When I was young I was convinced by someone that if you took LSD you could "see" sound moving around the room and it was in different colours. For a long time afterwards I would wonder a) How I could make it happen without LSD (or any other drug) b) What it would look like (different sounds different colours? Soft waves or zigzaggy lines?) and c) Whenever I watched a program about drugs on TV that this was never mentioned.

I've never taken LSD, but I am assured by friends who have that this does not happen .....

i used to believe... that if I smushed bread into a ball it would turn into dope (like marijuana)... and I was too scared to eat it.

My mom called it dough when it was smushed and I was confused.

Dope (Dough) head

bannana skins toasted was supposed to be an alternative to marijuana - I never found it so

When I was about six I heard my parents and their friends in the next room light up some pot to smoke when they thought I was asleep. I was petrified that the police would come any minute to arrest them (my parents didn't usually smoke pot, their friends brought it). I smelled the strange smell of the smoke and covered up my face with the pillow because I figured that then I wouldn't breathe any in.
I figured that if I didn't breathe it in the police couldn't arrest me!
(of course they never came)

Admittedly, I never knew much about drugs until I was about 11 or 12, so when the Acid House thing was about I thought nothing of going around screaming "aciiid" - it seemed so innocent, especially with that smiley face everywhere.

Me and my friend think that Mini Pickles and Orange tic-tacs are drugged!!! We had ate tons of mini pickles and orange tic-tacs and we started acting drunk/high (aka laughing hysterically at everything and saying iGat, Gat apple stylie!" etc)
so to this day we think that pickles are cured in alcohol and tic tacs are orange pills.

iGat!!!!

When i was about 7 my older cousin (9 year) who was wery found of Jimmy Henrix told me that dope or junk was small pills like whole blackpepper and when your chewed them it make a cracking sound. For that they called them dope or junk.
