I was about eight years old when that story came out, but even then, it didn't sound right to me. <br /><br />I've never tried acid,either, and I don't think I will.<br /><br />As for the ban against marijuana: It came about in large part because, until the '60's, most of the people who got high on it (in the US, anyway) were Mexican laborers. Governments have a history of making the pleasures of the poor and disenfranchised illegal, or looking the other way when the upper classes partake of them. <br /><br />An example of the former occurred in England during the 18th Century, when gin--which had become the favored drink of laborers and other common people--was heavily taxed and its distribution severely restricted. Meanwhile, whiskey, consumed mainly by the middle and upper classes, was left untouched. As for the latter, we have only to look at Prohibition and the so-called War on Drugs in the US. During Prohibition, speakeasies and small-time bootleggers were raided, while the rich drank unmolested in country clubs and the like. Similarly, the War on Drugs netted mainly the urban small-time dealers--most of whom were Black and Hispanic--but left white college kids and suburbanites, who were the biggest consumers, untouched.<br />Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-8961615129368538602017-04-21T13:09:17.278-07:002017-04-21T13:09:17.278-07:00Dr. Hofmann's Bicycle trip is enshrined in the...Dr. Hofmann's Bicycle trip is enshrined in the history and folklore of the alternative/ underground culture. It brings to mind another trip.<br /><br />Soon after Donovan's "Yellow Mellow" song came out in late 1966, brains worked furiously and a group of people on the West Coast, actually the SF Bay area, came up with the banana high. The story was that if you scraped off the inside of a banana peel, roasted it gently, and ground it up into a fine powder, mixed it with a little tobacco and smoked it, you could get really high. The tale was all over the place in the summer of 1967, the "summer of love". Some people actually tried it. I was never fooled because I saw the magnificant pun under the story: you can trip on a banana peel. I was raised on Laurel and Hardy.<br /><br />The point was that if the federal government has made a common wild plant that is native to large parts of the continent illegal because it gets people high, what would they do if they found out that bananas are in fact a powerful psychodelic? The point is even more relevant today in light of statements coming out of Mr. T's "Justice" Department. <br /><br />I do not advise anybody to try and duplicate Dr. Hofmann's trip. At least not with doses over 50- 75 mg. Settle down under a tree.<br /><br />Leo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
