and trying all the drugs I didn't try when I was younger.
In my experience, they're all overrated - the occasional aspirin or NSAID being the exception.

Indeed. The mid/late 70s is a bit of a blurr to this waterfowl. Given the opportunity to do any of it again, I would pass. Except maybe for Peyote - I might give that a go again if the timing and surroundings were attractive. Might.
I expect if I were to actually try those, it would be because the path forward really didn't exist anymore.
