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?
