of "dots", and my particular favorite, a light green tab with dark flecks called "chocolate chip mint"... but the sealed USP ampules of pure 25, that was the good shit.

It still sounds like you were not involved with acid .

Your acid tales don’t match reality, acid heads did not go from perhaps the greatest acid of the sixties (orange sunshine) to being fooled by a meth pill and in later years maybe purple haze meant anything but for a while it meant a particular batch of acid from the guy that dayglored mentioned.

Do you even remember the authentic pure, black mollies of the 60s, not the fake stuff of 1970 and later? People were doing speed straight from the drugstores, they knew speed and they knew LSD.

Yep there are simple rules to follow to avoid this sort of thing but it seems like they didn’t know a single one of them. And GEEZ dude ditch your stash before the cops get there! *rolleyes*

By the time I was 19 I had lost 24 friends, including some short lived best friends from shootings, overdoses, suicides, murders, accidents of course and various other acts of violence and abandon, sometimes when it was a half dozen in a couple of months the pacing got a little discouraging but it was the good old days wasn't it.

A kid in the Vocational School I attended the last year of school did that at lunch one day.Walked right through the glass. I couldn’t believe anyone would want to do that at school?

Heh, thanks, but no problem, I haven't touched any of that stuff for over 30 years. It's all in the long-distant past...

These days, the occasional beer and shot of good tequila are all I need if I want a buzz.

I agree with you. :) It is only what is in your brain and I’m afraid many can’t/couldn’t handle what they find/found.

“USP lab-grade in sealed ampules”

Would that be the stuff that came liquid sealed in a bottle? Just wondering if that is what I remember too? :)
