Don't get me wrong, I like drugs,maybe not as much as I used to, and I appreciate alcohol a lot more now than when I was younger, but I like music too, and a lot of different kinds, ya know.

Sorry Negative, but one of the main reasons for people 'tuning in and dropping out' in the 60s was lack of knowledge.
I ain't going to get all preachy here but the common psyche was totally different then.

Drug users nowadays are pumping who knows what into their system, and just cos someone is buying grass or shrooms DOES NOT make it a more 'natural' high and make it 'safer'!!
The crap that is mixed/injected/cut in with drugs nowadays would terrify you.

And don't even get me started on ecstacy........ :roll: :roll:

I work with people who have been torn apart by drug abuse and there is a common denominator in every story........it started as recreational(don't worry I do not want to start that argument I do not say the every recreational user will turn to harder stuff but retty much all the addicts I have dealt with started that way)

I tried not to preach!!! I really did!!! Just couldn't help it!!!!
Sorry :oops: :oops: :roll: :wink:

thats a stereotype brought on by media focus on the negative, no one i have ever met has had laced anything, its only those freak occurrences tht happens every once in awhile, kids nowadays smoke becuz theres all of this pressure to do something with your life even though failure is imminent, the news wont tell you tht

If you believ you are destined to fail.......you will!!! Let me ask you - is that how you feel about guitar? WHy can't playing guitar be an 'outlet'?

I'm sorry but that is spoken like a true teenager and I don't care if that sounds patronising!!

AS far as the lacing goes..........wake up man!!! Drugs is probably one of the biggest unregulated businesses in the world!!! In this time of financial crisis everything has gone up in price.....except drugs!!!! They have plummetted in price over the last 15 years!!!! How the hell does that work if the crap being bought isn't just that.....crap!!! Filled with everything from tractor oil to bleach to artificial preservatives to sodding wood chippings!!!!

I am not old enough to remember the70s when the effects of the drug revolution in the 60s hit home but I was a teenager in the late 80s/90s and there was alot of experimentation then (myself included) and I was lucky. I have 4 friends who are all 'freak occurences' and suffer from something akin to Post Traumatic Stress due to ecstacy from its heyday and I have another 3 friends I have lost along the way!!!

Don't be be taken in by the 'its all a conspiracy' BS to stop people having fun!!

1) That post was unnecessarily hostile.... what the hell man?

2) A single ecstasy pill can make your heart explode.... LSD is a hell of a lot safer than ecstasy. Nobody should even experiment with that s**t.

I won't get preachy either but as a child of the 60's and 70's it was because of B.S. from the government! ...the government was telling all of us about how marihuana and LSD was going to wreck our chromosomes and you'd have children born with birth defects. When folks found out that babies were being born just fine with no more defects than normal child births, the whole house of cards fell down! Which is why Timothy Leary ( who was working at Harvard and being paid by the US Government to conduct studies into the use of LSD ) finally thumbed his nose at Uncle Sam and said "Turn on, tune in and drop out"

I won't get into what I took and how often...let's just say I took full advantage of my generation..but I grew up just fine, went to college, have had a great professional career, was successful and soon will retire before most folks my age. And most if not all the folks I "partied" with back then, can say very similar things. None of us have turned into mass murderers or worse, become politicians! (Well one of my buddies did run for Congress..)

Of course you are including alcohol in the classification of drugs? You should be. The NIH is. It's the #1 drug of choice. And easiest to get. Having volunteered in schools I can tell you that for many of the past few years alcohol, more specifically vodka, because it is colorless and odorless and looks just like water in those bottles you see kids drinking from, has become a major problem.

Do some people get hooked on drugs? YES!
I'm not advocating drug use! Just tired of hearing nonsensical statements made by folks talking about the dangers of drugs while they run out to get a 6-pack. And a government that hasn't figured out yet how to tax pot like they did with alcohol. And won't allow the use of pot for folks going through debilitating effects of chemotherapy or glaucoma. The former of which I personally have gone through and got no relief from the half dozen prescribed drugs I was given. But because of where I live, couldn't use pot but the next state over from me allowed it for their citizens. WTF is that about?

Tell a kid to "watch a leaf grow to get high"? From my experience, they'll roll it and smoke it. Don't B.S. kids... they are way more smarter than you think. I know! I've had a few...and they all are fine, thank you.

I feel fortunate to have been born in the 50's, and to grow up in the 60's and 70's.
Duck and Cover, Sputnik, Kennedys, Beatles and Stones, Woodstock, Man on the Moon, MLK, Nam, Nixon resigns...time it was, oh what a time it was.
And as for the psychedelia? You should have been there. It was more than the drugs.

Well,kids nowadays only know about the '60s from what they see on tv and the movies and the internet...and it's been romanticized much like every nostalgic generation before it.
I was there and there were some good times,but also things like segregation,Kennedy's assasination,the Vietnam war and Kent State are no good no matter how you look back on it....here in the South you got your azz kicked and a free haircut if you wanted to be a "hippie"....same with draft dodgers,I never saw a draft card burning here in the Nashville area...they would have killed you.
Jimi Hendrix played here in Nashville and Clarksville Tn,before he went to England to hit the big time...think any white boys went to Jefferson St. to hear him,no...another good way to get your butt kicked between your shoulder blades.
Here the "establishment" went to extreme measures to keep the '60s free love and peace movement out in other areas and away from here....oh yeah we smoked pot and did the other trippy things but you had to seek out your own kind,and there weren't that many of us.....until the '70s rolled in.
Now when I see old guys with their long grey ponytails,I laugh and wonder if they had the stones to wear it that way when it was dangerous....and not accepted like it is now.
Yep the '60s...I look back on that decade with mixed emotions....but I made it...lots of guys and girls did not.

So anyway, back to music . . .

The psychedelic music revival started in the mid-90s and to some extent it's still going on. Today they call it Neo-Psychedelic. Lately, I've gotten into The Black Angels and purchased their newest album Phosphene Dream a little while back. Interestingly, lots of the newer psychedelic bands seem to have "black" in their band names -- Black Mountain, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Black Sun Ensemble, Black Moth Super Rainbow, and Black Market Karma for starters. Not sure why.

Just last week I discovered my new favorite psych band, Asteroid #4. You can check them out at http://www.myspace.com/asteroid4/music.

Christianity was my drug of choice, But I O.D. on it, then became a Mail order preacher in a traveling tent revival show. The IRS caught up with me and I ended up doing 5 years in the federal joint on tax fraud charges. I stay away from my drug of choice now (my parole officer took away my pastor credentials) and I'm drug free. Drugs can ruin your life it's true, and Religion is the Opiate of the Masses. 8)

@DHD I wasn't being stupid when I refered to Purple Microdot as I explained a few posts down from that when I wrote it I had my tongue firmly planted in my cheek As a matter of fact a few days ago I made a post about a girl I knew who fried her brain out celebrating getting the highest marks in her graduating class by taking 5 hits of acid,she is now functioning at a 6 or 7 year old level.If you were any bit at all familiar with my over 5,000 posts you'd know that I always write facetious tongue cheek comments.I bloody well don't appreciate the can't fix stupid comment as I never print anything insulting about anyone.Can you fix ignorant?
