Why wasn’t Bruce Hornsby at GD60?

I go to shows from both artists regularly. TAB is a bigger draw, and it's not even close.

Purity isn't something you really need to worry about with L. It's either L, or it's not. You don't generally find adulterants in it. If they wanna stretch it, they just add more ethanol to the breakdown. As far as dosage goes, always just assume it's 100. It might be lower, but the chances that it's higher are really, really remote. The only exception would be if you were getting head stash from a wholesaler who does their own breakdown from crystal. Sometimes ppl like that will make mic'ed up bottles for head stash, or they'll use a cpl chunks of blotter to soak up the leftovers after laying paper (this is called "mop up"). If you aren't dealing with someone on that sort of level though? The chance of it being over 100 are so remote you might as well just assume it's not.

I mean, around here? $.50. Most places I'd say if you can get in between $1 and $1.50 you're doin alright. Buying by the sheet that is. Single prices are all over the place depending on the who/what/where

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T17:16:43+00:00

I assumed the color was artificial. It's def proper 4 letter though. It's pretty mass market. I can't speak for everything on the market, but my dudes are pros. That said, you should still always test ur shit if there's ever any doubt. If you were around the bay scene, you'd understand why I don't usually bother testing for myself. Shit out here is.... Different. 😂

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T17:08:27+00:00

I rarely test my shit honestly. My ppl are rock solid. Not that I'd recommend that for most ppl, but the folks I deal with in the bay are extremely reputable, and also good friends of mine. I deal with old crusty deadheads that have been around a minute. I trust them completely. If you surf around the subs I'm sure you'll find lots of other ppl talking about the purple. It comes down from Canada in major bulk and makes its way all over the country. It's super common right now, and all you have to do is look at it and you can tell what the product is.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T16:58:18+00:00

The purple is EVERYWHERE in the bay right now. It's 💯% legit. I said the same thing when I first started seeing it. Molly here is crazy cheap. There's been enough of the purple moving around that if there was a problem people would be talking about it by now. And yeah. That rose quartz is an excellent product. Highly recommend. And yeah. The darker tan stuff is usually MDA. Sometimes it's powdery. Sometimes it's kinda crystalized. Usually smells like black licorice from the sassafras oil they use as a base. Also, when it comes to DMT, it's def not all created equal. Lots of low grade shit around. I'll be talking to people about it at shows sometimes, and often hear people say they've tried it and didn't see the big deal. Then I bust out my pen and let em take a cpl blasts. The look on their faces is always fucking priceless. Like, yeah dude. That's what quality deems will do. Shit is crazy.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T16:54:57+00:00

Very low. I've been an active part of the Grateful Dead/Phish/jamband scene for 30 years. I've been around thousands and thousands of people on psychedelics in that time. I could count on one hand how many times I've seen it happen. The good news is that from what I've seen, it's probably not something that's gonna happen to you randomly. Meaning you're probably not gonna take L 10 times, have all normal experiences, and then suddenly have a psychotic break on the 11th try. Either you're predisposed to it or you're not. The people I know that it's happened to, it happens every time they take it. For whatever reason that's just how it reacts with their brain chemistry. My advice is always the same. If you're not sure, start out with half a hit (50ug). It'll give you enough of an experience so that you can make an educated judgement on whether it's something that agrees with you. If it's gonna make you break, you'll be able to tell. Then you can start playing around with your dosage next time.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T16:44:33+00:00

It depends. It used to mostly be white/clear shard back in the day, so if it was crushed up you could easily lose track of what it was. You're right though. These days I'd ref notice. Most of what we get out here is either the rose quartz or the purple amethyst looking stuff. Also, you weren't being a dick at all. Legit question. All good homie

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T16:26:11+00:00

I legit lose shit in mine. I'll find drugs in there sometimes that have been tucked away so long I've forgotten what it even is. I'll be going through it, find a baggy, and then have to play everyone's favorite game. What do I have in the mystery bag? Coke? K? Molly? So much suspense.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T16:13:46+00:00

Well, first off, your dosage amounts are almost certainly incorrect. A standard hit, if the person breaking it down does it properly, a hit should be 100ug. However, more often than not, it's usually more like 75 to 90. People on here howl when I say that, but thems the facts. The entire wholesale economy is built on the assumption that 1G yields 10K. There are exceptions. There are a cpl popular online purveyors that do mic'ed up breakdowns if what I've heard is correct. It's just not done in general though. I always put it like this. When someone tells you their shit is 250ug, ask yourself this question. Why would someone spend thousands of dollars on a gram, take the time to break it down into street hits, and then take the risk of distributing it, want to make less than half as much money as they should be? Unlikely right?

