I went skiing on LSD once. I like to think I was the first person in history to try that, it was back in the late 60s. For those of you who have never dropped acid, it can be like a much more intense version of MJ (though it can also be lots of other things). Had a wonderful time, but as I recall, it didn't affect my performance one way or the other. I was probably a little more cautious than I normally would have been.

The only negative aspect of the trip came much later, in the lodge/hotel where I was staying with some other people who worked in the same lab, and our Ph.D. advisor. The drug made me very honest and perceptive, to the point where I started to verbalize some impressions of my advisor that really upset his normally mild-mannered wife. As I recall, she threw a plate at me. But that was OK, it came at me in slow motion.

i rode my skateboard home from a friends house once on mushrooms. it was 9 miles home but it seemed like 15 minutes

Not sure, but I think any advantage you'd gain in an extra fast descent wouldn't make up for having to stop at the top of the mountain to skin up and smoke a joint.

Not unless, I suppose, the entire peloton stopped to join you for a smoke. And even then Team Sky would probably take relay tokes in rapid succession without getting off their bikes, and then take off down the mountain first with the jay still half smoked - marginal gains and all that.

And one could only imagine what the Schleck brothers would look like behind a bong (Andy would probably complain after the race that it was hydroponic weed, while he prefers hash, and no one wants to see the race settled on that Amsterdam ****).

Some of you's including RownhamHill keep thinking smoking and huge amounts to render you useless, yes if you over do it you're not going to gain much other than a big case of the munchies, I agree. BUT! If you give it in moderated doses and ingested not smoked as they don't really have the time or the ease for that but can easily pack it in a small brownie (figure some will know what I'm talking about here) or other home made edible package it will do its job. Again, they will have to test it out per rider to not over or under dose the rider. Just enough to calm them will give some riders an advantage, too bad the UCI doesn't see the possible benefit or just ban it as it should being its illegal in most parts anyway.

Do tell...and is it true he bongs so much because he can't roll his own? :p

I'ma sound engineer and I worked with him on the promotion of BIGH. The record company had Afroman papers and smoking devices made and turn up with them and a big bag of weed. I normally had a rule that I didn't get high with the talent. But as it was him and my last booking of the day, I changed my mind. I didn't know about him not being able to roll his own and to fair, I didn't see him roll any.
He told a great story about being high and being stopped by the police. He ran, but was so high he ran straight around the block back into the police again. A very nice man.

BTW after he left, I had a panic job to sound design the introduction to the Royal Variety Show. I was so stoned I could hardly see straight, but they loved what I did!:eek:

Excellent story! Thanks!

I was just 'avin' a laff about rolling his own...I'd love to be a sound engineer; you must have thousands of stories about the 'talent.' Maybe a tell-all book could be in the offing for you, but be prepared for accusations of being a bitter ex-employee with an axe to grind!

Yes, it'll make a good book.... But its not as exciting as people think!
