Dock Ellis....
I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters, and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes, I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me.

Yeah there is plenty still around, but over the last 4 decades the quality has really suffered overall. It's also fairly easy to synthesize from the Rye Ergot straight to LSA before being refined. You can go find an old hippie or go to the silk road market place online(which is actually fairly secure), the problem is strength.... which is tested in microns, I usually secure a dosage per hit of about 210-260 microns and enjoy 3-6 hits total. But for someone who hasn't taken it they should start low and increase in small increments.

LSD actually does great things for the mind in those with great mental strength, by literally expanding what one can perceive and do... it all comes down to Neurons and the inability for most to use the brain to its full potential!

Dude, I think I need to go back to college after reading this.

I might get my hand on Chocolate shroom bars. Patiently waiting too see if this guy comes thru. Want to do some camping soon so that could be a real fun trip! Literally!

very true, you can re-wire yourself and whole set of morals, beliefs and way of life . on the flipside there is always the urban legends where people belive they're oranges or other fruits, whatever and have permently fawked themselves up.

One time I took acid years ago before I went out drinking. I ended up getting in a wild fistfight in the snow outside of this bar. I gotta say fighting on acid was awesome.

It doesn't compare to taking LSD while pitching but figured i'd add this party/no hitter story here:

I remember reading about earl wilson of the boston red sox in Howie carr's book "hitman". Earl wilson wasn't scheduled to pitch for the sox the next day, so he decided to go out and party. he winds up I believe in johnnie martorano's nighclub Basin South. so wilson and one of the boston underworld's most notorious hitmen wind up partying all night. later, martorano, wilson and co are all sleeping it off when wilson gets a call from the sox. he has to pitch the first game of a double header. he wakes up martorano and gets him to drive him to fenway. martorano had to lean wilson up against a wall and ring the doorbell. he then took off so he didn't have to explain why the sox starting pitcher was wrecked. Knowing wilson was in this kind of condition, martorano went out and put all the money he could muster on the sox opponent (can't remember who). wilson then proceeds to toss a no hitter and Johnnie boy loses a bunch of money.

Martorano said he later told wilson what he did. wilson replied something to the effect of "why didn't you tell me you had money on the game, i would have thrown it for you."
