purple haze

Originally meaning the hallucinogenic drug LSD. Active in micrograms (ug). A very powerful psychedelic drug. The typical dosage of LSD in one "Hit" is between 50 and 150 ug. Appropriate doses are generally viewed to be 1ug per 1kg of body weight.

LSD builds extreme tolerance quickly. Use must be spaced out by at least three days for the tolerance to go down enough to trip again, any sooner and there will be little to no effect. There is a cross-tolerance to Psilocybin, the chemical found in hallucinogenic mushrooms.

LSD was originally synthesized in 1938 by Albert Hofmann. It was not discovered to be a hallucinogen until April 16, 1943 after Albert Hofmann accidentally ingested a small amount. LSD did not appear on the streets until 1963. Before then, the experiences of LSD were restricted to chemists who could synthesize it from Ergot alkaloids derived from the rye Ergot fungus.

It was federally banned in the US in 1967, simply because the government was afraid of the alternative thought methods and "enlightenment" it created, believing it would incite rebellion among the general public. It is one of the safest drugs, legal or illegal, known to man. It is safer than aspirin or advil. So-called flashbacks are simply the result of post-traumatic stress disorder, and can happen without LSD use, mostly in wartime veterans.

The chemical name is d-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide. The term LSD is an acronym for the German name, Lyserg-Saeure-Diaethylamid.

Many people in modern days have begun using the word Purple Haze in reference to certain strains of cannabis. This is a misnomer, in reference to the original definition as stated above.

Purple Stuff

A "pro-relaxation" carbonated soft drink created by Funktional Beverages Inc.

The drink itself contains Rosehips Powder (10MG), Valerian Root (10MG), and L-Theanine (5MG) - all of which are reputable substances to facilitate a relaxed feeling, as well as supplementing dreams and dream creation.

With that said, the drink, in a sense, benefits the user in a way opposite to an "energy drink" such as Redbull, Rockstar, or Monster. Purple Stuff contains no caffeine.

The drink comes in three flavors. A grape flavor, a sort-of berry - fruit-punch flavor, and a lemon-lime flavor.

The valerian root can actually be tasted in each flavor - especially in grape. The lemon-lime is surprisingly smooth to drink, and the berry flavor falls somewhere in between.

The drink itself seems to only be sold at gas stations that get consistent business - AKA they've got the money to buy alternative drinks such as this.
Purple Stuff comes in purple and white 16OZ cans. The can itself is packaged to appeal to nerdy, pseudo drug-users. Most people have too much shame to actually drink it, and others would probably feel embarassed holding it in the store. All of which is too bad, as some professional text and a dark-colored can would make this could-be, legitimate drink accessible.

Yes. You can drink two or three of these and catch a buzz.
Here are some things to keep in mind and try for optimal results.

- Drink Purple Stuff after not sleeping for 24 (+) hours.
- Drink Purple Stuff on an empty stomach.
- Drink Purple Stuff after a meal.
- Drink Purple Stuff when you are well-rested and sober
- Drink Purple Stuff and smoke a bowl of weed.
- Drink Purple Stuff then drink a 16OZ energy drink
- Drink Purple Stuff when you are happy
- Drink Purple Stuff when you are anxious
- Drink Purple Stuff when down/depressed for any reason
- Drink Purple Stuff and go straight to bed
- Drink Purple Stuff and meditate
- Drink Purple Stuff and play video games

Purple Stuff can be purchased with food stamps, though it has "vitamins and supplements" in it - a reason energy drinks such as Monster and Rockstar aren't accessible by such means.
