i later suspected she might have done them with one of my friends in san francisco after i went to texas that summer. returned to texas in the fall she started doing psychedelic drugs with someone there. went home to illinois at the end of the summer.Īfter p.j. and i were planning a trip to mexico together. orals at the university, i had two poems published in the sewanee review, and p.j. largely to myself, and it seemed a happiness unlike any had i had ever known. time magazine called it “the summer of love”. jack went back to texas and then shortly afterwards p.j. she was a psychiatric patient, already taking lots of pills. another friend got sort of sick from the experience.

we tripped in a grocery store in the city, and then one of my friends told me later that that night the characters in the novel he was writing came alive in his head and began to interact. we got messed up at a party in a barn down the coast where i think the band blue cheer was playing. jack had some good smoke, and we smoked with a couple of friends of mine. arrived and i didn’t think of asking for any. jack came to california at one point and must have had some, but that was before p.j. i asked another friend to help us, but it never came through. came to california, and i was in love with p.j., and she liked to smoke it. I rarely smoked it after that for quite some time. sometime soon after that she brought two marijuana cigarettes from the city, and we smoked them with two of our friends. she said, “why didn’t you just get high instead?” i didn’t understand what she was saying. one time we were hiking in the berkeley hills, and i told her about getting drunk the night before. she ended up living in the haight-ashbury. the next spring a girl friend’s cousin came down from red bluff and moved to san francisco. I didn’t try the drug at that time then i moved to california. i would think of that years later when i was tripping, and the people gathered around a fountain at berkeley, eating their lunches, reminded me of frogs, began to look like frogs, as if they had just naturally gravitated to the water. they asked me to drive them around town in my convertible, and they saw people that looked like giraffes and jack and his friend were laughing hysterically. jack was doing the mescaline too, and one evening at my friend’s apartment i encountered jack and another friend tripping, although i hardly knew what tripping was. later i would flash on that as i thought of mahler as sort of like motion picture scores, with great dramatic effects, broadly painted. i think he also told me that the music he enjoyed most on the mescaline was surprisingly not mozart or bach, but mahler. my friend told me quite a bit about the drug, but the main thing i remember is that he said that it was a lot like dante’s divine comedy which i had been studying, that he rose through rings of light and had a kind of vision of God. there was no reason to think i might be at the time. he had been taking mescaline, and while he wasn’t recommending that i try it, he did caution me of the danger if one happened to be latently schizophrenic.

you could buy them over the counter at the drugstore, and sometimes i used those with alcohol. i discovered a mild tranquilizer, something for nerves. i would have a drink and then try to disguise my breath. i drank pretty much every weekend, and sometimes i drank when i had to perform, like read a paper out loud in class or lead a seminar. i had been using alcohol for my four years there. I was a senior in college when i first heard about illegal drugs.
