I remember back a couple of decades when they first started reporting on "X" in the news. It was being given to older people in their final years to keep them from being depressed.
I can remember Dan Rather on the CBS evening news talking about some study being done in Colorado at the time.
I did some in the late 1980's...the "real" stuff. But what I really like is blotter acid. So being accustomed to doing that and still walking onstage with my band and playing 5 45 minute sets a night...the X seemed pretty lame and a waste of money to me.
Good blotter was $4 a hit. I'd cut that one little piece of paper into 4 tiny pieces of paper and do a quarter hit a night. Felt GREAT for 8 hours straight. Lots of energy, thought process through the roof, hand to eye coordination increased, and not enough in me to get me loopy. It was the perfect combination for singing and playing guitar in a band.
The X? Just kinda lame and overpriced.
And a couple of clubs I played at during the 90's would have "Rave Nights". We would finish playing at 3 a.m. Then the club would lock up all the liquor. Then thousands of teenagers would come in and pay a big ass cover charge.
Within about an hour they would all be lying on the floor rubbing each others shoulders listening to Rave DJ's for the next 6 hours or so.
The cops did security and told me that they loved having the kids on X because they were so mellow and there was never any problems.
Don't know why they call those events a "Rave". They should call it a "Sleep Over" lol
