The Summer of Kristy

[Nitro Express]

Somebody stuck a baggie of seeds into my locker in jr. high. Never did figure out who it was. Unfortunately before I could figure out where to plant them, my mom found the seeds. And of course she took them right to the fucking police department for "identification". The cops confirmed her suspicions, but said that it wasn't illegal to have seeds so.. nothing they could do.

Years later she admitted that she planted a couple of them just for the Hell of it, but they never did anything. Probably got eaten by a bird or a squirrel, since we always had a lot of critters running around.

So much for my one brief attempt to grow my own. Not that I would have had a clue how to do it at that age.

It grew wild on the farm my mom grew up on. My grandfather was always digging it up because it messed with the cows if they ate it. My parents had some friends in Jamaica and we went there and stayed with them. Pot was growing all over that island.

My redneck great uncle had a little row of pot plants growing near the outhouse next to his log cabin in the Idaho panhandle. I was like 12 years old, so didn't understand the specifics of what part of the cannabis plant contained the THC... so I actually pulled up one of the little plants and ate the whole thing. Sadly, it didn't do anything, of course.

Best to score your weed from an old hippie growing some in the middle of a corn field. All that processed shit from the dispensaries will fuck you up.

No not really. The THC is a lot higher, Buffalo actually has a massive growing concern on the South part of the city and it ain't even fully legal yet. But it's basically organic but very potent...

I'm back, homos.


Did you miss me? No one does. Anyhoo, 2 things.


1. I love drugs.

2, Prince is still dead.

[Von Halen]

Yes, we missed you.

[Nickdfresh]

Well thank goodness you didn't OD. Did you?

[Kristy]

Impossible to OD on psychedelics.

Syd Barrett might say otherwise. If he wasn't dead... and pretty much incapable of communicating for a while before that.

I think Gilmour more or less thinks that but Waters said that Syd was showing signs of mental illness (probably schizophrenia) even before taking fistfuls of drugs - a chicken or an egg thing. All the acid (a lot of it he didn't even know about as his asshole hippie roommates were spiking his morning java) didn't help his condition but he probably was undiagnosed and mistreated...

[FORD]

My experience with psychedelics is limited, and haven't touched them at all in about 30 years, but one thing I do remember is that they "amplify" whatever is already in your head. So if Syd took them while he was already in the middle of a mental health episode, it probably was a bad move.

I'm definitely interested in the possibilities of using psychedics to treat depression and anxiety, but you would probably want to do so in a "controlled" environment and make sure you start out in a positive head space before you start tripping.

OD as in kill yourself maybe but possible to kill your brain...?

I love you Krusty!

Lets do some shrooms together. I am an old fuck, and acid is too much for me anymore.
