Merckx index said: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.

RownhamHill said: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 ****).

True story.![]()
Stingray34 said:Do tell...and is it true he bongs so much because he can't roll his own?![]()
slowspoke said: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!![]()
Stingray34 said: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!
