I meant: for kids who did drugs in ‘70s and ‘90s, this wouldn’t be a particularly crazy resume.
At raves in the mid-‘90s, kids at raves would literally ask each other “What’s your menu?” meaning “What drugs have you done tonight?” It wasn’t uncommon, by time of the afterparty, to have done 5+ drugs just in one night. Opium wasn’t common, but turned up once in a while, and there were a bunch of other drugs commonly done that aren’t even on this list.
The last year I went was the first time it seemed like LA people and startup CEOs were starting to show up in numbers, which was changing the vibe.
Also, there started to be a lot more photos and videos posted online. I wasn’t trying to have my employees find video of me four days into smoking crystal and candy-flipping, dancing at a rave camp.
Matt Taibbi has taken a weird journey after his me-too moment. I seem to only catch him these days on NewsMax, where he’ll sit next to a psycho and not contest them when they’re spouting conspiracy theories.
I get that he wants to work, but he’s used there as a weapon against the libs (whom I also can’t stand) and doesn’t open his mouth against the right in these forums.
I used to follow him closely and was a fan, but getting me-too’d seems to have broken him a bit.
There was also hippie-flipping: mushrooms and E.
