And now for something completely different...

This reminds me of two girls I knew in the late 1980s. By that time
there were excellent blotters around --- they had a golden five pointed
star on an aquamarine ground - which were sold in two different forms:
With 125 and with 250 micrograms LSD. While some people took the
opportunity to really go for the full sized Acid Test by taking two or
three of the high volume dosages, those girls did it the other way
round: They always shared just one of the blotters with the small dosage
and then sat for hours and hours in the kitchen. Giggling, talking,
giggling. When I asked them why they never joined the magical quest they
uttered that they didn't like the heavy hallucinations and the fear that
often goes along with it. "A tiny dosage is so much better, all things
are extraordinarily funny and I can feel and use the whole capacity of
my brain," is what the girl named Jana said. Well, I think this attitude
is not just a personal thing but characteristic for a time where
substances like MDMA are the more merchantable ones. The 1980s were the
decade where this shift took place. What does it say about our culture?
