Never had the opportunity to drop acid.  In fact, never did any illicit
substances except pot, other than the one time I got my hands on some
mushrooms.

Greg's mention of "INTENSE CLARITY" and "interrelatedness" is exactly what
I got from the 'shrooms.

As long as we're on this subject, can anyone tell me if they still do pot
on a regular basis, once you're into your late 20's or 30's?  Eventually I
hit a point where the pot just made me paranoid as hell and turned me into
a zombie.  I once saw George Carlin mention that marijuana was a "young
person's drug" and that you sort of outgrow it.  Is this true?