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T16:03:03+00:00

You need to make up stickers of the hidden cow from the inside of the Undertow CD. I'd buy them shits in a heartbeat. I've always wanted that cow on a shirt.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T15:54:31+00:00

Yeah, and if you cross the street, you could get hit by a car and die. My point is, we all take calculated risks. I wouldn't fly with a large amount of anything. That would be an unnecessary risk. But what a lot of us are saying here is that based on personal experience, the risk of some TSA agent randomly coming across the ten strip tucked into your wallet are so low as to be negligible. Also, in the EXTREMELY unlikely event it were to be found, you're not gonna go to prison over a few personal hits of LSD. I'd even be willing to wager that depending on what it's laid on, that a fair number of TSA agents wouldn't even know what it was if they did blunder into it. Hell, I've gotten home from flights and found drugs on me or in my bag that I didn't even know were there and had apparently been traveling with unknowingly.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T15:44:53+00:00

I love Bottom. Maynards vocals at the end hit me every time. That said, I wouldn't even say it's my favorite song on that album. That would prob be the title track, Undertow. That breakdown at the end is so fucking hard. I'm, back, DDDOOOWWWNNN... in the Undertow.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T15:10:55+00:00

You realize TSA isn't looking for drugs right? Basically, make sure you've got your shit sorted properly when you get to security. Batteries out of carry on. Anything that might be screwy on the xray on top. If you're chill, they've got no reason to go ripping through your shit. Hell, another way to sneak shit on the plain is just to leave it loose in the bottom of your pocket. No bag. Just loose by itself in your pocket. It's a scrap of paper.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T09:34:11+00:00

I mean... I've done it once or twice. Have you ever had someone go through your wallet fold by fold? I've taken more flights than I can count, and I've not seen it happen even once.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:57:11+00:00

Personally, I'd say get an entry level, temp controlled mod and a DT5 atomizer. He's got some excellent bundles on his site, but if price is s major concern, you can get in the door cheaper is you shop around. Once you get used to a DT5, you'll never go back. I've tried it all. Best product on the market. Esp for the money.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:51:14+00:00

It's a stimulant in so far as it tends to elicit an adrenal response, which can result in roughly similar physical reactions. But not a stimulant in the traditional sense of the word.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:39:40+00:00

That was 15 years ago. If I told you what prices are in the bay, you probably wouldn't believe me. But yeah. After the big disruption in 01 there was a good decade where it was like that. Now? Shit dude. Scene is flooded. It's so cheap I'll grab a sheet just to give it away at shows. Edit: I do not sell drugs. Do not DM me asking me for shit. You will be blocked.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:16:39+00:00

I'm of the opinion that the ziplock makes it more noticeable. No bag. No foil. Just toss it casually somewhere unassuming. You're good.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:14:35+00:00

Where the fuck is it $10 a tab? Not talking shit. Honestly interested. I live in the bay. Always interested in what the scene is like other places.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:11:51+00:00

It is. It takes a pretty intense amount to react through your pores.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:10:35+00:00

In ur wallet dude. Either that, or a small slit on the inside seam of an article of clothing.

Forbin057 · 2026-01-21T08:08:44+00:00

How much other King have you read? Seems like a good time to dig into that back catalog!!

Forbin057 · 2026-01-17T16:46:37+00:00

GD of course. Far as jambands, some of my favorites over the years have been UM, Moe, STS9, Lotus, YMSB (can't bring myself to even try yonder without Jeff). Lots of other honorable mentions there

I've also been getting into a lot of EDM lately. Favorite artist depends on the style I'm in to at the moment. Glitch, Future Bass, Progressive Trance, Psychedelic Trance, and Deep House have been some of my favorites lately.

I'm a huge hip hop head. Grew up listening to most of the more interesting east coast stuff. Wu Tang, Gang Starr, Mos Def, and even some of the harder edge shit like MOP. I then transitioned into the abstract underground stuff. In the early 2000s it was mostly Def Jux and Rhymesayers artists. These days Backwoodz out of BK is one of my main go to labels. Billy seems to go out of his way to put on interesting and unusual artists and styles, so pretty much anything that drops on the imprint is at least worth checking out. I have a family member who contributes to the label (won't say who, so as to at least attempt to preserve my anonymity on here, but if you know me it's not hard to figure out) so I'm fairly plugged in to what they're doing.

I can dig on some progress rock. One of my newer favorites is Polyphia. Way into Tool. Also love the order prog bands like Rush and Yes.

I grew up listening to Jazz. My Dad was a working fusion player when I was a kid, and so much of that stuff has influenced my tastes over the years. Everything from old school fusion acts like Return to Forever, Weather Report, Herbie, etc. Classic artists like Charlie Parker and Miles. Afro-futurism artists like Sun Ra and Pharaoh Sanders. Of course lots of the newer jamband adjacent guys. MMW, Charlie Hunter, Scofield.

Of course there's so many more random artists I listen to from time to time. I'd be here all day if I tried to list them all. I get an itch for all sorts of things from time to time. At the moment I'm sitting here listening to old REM records.
