drugs

When I was very young, my sisters let me watch a modernized version (70's) of Frankenstein. There was a scene in which a man heard a knocking at the door and when he opened it, a disembodied hand fell out and started crawling towards him. From then on, that hand was under my bed and was gonna grab me if I stood next to it. I also thought that burglars were going to try to poke me with drug-filled needles and the only way to stop them was to keep the covers up to my chin, cause in my young mind, I didn't know how syringes worked and I thought that the covers would wipe off any poison before the needle reached me.

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 remember hearing my parents talking about people "doing drugs". So, I thought drugs was just one thing. I imagined people walking around drinking out of containers labeled "drugs".

After Grange Hill's "Just say no campaign" that people would force me to take drugs ... if only.
