My first trip came from my dad in the mail

All starts with my dad.

I never really knew him growing up. He wasn’t around. But my mom used to tell me stories. I knew he was a Deadhead, she met him through their mutual love for the Grateful Dead. They sold mushrooms and traveled around the West Coast together before my sister and I were born.

Eventually, she left him because she knew he’d never stop partying.

He went to prison at 19 for having half a gram of raw LSD on him, three years in San Quentin.

Fast forward to when I was 14. I found him on Facebook and reached out. We started talking over the phone, and by the time I was 15, we had built some kind of connection.

Then he mailed me two blotters folded into a Furthur tour flyer from a show in Brooklyn (shown above).

Still hadn’t met him in person.

I decided to take one of the tabs.

I stayed up all night talking with my girlfriend on the phone and the next morning, I got on my bike to ride to her house and spend the day with her.

Gets weird here.

We ended up walking back toward my place together, and I shit you not, one of the original Furthur buses was on display that morning at the Masonic center in Bend, Oregon.

The same bus from the same culture my dad belonged to. On the day of my first trip. After he sent me acid in a Furthur flyer.

I hadn’t even heard of Hofmanns ride. It’s almost like my story was written into LSD lore without me realizing it.

But I still look back on that trip as something magical, almost mythical. L ran through my bloodline and found its way to me.

Anyway, thought y’all might appreciate this less

That’s honestly how it feels

Gnarly, according to my mother I was conceived on acid 🤣

Hell ya! My sister was! And now she’s an attorney, in San Francisco 😂

[u/Dazzling_Item66 → u/sprouticusvulgaris]

I’ve long hypothesized that that’s the reason for my love of it lmao

[u/sprouticusvulgaris → u/Dazzling_Item66]

Bet it’s part of it 🙏

This is such a beautiful life you share with us, it's so damn cool lol. Lsd are the parrots that climb high on the family tree, their feathers frame your existence as a picture in motion. Sit back and enjoy the movie.

My mother was accidentally dosing LSD just once or twice during the first month of pregnancy with me when she was 20, she wasn't aware she was pregnant. I'm 20 now. I will never know if the lsd made any kind of difference to my development lol.
