30. The Psilocybin cubensis mushroom is everywhere there's a cow or horse pasture in Florida.

Grows on cow or horse poop and is very easy to identify once you’ve seen it.

We could have given the Pranksters and their Acid Tests a run for their money with our ‘sroom parties back in the early 70’s.

They almost always had a big pot of ‘sroom juice brewing at the free concerts Tom Petty’s bandmate threw on his family’s property east of Gainesville. Saw a lot of great southern rock bands there before they became famous.

I wonder if anybody here attended some of these unforgettable events and can help me remember some of the crazy stuff that happened?
