What was the first album that you ever heard while High?
Mine was the Soft Bulletin by the Flaming Lips.

What a totally great experience. That is the perfect album to listen to while high.

Another great "high" album is Sarah McLachlan: Remixed. I don't really like her music normally but that album just rules when you're turned on.

1. See I know you're lying
Edited on Fri Oct-08-04 01:31 AM by Moonbeam_Starlight
b/c if you really WERE high you wouldn't be able to remember it!

Just kidding. Mine was Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd. DAMN I was fucked up. Then I decided to do some old Pink Floyd and listened to the Dark Side of the Moon stoned. Then The Wall stoned.

I wanted to kill myself after all that. Talk about a depressing trip.

2. Yeah, Floyd. Good one
Edited on Fri Oct-08-04 01:33 AM by Mojambo
I've never listened to Pink Floyd high.
I'm gonna give that one a shot for sure.

4. Oh geez
I thought it was a stoner REQUIREMENT to listen to Pink Floyd high. Damn.

I swear I cannot listen to any song from the Momentary Lapse of Reason album without feeling weird. And kinda zoning out. LOL! And wanting cookies!

9. I listened to Floyd a lot when I was in highschool
But I wasn't smoking back then.

I didn't start until I was 25.

13. Shit
my entire last semester of my senior year of high school is a stoned blur. I have done it only three times SINCE then, but that semester, I am not sure if I smoked nine or 48 times. Lost count.

I had a crush on a guy who smoked it and sold it, thus easy access for the first and last time in my life.

34. "Meddle" is worse.
I spent FOREVER trying to figure out what was said in that first song.

Never did either. A high is a terrible thing to waste...

8. I prefer drunkenness with Led Zeppelin
Funny thing...in college I really got into Led (I was in college in the late 80s, early 90s, I was being all retro) and my boyfriend at the time said he knew when I was listening to LEd while getting ready in the morning because my clothes were a tad bit crazy and my makeup was all heavy and my lipstick really dark. Led does strange things to me.

7. If you're going to do acid....
Try Jean Michael Jarre's "Zoolook." Better still, just get your own set of keyboards and a strobelight....don't forget your trip towel...gotta have one of those.

11. Sigh
I missed the acid window when I was young and irresponsible. I can't imagine doing it now.

Too late. Oh well. Mr. Moonbeam did it several times and loved it, except the time his buddy dropped some in his beer and he didn't know it.....you don't want to drop acid unawares...he freaked out because all the lights were melting.

27. I'm glad you asked that!!
I haven't tripped in over a decade, mind you. A trip towel is simply a bath-sized towel worn around the neck while tripping. It comes in handy when on acid because it gives you something to fondle in order to relieve some of the anxiety...or whatever you want to call that extra energy you get while under the influence.

My tripping buddies and I all used to put towels around out necks right after we dropped...we also used to buy large quantities of salted peanuts (in the shell) to eat. The post-trip clean-up was extremely amusing...especially if there was any marijuana left over.

Oh the eighties!!!!!

10. ahahahahaha! damn did you just start?
Edited on Fri Oct-08-04 01:37 AM by mlle_chatte
i don't remember the first album, but 'are you experienced' was pretty new whem my friend, kathy, and I dropped acid, went to Juanita beach and came back home to listen to it for about 5 hours.

and in those days, it was hard. hard work. Ya had to get up every so often and do a little thing I like to call 'turn the record over'. Barring the full task of 'turning the record over' you had to at least get up and 'restart the album' very tough on acid.

12. Something my best friend at the time liked,
probably Marilyn Manson... or maybe Rammstein... or maybe it was Ozzy Osbourne. Memory fails.

The first thing I listened to on my own was probably a Beatles record.

18. Psychic TV & the White Album

It was about 15 years ago First time listening to both (can't remember what the Psychic Tv was but it had a cover of Good Vibrations on it) and the first time I was ever exposed to psychedelics - very weird experience.

By the way - no need for any extra help while listening to Soft Bulletin - In my opinion the only truly psychedelic classic in the last ten years or so.

:freak:

25. The first time I got really, really high was to see A Clockwork Orange
And it was great. Absolutely great.

I know there were others, but the first album I remember listening to high was Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, followed by an Esther Phillips LP.

My early tribbin' favorites were two Stones releases, Through a Glass Darkly and Sticky Fingers, and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Of course.

hehe. Actually, I think I do remember. It was "Them Changes" by Buddy Miles. I liked his version of Down by the River a lot better than Neil Young's.

Edited on Fri Oct-08-04 08:47 AM by rppper
my oldest brother got me stoned at 12 in his apartment in houston. i will always remember the last lingering note from "a day in the life", the cacaphony of noise at the end of "i am the walrus" and the "look around, round, round, round" from "dear prudence"

first LSD album was Judas Priest"s "screaming for vengeance".....i am forever scar ridden mentally from "bloodstone" and "hellion/electric eye"......awsome album

43. "Electric Music for the Mind & Body"
By Country Joe & the Fish (that was the good pot).

Lots of "acid" included scant quantities of LSD. But a really good purple barrel was ingested the day The White Album came out--and a local FM station played the whole thing. Yow.

45. 2 specific songs come to mind....
...one being Crystal Method's "High Roller" - not a big techno listener, but this one really came alive to me at the time. I still love that song. And Tool's "Pushit" - a damn-near 10 minute song that took me to another world. Good memories.
