Like most people my age, I took very little LSD during the first 4.5 years of life. However, related words like acid, psychodelic, trip, drop etc. have been part of the colloquial english language for my entire tenure as an english speaker, which probably started somewhere around 1967. My memory of the era is a little hazy and is often mixed with obvious fantasy, though. And I have always been a little unconventional. So who knows? Received on Sun Aug 31 2003 - 19:25:06 CEST
