This is apparently why LSD is rated by The Feds as a "Schedule One" drug...

I Did Acid With Caroline

[Haggard Celine]

1. I'd like to do acid with Caroline!

It's been a long time since I've done that. Maybe I should just get me some shrooms.

2. I would personally prefer the shrooms over the questionable "LSD" of the early 70s...nt

3. I was too young to do acid in the 70s.

I did most of my drugs in the 80s and 90s. There was some great ecstasy back then. I never did any sort of synthetic drugs unless I knew the people who made them. I think shrooms are relatively safe, and they're a lot of fun. That's all I want, a fun time doing something that's harmless.

4. Full disclosure, I did the painting for this Dr. Timothy Leary comic book...

...for which I was "hired" by George DiCaprio (father of u no hoo).

I got to meet Dr. Tim at his home, back in the day.

He offered me a beer, and I accepted.

So, I drank a beer with Dr. Timothy Leary.

5. !

do go on...

6. OK...the Good Doctor was babysitting and watching a football game on a TV...

...that was out of whack so that the football field was blue.

I was with George DiCaprio and Pete Von Sholly.

Dr. Tim was babysitting a toddler in a playpen who was happy and safe.

Dr. Tim offered each of us an OLYMPIA beer.

ON EDIT: George, Pete and myself were visiting Dr. Leary to show him the progress we were making on the "Neurocomics" project (published by Last Gasp).

7. That's beautiful! You're very talented.

Sounds like you have had an interesting life. Do you do murals? I'd bet you could come up with something wonderful. If I could afford it I would get you to paint some walls in my house. I saw Walter Anderson's house years ago and his walls were covered with different scenes. I don't know if that house is still there. I heard Walter Anderson's museum got a lot of damage from Katrina.

8. "Do you do murals?"

First off, I do not do murals, but I know people who do, on giant exterior walls of multi-story buildings, which are very expensive, apparently.

Sounds like you have had an interesting life.

Interesting, yes.

For example, the mother of my kid, back then, took the publicity photos of Leonardo DiCaprio - in my art studio - which were used to get his Matchbox TV commercial, his first role.

Then I went on into the whole undrground music/art world which has consumed my existence to this day.

For better or worse, probably mostly worse.

10. Great story, here and in the subsequent replies! And I love that painting.

I agree with Haggard Celine: you're very talented.

Musically and artistically.

...I appreciate it very much!

9. I don't know

Orange Sunshine from the Brotherhood of Eternal Love was good, at least early on. Later on it was pedestrian. Purple microdot also was usually good. The "mescaline" sold in the 70s was mostly a ripoff, I think just diluted acid.
