certainly not Owsley
Well, yes, "Owsley" was sheer branding, and no, I can't even recall the claim being made for windowpane. Nor, for that matter, can I recall it being made for "orange sunshine" (AKA "orange microtab"), a nasty little product--acid with attitude, not to mention what felt like (I am told) about seventeen different incompletely synthesized ergot alkaloids. Mind you, it did get a body off (I am told). The joke at the time (from the NatLamp, I think) was that two hits of the stuff would cause a vivid hallucination of Art Linkletter to appear floating in the air just outside one's dormitory window, beckoning irresistably, whispering over and over "You can fly...you can fly..."
cordially,

What are you talking about?
What bad trip? His show about kids saying the darndest things was loads of fun!
(Yeah, I know. His daughter did a pavement dive and the suicide was blamed on a bad acid trip.)

If I hallucinate....

Sorry...to me that would be...bad trip.

I have hallucinated
Compared to a couple of things I've "seen", Art Linkletter would be considered peaceful.

Re: that was thestrychnine that gave it bite
Yeah, that was widely said at the time. Certainly the little barrels could grab a feller by the throat and give him a good shaking. Yowza!

Strychnine in Sunshine?
Yeah, right. More urban legend, methinks.
Most of those things had Benzedrine (el cheapo) or some form of other amphetamine-like stimulant in it. Strychnine was not generally used. (Naturally, if you were a peyote fan, you had to beware of the natural strychnine in that, but I digress...).
