I worked as a hospice nurse in the 1990s ... marinol was fairly effective treating some of the symptoms of AIDs ...other than that I "got nuthin'"

It comes in a little syringe, it’s black as tar. I put a grain of rice sized amount in a gel capsule and off the bed I go. Don’t get any kind of high off it though.

I grew up in the valley about the same time, and I never heard of such a thing. During that time, I remember folks doing lots of downers, but to me Nuggets were always nice buds.

And I also wondered what ever happened to them, because after the time period you mentioned they just disappeared.

The THC I knew in New York came in pink capsules, and I think the powder inside was white.

They were called "Tab TH" or "THC" and the clear capsule was "Crystal Tea" while the red capsule were "Strawberry TEA" Its PCP! But it was marketed in the 70s as "synthetic THC", thus somehow connecting it to the safer cannabis!

It was mixed with cannabis to "boost" it. "Angel dust" is identical to "monkey Tranquilizer" all PCP versions.

They ran about a buck in 1970. Within a year or two everyone knew this wasn't some laboratory version of a cannabis extract but really a nasty chemical created to knock out a monkey!!

No one since the late 70s refers to PCP as "THC"
"Tab Tea"..."chrystal Tea" ..seems like branding played a role in that period and drug users call it whatever it really is today. Unless they lied and someone dies!! Risky behavior is for those that don't value their own lives. That's what I remember learning back then! Hope we all did!

There was a lot of garbage sold as real whatever then. Yellow tablets on the street in Ohio back then were most likely PCP mixed with who knows what else.

It was PCP had it tested many times through mail in in High Times Magazine. They gave you a code number. I must have done it 500 times always the same. Loved it.

yet won't this have people looking for these? PCP has always been dangerous to life and physical and mental well-being if I remember right about PCP...

I do. I loved them. In fact, I saw the Stones at MSG on one of those.


If, in fact, it was PCP, I guess that was the "good stuff" as they tell it now.
