Oops I lie again, inadvertently - I did do 1/2 a hit of black
windowpane in 1975, it turned into one of those trips where you take a
long walk alone late at night by the side of the road and think about
poetry and mathematics and stave off despair with a disciplined gait
and the fragments you've shored against your ruin, and finally make it
through to daylight and go back to the place that your roommates are
systematically trashing
we did somehow even get sugar cubes one time in 1971, must have been a
retro chemist somewhere (if it was genuine, I'd call that a pretty
good score for a bunch of 16 year olds) and one thing that happened
was that the leaves in the trees were singing Peter Green's "Green
Manolishi with the 3-pronged Crown"
(or was it Peter Brown's "Leafy Manolishi with the Bumblebee Hum"?)
but anyway...just had to set the record straight...never was a big
doper by any reasonable standard; started slow & tapered off...
