its really hard to beleive anything history tells us...

Nick told me they were 300 mics of LSD ...... they are still my favorite!{most educational}

Where did you get this very specific information?

I'm inclined to think that the orange sunshine rumors are largely the good-ole' days syndrome. ALD-52, again according to Ott, is virtually indistinguishable in terms of effect from LSD. Given the extreme importance of set and setting, I think if users are primed to think this is "special acid", this is likely to contribute to a good time.

I took a lot of Orange Sunshine in the early '70s although my first experience was with "Purple Flats" that was, as the name implies, flat purple discs. I only took a half and remember it being very mellow. Acid was only a dollar a tab back then as opposed to a whole ten dollars for a "lid" (sandwich bag) of stem strewn, seedy pot. Four Junior High kids could get off for milk money. One memorable experience was at a Who Concert at Anaheim Stadium (1971?) where representatives of the "The Sunshine Express" moved through the crowd handing it out for free. Later experiences with OS were accompanied by stomach cramps and teeth grinding that I had heard was because of contaminants such as speed and strychnine. The only unpleasant experience I can recall was at the Laguna Canyon Experience Christmas 1970 and although The Brotherhood Of Eternal Love dropped from a plane the infamous "Prayer Cards" with a tab of OS attached, I had taken, possibly, "Window Pane" (small gelatin squares) before I got there. I had only taken a quarter and was mildly and pleasantly buzzed as was the intention. My bad trip only started when I smoked some very strong hash and proceeded to get lost in the crowd. This was my last LSD experience until 1975 when again I took a small amount of Window Pane in the snowy wilds of Oregon. If not for being anxious about reliving the Laguna experience it would have been fine. It should be noted that I only ever took a half or quarter tab and hence never lost complete touch with reality. My visuals were only of real objects melting, growing, breathing, etc and the come-on was always accompanied by uncontrollable laughter. This might help to confirm the dosage/ setting comments. My present day experiences with marijuana are the same. By the way, I've never had a flashback although I sometimes get butterflies in the stomach reliving the memories!

Can anybody confirm the speed/strychnine thing or more info on The Sunshine Express?

DOB would have taken more than 24 hours to wear off. You may be referring to something sold as "STP", which was indeed DOB.
