Ok, hi all, just thought I'd drop by and say hello to all here. Been lurking for a while now without an account and I'm very grateful for some interesting insights into and information that I have found here.
A bit of background first though. I'm in my early 40s and have been consuming/partaking of all things mind altering since about the age of 13/14 when I first started venturing into pubs (I was very tall for my age
Started smoking hash at 14, first mushroom trip when I was 15, first acid trip around the same time. Attended Stonehenge festivals in 1983 and 1984, fell in love with speed around the age of 16 and was lucky enough to have been around some of the early parties of the late 80s when MDMA first made it's appearance in the UK.
The late 80s was a bit of a BBB blur to me (Billy Beer & Blow(hash/weed)) which is still my preferred cocktail of substance abuse in a given night. Start the night with a massive couple of lines of speed, go down the pub or similar event, continue drinking and redosing throughout the night, end up talking rubbish to anyone who'll listen into the small hours, crashing out after a huge bong. Before the rave scene hit in I had been attending Northern Soul allnighters as well so was more than prepared for 12hrs of solid dancing on speed.
The 90s, for me, started out with a thing for acid, at the time there were lots of quite low dose 'lips' doing the rounds (along with some mental window panes, white lightnings and black & brown microdots) and we got stuck into those for a year or two. Then my group started getting into the whole Goa thing whilst I headed back down the speed route again (always returning to the one you love). The latter end of the 90s saw me take advantage of the increasing availability of cheap (and at the time not bad quality) coke hitting the London streets. That was a couple of years that had I not had more self control could quite easily have turned into something that I'm grateful it didn't.
The past 10 years have mostly be spent smoking weed/hash with only occasional forays into the stimulants again, this is usually about 2-4 times a year now and will involve either a weekend on the nosebag or (if it's Glastonbury) 3-4 days on speed & booze (my stomach does not thank me for this btw).
I'm increasingly interested in the myriad of RCs that seem to be making their way to market nowadays and am hopeful of being able to learn a lot more about their efficacy from the good people on this list. I'm also looking forward to perhaps passing on a bit of my knowledge gained over the past almost 30 years of substance taking.
Cheers all.
