[OG report on the history of pink dope]
I had a chemist at U of Michigan who made me up psychedelics in the early '70's. Jerry only had 2 pill presses at the time,
one for micro-dot LSD (!) and the other regular sized. I'd usually get 1000 each Friday and sell 100's to street dealers. With
the regular size tabs it was always the same dope. Just different colors. If the new shipment was a new or unknown color I fed
my brother 2 tabs of them and watched how he acted. Between the new color and my brother's reaction I would name the "new"
tabs. That is how we got Pink Death THC in the Detroit area in 1971. You are welcome.
By the early '80's I was peddling speed in San Jose, Cal. One of my regulars always wanted an oz of coke to go with his oz of
crank. So I had a coke guy to feed me when I needed his product. One day (coke guy) Johnny came over with "something new".
It was pink cocaine! I thought it tasted like it had been reconstituted. Remember recon coke? Anyway (us old guys do wander...),
I was told the pink stuff was called bubblegum coke.
That's the pink report from this old hippy. Think I'll take a nap.
