LSD was every where, I was young as I would graduate in 1978. But I do remember my dad talking all about it to my brothers. One going into the navy and one into the marines because of Vietnam. My dad was retired navy and doing civil service at fort Carson Army base. SO LSD was the up evil for my family from 1968 into the Gas wars, me thinking turning 16 and getting to drive would be great, oh yes just to wait in line for hour and hours to get gas for my parents to get to work.
