In 1979, I found stamps and thought how helpful it would be if I pre-stamped some envelopes. I had unwittingly licked close to five hits of lysergic acid diethylamide 25 - more commonly refered to as LSD. Within minutes of wondering how helpful I was, I was asking myself if angels cut themselves shaving. The lights... it's all so beautiful, but I am so scared.

I was only 9 years old.

A family member had to sit on my chest for close to six hours, as they cried and screamed, asking for me to calm down.

I flew over L.A. that night.
