I grew up in the San Franciso Bay Area which during the 60s-mid 90s produced 90% of the US supply of Acid. When I first dosed, my friend said you showed dose hard since its your first time. My other friend had never dosed and he took a 3/4 gel and dosed so hard that he went home and hid under he sheets. I took 2 1/2 and dosed so hard that I thought I saw God. Then next hardest I dosed was a few years latter, at a dead show in Vegas were I did a hit of 4 way and felt like my body disinegrated and became a part of the show. During this time 80% of the MDXX was made in the Bay Area (remember this is the home of the legendary Shulgin, Owsley, Summer of love, ect...). Wonder how things are now a days, know their was a lenghthy LSD drought as the traditional "families" stoped producing, and the vacuum was filled by some guy in a abondoned Missel Silo in Kansas that got Rolled up. But after many years I hear doses have come back, maybe the Bay Area isn't the epicenter....just some news from this side of the pond.
