I came across this comment that a Vietnam Vet submitted to the comment section of the Uriah Heep tune, The Spell, excellent tune by the way...I've done a lot of crazy things in my life while in a different frame of mind, I even know a guy who's been flying helicopter since 1976, he owns 2 today, who would drop "purple microdot" before flying and even a few times in fight. He's pushing 70years today and lives in Penticton BC and owns 2 choppers, I know for a fact that one is jet propelled, he flew 1,800 miles to here in Ontario with it, I think he said that his average speed was 75 or 85 knots and he does his own maintenance and repairs and he's still dropping acid...AND HE DOESN'T AGE.
Anyways I came across this and it's a comment from, what I presume is a paratrooper...there's no fucking way that I'd jump out of an airplane stoned on anything or even "one bourbon, one scotch and one beer"
///Did this album on acid in 1972 as a member of the 82nd Airborne. Uriah Heep was magical to me and my fellow draftees, but on LSD together...? Top floor of the mind. Aptly titled album and powerful song on it.///
"Even managed to get my hands on Thai Stick and Acapulco Gold FFS."... Back in the mid 80s I and buddy, his brother was the head of the MC in Southern Ontario, patched over to "81" in 1999, were winding down a 2year trial in St.Catherine/Niagra Falls, fucking RCMP set us up on phony charges trying to get us to "roll" on key figures in the organization and if we refused we were looking at 2 to 5 pen time, after 100K in legal fees and a lot of "fuck you asshole" to the 5 Montreal RCMP involved, we beat everything down to a simple "formality charge" and got 7 weekends in jail and one year parole...we walk out of court, with zero respect for the entire place and process, and 2 brothers are waiting for us in a Lincoln Town Car and the fucking feds are pissed and they're staring as if their eyes are on fire, we go to one of the "entertainment" establishments that we controlled in the area and head into the basement where there was 2 goalie bags (dufflebags for hockey goaltender equipment), both bags filled with "stick", 50lbs ttl, fucking shit was powerful and sticky as fuck, we were also getting shit out of Cambodia (nothing ever compared to that shit) and Nepal (got a wild story about Nepal)...fuck I remember a bunch of us beating the feds on another rap and right inside the court house, in front of dumb as fuck cops, lawyers and the judge, outside the court in the hallway, I hand a briefcase to Bubba with a "key" of Bolivian inside of it and with the feds gawking right at us, plain view and unsuspected because it's a court house, bro grabs it, we spew off some dislikes about the place and are as rude and contemptuous (contempt of court) as can be because we had no respect for the place or those inside, and the go our separate ways. Your reply brought back some memories.
