V-2nd, Chap 7

[Michael Bailey]

there was a time, not so long ago, when a lot of people I knew had
such experiences.  Somewhere there came up an inhibition about talking
about them: "oh, there's old so-and-so, going on about his trips
again"

I never concurred in that, but I suspect it did arise for a reason.  I
have errands and chores to do, sleep to fit in sometime, Chapter 8
lying naked in the tub, and I'm still tempted to start a big
"tripping" thread...

how about a top 5 things I've heard people say or said about trips

5) one guy was talking about how he saw all these miniature spacemen
come into the room and was blasting them with his imaginary ray gun /
this is tied with this other guy who thought he was a frog and took
off all his clothes and was hopping around and his girlfriend came
over and they made sweet love (I wasn't there for either of those...)

4) one girl (this was a girl whose boyfriend had filed teeth...) said
"I love mescaline!  It's great for fighting!"

c) one guy saw a birthday cake with pictures of all the presidents on it

d) one guy I met in jail was talking about how he tripped and couldn't
stop wondering whether camels eat donuts

e) one guy started to flip out when a bunch of us were walking on the
publicly-available beautiful grounds of a private school: he said,
"I'm going crazy!"
Luckily my other friend had the presence of mind to ask him, "What
will you eat?"
By answering "roots and berries," he brought himself back to himself...
