Some folks have all the luck. When I was younger I thought I could drive into San Francisco and find a hippy and buy LSD. I thought it was three simple steps. 1. find the hippy 2. smoke him out 3. get acid. The only problem is all the hippies have been replaced with crack heads. Good luck finding a hippy in San Francisco. I think I saw 1 group of younger kids in dreadlocks playing music on the street. That was it.
Those hippies all moved to the Silicon Valley and are running software companies. LOL
I lived in Marin Co. in the 80's. We used to ride the Bart to Berkley and walk the six blocks to Telegraph Ave and find skaters and hippies with blotter, window pane, 25 on sugar cubes. $3.00 - $5.00 a drop.
Used to ride the Bart back, and by the time we got out of the Transbay tunnel, we were tripping and would forget to get off sometimes.
One time I got on the wrong train and ended up in San Leandro, tripping on LSD 25 and out of quarters for the adfare machine. I hopped the turnstyle and rode back to the city. Talk about seeing tracers when the train is going 70 mph under the San Fransisco Bay.
watching people and riding that train for 5 hours was one of the best trips I ever had.
San Fransisco at night, from anywhere... straight, high or sober, is a beautiful sight.
