OK - I like this moniker, because Peyote is the best!
SO: I received an early education in/about psychedelics. Sandoz Ampuoles were still around California back in the day, and it was that pharmaceutical acid which powered (age 13) my first TRIP!! And what a trip....
Before the concept of "set and setting" was widely disseminated, my mentors drilled that concept into my mind.
I smoked synthetic? DMT in 1972, when I was 15. It was crazy as it always was/is!!
All I remember is dinosaur aliens crawling on Mars? And I was speechless, for an hour. Literally. I lost the power of speech. I had to re-learn it. Maybe my brain wasn't ready for DMT?
Peyote was my first love. God it felt like I was part of the Universe for the first time when Peyote was in my brain!!!
Me and my friends spent many weekends in Baja California, surfing our secret spots, high on cactus, then after spending 6 hours in the Ocean, Cactus was our friend by the campfire (Tequila), taking the edge off. I will say it now: Peyote is the best: You could be high on it, and talk to the President (POTUS), the Head of the: CIA, FBI, DEA, ETC!!! And be SO chill, as to never give it away. Peyote is the da kine!!
The rest of my story is: Blah Blah bLah dee blah! Boring!!
It may be interesting to note: My best friend's brother, was a member of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. And in 1967, that meant accessability to Acid. So on my 1t5h birthday, I received a very sweet present of 100 tabs of Orange Sunshine. Ostensably for my education, "spiritual growth", and search for the 'Clear Light'.
End of Part "A"
