I’m dig­ging my new blog very much!

Ain’t it shiny? Don’t you just want to lick it?

If you do, I’ll charge you extra. This media whore don’t come cheap!

I espe­cially like my new ban­ner. Actu­ally it’s my first and only ban­ner. Ok, so I’m not a ban­ner expert. I still dig it anyway!

My younger brother designed it based on my rather loose spec­i­fi­ca­tions. He did the whole site actu­ally and could do yours too, for a mod­est, yet afford­able fee. Con­tact me for details.

The new site uses some­thing called Word Press, which seems like one pow­er­ful moth­er­fucker of a sys­tem. I don’t think I even know half of what it does yet. It’s a brand new world for me!

I spent most of Thurs­day mon­ged out of my skull on those Pur­ple Ohms and to be hon­est, I can’t say I enjoyed it. The expe­ri­ence has put me off piper­azines and LSA, which is a nat­ural pre­cur­sor of LSD.

For starters, I maxed out the dose, because my expe­ri­ence with these herbal highs is such that to get any­where, you need to take as much as they rec­om­mend pos­si­ble. Maybe that wasn’t wise, but fuck it, it was my birth­day and the pack­age promised “a shroom like expe­ri­ence.” Bullshit!

The speed­ier, piper­azine, BZP, or TMMP aspects of it were as described pre­vi­ously, a bit speedy, slightly euphoric and pleas­ant enough, so I think what dis­agreed with me was the LSA con­tain­ing Argryria Ner­vosa. I could be wrong.

Basi­cally, it lasted for hours and the trip­pi­ness wasn’t pleas­ant, it was that anx­ious, rest­less sort of feel­ing that you get from acid cut with too much speed. I didn’t really enjoy it at all.

When Mrs. H got home from work, I had to have a nap, or at least lie in the dark for a cou­ple of hours. She was not impressed to say the least.

I wouldn’t clas­sify it as a “bad trip” but def­i­nitely an unpleas­ant expe­ri­ence that I do not plan on repeat­ing. I get the feel­ing that a lot of these new herbal highs are just a mix of any old legal sub­stance that makes you feel some­thing and not a well-balanced mix of ingre­di­ents that yield a fan­tas­tic time.

Per­haps these new legal highs are still in their infancy and the real arti­sans of the indus­try haven’t cre­ated any­thing ideal yet. At least they are trying.

This lit­tle episode has made me realise just how good magic mush­rooms were and what a tragedy it is that the British gov­ern­ment took them away from us for no good rea­son other than to be seen to be leg­is­lat­ing morality.

My beloved shrooms were safe, reli­able and fun. You knew exactly what you were get­ting and if you were dosage aware, just how strong your trip would be. They were gen­tle on the sys­tem, with a grad­ual come up, com­fort­able peak and relaxed come-down. They were all nat­ural, unprocessed and cheap. Up until last July, you could buy them from a choice of rep­utable retail­ers, online or on the high street.

I miss shrooms quite a bit and noth­ing that’s come along since even comes close. I’m sure if I put my mind to it, I could track some down now, but I don’t want to. They’re “Class A” and I’d rather not mess with that.

No, what I would like is for this gov­ern­ment to do a U-turn. What I’d like to see is some Euro­pean Court over­turn the law! What I’d like is for shrooms to come back, fresh, legal and avail­able to grown-up, respon­si­ble hip­pies like me!

But I live in the real world and that’s just not going to hap­pen, is it?

Instead, peo­ple are going to keep look­ing for that next big thing. And you know what, that next big thing might be far worse than shrooms and it wouldn’t have come on the mar­ket if shrooms were still available!

Accord­ing to a recent report I saw on SKY NEWS, in this coun­try alone, the legal high mar­ket is in the region of 10 mil­lion pounds per year! That’s a shit­load of money; it’s a mas­sive mar­ket and I pre­dict it will expand in the com­ing years in ways none of us can imagine!

And yes, I’ll be here to test drive these new sub­stances for you! Maybe I’ll find one even bet­ter than shrooms!

Some­how I doubt that too!
