Back in the 80s and 90s I had some friends (acquaintances, really, um, distant ones. I mean, I’d never have gone to a Grateful Dead show with these strange folk or anything like that) who would ingest various pharmaceuticals. Some of those chemicals would result in powerful hallucinations (or so I’m told), and a rather common descriptor (one of many) was ‘tripping balls’. This was to distinguish it, from, say, taking MDMA, which some long-lost cousins once referred to as ‘rolling’. (Or maybe it was ‘bowling’, my cousin Roman is such a card.) Anyway, the Free Association word was _mouldy bread_, which reminded me of mouldy rye bread–bread with a fungus on it, which is a suspect cause behind a lot of the Salem trial kerfuffle. Some of the recreational chemicals that my friend’s frend’s acquaintances would ingest were mushrooms. ETA: This block is not in play; I missed the edit window on the above post ---
