You know Zen, at times I've thought to myself how great it'd be to just take one more little 'trip', but now that I'm older, I just can't think of putting stuff like that into my body. I have too much to lose if it goes wrong. Back then, I felt like i had nothing to lose, so I guess that's why it was so easy to do.
So instead, I just get together with a couple of my friends who were with me back then and we hit the vino and reminisce. It's a much safer way of taking a trip down memory lane. We really did have some awesome fun, and I don't care what anyone says. Drugs can be great fun if you're in the right environment with the right people and everyone's safe. Unfortunately, situations can change so quickly at times, and bad shit can happen. We were all pretty lucky, but one of my friends now battles serious mental illness and I've been dealing with depression. Who knows what some of the others I've lost touch with have been through since then. Better off not doing it in the end really, and if you never have, I'd say never bother.
