At the time, acid made me consider questions of reality, the difference, as someone said, between words and silence. It also brought back a lot of latent religious feelings in me that I had turned my back on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have to confess that a strong contributing factor was that I had just taken what was probably the first acid ever made, given to me by a guy called Johnny Fellows, who had just returned from America.
I had a very bad time with acid. I did that classic thing of looking in the mirror by mistake and seeing the devil. But I took it several times, because you always think that next time you might have the wonderful time that everyone else is having.
I was raised a Christian and was a stone-faced acid head.
When I was an art student in the early 60's before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.
For me, the bulimia was about stuffing my emotions. So I stopped suppressing my feelings.
Believe it or not, I loved acid rock in college - and I still do.
If God dropped acid, would he see people?
Acid wasn't getting a whole lot of bad press at the time, and as I saw the whole bad-press thing happen, I became aware that the government had done a whole lie on all the other benign drugs as well. It became clear to me that the government wanted no real drug education.
That whole environment was just incompatible with my beliefs and my personality. It was a dark time for me.
I never did acid, I am just so high anyway.
