...exist; we must see how funny all that supposed logic is. We should wear lampshades on our heads, urinate in the kitchen, say "Fuck you" to any system that tries to encroach on our humanity. James Thurber would understand this kind of approach to life. And so would acid heads, people with good peripheral vision, and Lenny Bruce...

...senior year, everything was relaxed and nobody suspected me, and one weekend this cat came from Alaska and he offered me some acid [LSD]. I was pretty uptight. I didn't think it would wreck my mind, but I was still scared. Then when it started to come on, I thought, "How could such beautiful stuff hurt me?" I really dig acid raps. That's when you talk to the cat you took acid with about anything that comes into your mind. Once a big Day-Glo ribbon materialized and hovered three or four inches above the ground...

After I took acid, I told my parents I had dropped [taken it]. They got really really uptight and said acid could make you go insane. But at least they didn't care about grass any more. They're just worried about grass because it's against the law. They never threatened to call the heat [police] or anything. They never even told me never to use drugs again. They just said: "Not in the house...

...been stoned on anything for about a month, and I don't plan to take anything in the near future. Just to groove on reality for a change. I was born straight, so I think I should be straight for most of my life. But I will take acid again. When I'm on acid, I am as stoned as I could ever hope to be. The heavy drugs, like acid or mescaline, totally destroy reality. If I want to get the hell out, I'll just drop some of that good...

...some people can have a bad time with dope. Acid can make you flip out. One classmate of mine was disowned by his wealthy parents after he got busted from school for using grass. He started to do acid every day by shooting [with a hypodermic needle] and snorting [inhaling the powder], and he started to deal [push it, sell it] too. His parents thought he was going insane, and they talked of committing him. So he ran away from home. Nobody knows where he is now. Also, another cat I know got busted in Carmel [Calif.] for using weed...
