My zapatero drug dealer in Bogota often had acid for sale but only once did he have Blue Cheer. He only had 4 tabs and I bought them all.

Cleanest, best acid with the most intense visual effects (at one point molten glowing purple metal shot from my eyes and covered everything in my vision and then thickly dripped off until it was no more).

1969. I’d just turned 15.

My zapatero never got more. Not to worry though— we had a pipeline of psychedelics straight from the drug mart in Miami South Beach.

Those were strange days.
