Famous quotes containing the words psychedelic and/or drugs:

    “Nobody stopped thinking about those psychedelic experiences. Once you’ve been to some of those places, you think, “How can I get back there again but make it a little easier on myself?””
    —Jerry Garcia (1942–1995)

    “Razors pain you;
    Rivers are damp;
    Acids stain you;
    And drugs cause cramp.
    Guns aren’t lawful;
    Nooses give;
    Gas smells awful;
    You might as well live.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
