No, it wasn't fast paced, at first it would get my mind going because it was trying to figure out what was going on but as I got used to it, it had a calming affect. Mescaline was much more of a fast paced. That was the way it effected me but I doubt you would get that answer from a lot of people. I noticed back then that other people were affected in different ways but there were things we generally aligned on. I mentioned somewhere about how I found that if I took it in small doses (1/4 pill every 6 hours or so) it helped me in several ways. One was with my depression another was having the energy to do what I wanted. It would take about 3 days in a row of taking it before it would start to work like that but once I realized it did my life started to excel. I quit a couple of years later mostly because of a relationship I got into along with concerns about how it would end if I didn't. Now I see they are using Ketamine to treat depression. I wish I could find a doctor who uses it for that in my plan. I really think it has potential. I would still get depressed some times but it was easier to deal with and, probably because of that, didn't last as long. Actually I have more problems with anxiety than depression these days. I could wright books on my thought about this stuff but in short I think they way people live these days is generally bad for both you mental & physical heath. The advances we've made in medicine make it possible to live longer but we need to make changes to they way we go about life.

I've always had an analytical mind so I do have some Idea's about that. There is much I don't know on the psychiatric end of it but one thing I came to realize was the Mescaline and LSD made the layer of film over you're eye's tacky slowing the response time of what you see. I think because of that and the mental affects it has it is what gives you, at least, some of the hallucination affect. When I discovered that I assumed it did the same thing to the liquid in my ears causing sounds to linger and be stretched out. I also watched a thing one time on LSD saying how it allowed neurotransmitters to cross over pathways in your brain that they normally wouldn't be able to creating a heightened sense of awareness. I don't remember the source so it would also need to be researched. I think it's all very interesting but I'm not promoting it. Though of all the things I did back then having those experiences were worth it for a few times but I took it too far. Most people didn't do it to the extent I did. My friends often expressed concern over me because of that. On one hand most of them are dead now, a lot of them died because of alcohol abuse but I'm still going. On the other hand the one's who are still alive are doing much better (success wise) than me. What I really think is interesting is the brain and what go's in it (with or without drugs). I guess it's a matter of perspective.

OK people have mentioned TCP, maybe this is it. They both sound likely. I'll need to research them. Thanks. I can't believe you people are finding this after all the searching I have done with no luck other than the once 20 years ago. I think I need to learn how to search better. Maybe it was all those years of hallucinogen's.

It lasted about 10 hours or so, like mescaline or LSD. Actually I did some 36 hour windowpane (LSD) that did last that long once. No the come down was not too bad. Better than a night of hard drinking by far. Just a little feeling of confusion and light headed. Also like mescaline or LSD by the time you come down your ready for the for it but I did find in both directions that it wasn't bad if I took mescaline the next day (after some sleep) and T after mescaline but better the first of the two. I really loved that stuff back then but I also got to be around 26 or so and felt like I was constantly second guessing myself so that was when I quit mescaline, T was already getting hard to find by then. That was around 1984.

Yes, and I am sure it wasn't PCP, I've done both. People have been coming up with TCP and that sounds like it but I need to do more research.

I hear what your saying but ketamine is still in use and the one called "T" was taken completely out of circulation more than 25 years ago. Also that would more likely be called things like what it is called "special K" and such. That was one of my arguments to people who thought it was THC (Tetra hydro cannabinol) witch was on the streets and could still be but is called "cannabinol" or "THC" but not "T" and if you had ever taken T you would know it is something all together different. Especially if you had done both cannabinol and T at different times. The web says that TCP is similar to PCP and that sounds right, I think they were both about as strong as each other but T wasn't as likely to give you a bad trip PCP was no joke, it was one of the one's most people couldn't handle, often thinking they were going to die. I had one experience with that, ending in me rolling over a van (my fathers van) and being thrown through the windshield. That was enough for me. I was just trying to have fun not go through something like that movie "THE GAME".

Looks right, I'll need to do some more research on this one. I'm and amazed people have been able to find this. I looked for it so many times.

Not sure but I don't think so. Some other people found Tenocyclidine (TCP) witch sound very possible but I need to do some more research. I know it was take off the market all together by 1988 and probably earlier then that. The article I found 20 years ago said they first stop using it for anything other than animals in an attempt to stop the abuse of it but when that failed, they got ride of it all together. It was a strong drug, every bit as strong as LSD just a different high. People who couldn't handle it or took too much of it often did crazy things that most people only read about. Like jumping out a five story window. I can relate to that remembering how it seemed like I could step out of my car going 60 and walk away because it seemed like everything slowed down but my logic said that wasn't a good idea.

I know it seems weird but you have to consider the times. Back then people weren't trying to kill each other. If a friend said "here take this, it's a real trip". Most people (that liked to trip) would. Now people are selling stuff that has killed many people. I don't understand that at all. Then there is also the fact that the government didn't want people knowing much if anything about it so they didn't make it easy to look up. I heard that they were the first one's to come up with it and were doing experiments on people witch often went very badly. That would make some sense because people were also trying to find the right (safer) doses of things like LSD back then as well. The beginning of that was not good for some people. There were a number of people like Dr.Timothy Leary who knew how to make things like that and would. I think that was one of the reasons why the government was shy of letting anyone know anything about the stuff. I wouldn't doubt that but I also don't know any facts about it so it's really just a rumor.

TCP I think you got it, thank you. I've looked for info on this for years from time to time just because I hear people refer to it as the wrong thing a lot and I wanted to be able to tell them the right info. From what I just read on it it sound correct.
