I was more off my nut than the punters I was serving behind that bar.
Microdots were mental. Remember dropping two one night and taking a shower before I had to go to work at the Hippo fully clothed. Then suddenly thinking to myself while washing my hair, What the fooking hell am I doing!
We remember you don’t worry, your the one that used to give change of a twenty when we all gave you a tenner.....:hehe:

Vicious things, i swear that they were more about personality, if someone was already a stress head etc. I've seen people have a right turn on those things.

I packed the sniff in after spending about £500 on flake one weekend a couple of years ago on my mates 40th birthday weekend. Along with my gambling addiction I was spending money at a rate of knots far beyond what I was earning. Id feel guilty about wasting so much on my vices that I’d go overboard, spending on the family to deny I had a problem - Nice house, Nice clothes, holidays.etc - I was spending like a man who earned 5 times what earned.
I’ve jacked it all in now and finally getting somewhere with my debt but I don’t go out much anymore because I know after a few beers I’ll just make a load of wrong decisions.
Good man, well done. I was one of those kids on the fringe, loved it, but new my limits and when not to. Got married quite yound as well, that helped. Keep on the 'good' road mate, you'll get the reward through your kids.

What clubs/pubs in Cardiff were playing rave music?
For me it lost a bit of the magic when nightclubs became mainstream for the scene. I never felt easy in pubs and clubs with bouncers etc. Warehouses and fields were where it was for me.

Hippo club early 90s
Emporium was alright
Had some good nights in the students uni too.
Time Flies then Lamerica were always good nights.

Re: But that's okay 'cause we're all sorted out for E's and wizz
We always started the night in Martha's in Swansea, but I never felt at ease in there. Not sure if was a football thing. Other pubs, clubs we'd go to, were Lakota in Bristol and some gaff in Neath in a side street (can't think of the name?)
Like I said early, I was happiest in a field or warehouse. We'd travel for hours chasing the dream. Seemed to end up in and around Oxford a lot. Up as far as Derby and Nottingham too.

I remember the first time I did mushrooms. There were three of us, and two of us were mushroom virgins. Anyway, the seasoned veteran who was pushing 30 (we were 16 ish) brewed up a load that we'd picked earlier. We drank down this horrid brew mixed with tea and squash! Nothing happened for hours and me and my mate were beginning to think the whole thing was nonsense.
Two hours later when we decided to go and watch the local rugby team the shrooms kicked in big time. Non stop laughter in the stand earned us some furious looks and comments from the local die hards. The buzz lasted for hours. I tried to straighten my self out and thought I'd succeeded until I walked through the door of my parents house :hehe:

Yeah Dave and Craig Bartlett then they fell out I believe and Craig used to run the Lamerica nights.
Think they’ve patched things up now.

A place called Valentino’s was the first I went too, it eventually became the toucan club on wombany street opp welsh club, which also had a few good nights early on before Tom toms, club metro and all that. Had the odd good night in panama joes too, huge club on queens street. Sasha played there once early 90’s it was packed.

Used to love mushrooms, used to pick loads in a field off to one side of the Garth, totally different to acid, nice and mellow with a decent energy to it. Never had a bad time on them but would stay away from the city/clubs when doing them.

The best place I found for picking them was at the end of Swansea road where it joined the A465 just below Baverstocks. Cross the 465 jump the fence and walk about 200 metres. Filled a carrier bag within 20 minutes.

I took some at Glastonbury, 1986
Sat in the tent for an hour then went outside and did an impromptu dance around a fire for a load of bikers
They were laughing their heads off but I was totally into it
Then I came down and went back to the tent with my mates and we laughed our heads off looking up at the skies till the sun came up then went to bed

We would take them as teenagers then go hang around in a park. Town centre was a no go with all the people and bright lights. One night we decided to venture down town for kicking out time at the local nightclub and this bullying twat who was after my mate over some girl gave him a slap and my mate banged the back of his head on concrete. Last thing you need when tripping. Back of my mates head was pissing with blood but he couldn’t feel a thing. Kept asking if he was bleeding? “Nah, you’re alright”. He should have gone to the hospital really or at least gone home but he was enjoying the trip too much and not even some prick punching his head in could spoil it. :he he:

There’s a farm near gurnos we used to get ours. Something more fulfilling about picking your own drugs instead of buying them. :hehe:

Not sure if this is still the law, or if it was an old wives tale in the first place? You can consume shrooms legally as long as you consume them on the field where you picked them!
