[kewlHandSherm]

After Con Air you can say what a long strange trip it's been.

[WizzyKalif]

lsd comes from a fungi on wheat. so thats natural bud

[SuperBenzid]

@WizzyKalif LSA comes from fungus on wheat not LSD. LSD comes from treating that fungus in a big complicated lab.

[CHILDRENOFBOBODOM]

[Fender574]

[52cranky]

jerry garcia was multi-talented

[rockinrafe]

@SoAPyiLLuSiONn666 The skeleton is actually signifying the fact that Jerry Garcia is missing the top knuckle of the right hand.

[KaptainKwasnik]

@rockinrafe naw it's flipping us off

[shanehenning26]

great song

[xJoeyFatex]

i love the fact my mom introduced me to this band.

[jan279]

Look closely at the skeleton's right hand...that's for 27 people!

[TheWeedEnthusiast]

AWWW YEAH! I AM SO HIGH RIGHT NOW! I AM THE WEED ENTHUSIAST!

[elvispresley718]

truckin is a term the vaudevillians used to use reagan knew about it that being said i just like this song

[Cacophonaut]

And stop anthropomorphising drugs, be more scientific. They aren't people. Try to understand more fully the pharmacology of the substances you consume. Like i said, I'm not anti-pot, I love cannabis, and I agree that it isn't particularly harmful, but its naturalness doesn't imply or cause its harmlessness. LSD (my drug of choice) is entirely synthetic, but also entirely harmless, at least on the biological level. Its phenethylamine cousin Mescaline IS natural, and is also biologically harmless.

[Bwolfspire]

@Cacophonaut Acid is probably the most dangerous drug you could ever use.  Litterally death is the norm for those who use. LSD is NOT safe.

[Cacophonaut]

@Bwolfspire Death is the norm? The only report of death from LSD is the near-mythical instance of a woman who allegedly took over 3000x the normal dose, and even that is disputed to be actually true. On top of that, it has never been shown to display even minor neurotoxicity in humans OR animals. The drug was used clinically for years in the treatment of mental illness and alcoholism, and not a single patient died. Please stop spreading misinformation.

[imjello1]

@Bwolfspire Marijuana, LSD, and pretty much any natural drugs are among the safest you can use i'm not going to argue with you because your just going to throw pointless ignorant comments but do your research if you wish. Alchohol is the only drug you can overdose on too, just a quick fact for ya ;)

[freecannabis453]

@imjello1 meth,heroin,coke alcohol is definitely not the only drug you can overdose on and you make the movement look bad by saying such lies alcohol is however the only drug whose withdrawal symptoms you can die from

[imjello1]

@freecannabis453 Thats what i meant asshole calm your boner, quick question you always take life so seriously? ;)

[freecannabis453]

@imjello1 hahahaha no just cant stand disinformation but if it was a mistake then thats cool that other dude is a retard tho lol

[rockinrafe]

@freecannabis453 heroin too i believe...



[ViSage814]

@imjello1 did you just call LSD a "natural" drug...? O_o I think Alcohol would be more of a natural drug... it's a natural byproduct of yeast. LSD is definitely made in a lab ^^

[imjello1]

@ViSage814 "pretty much all other natural drugs" isn't refering to lsd. nowhere did i say a chemically made drug is natural

[freecannabis453]

@Bwolfspire where did you get this information from it is entirely wrong

[DragonOfTheWest4841]

@Bwolfspire I'm still alive and runnin' well. Lying and hatred won't take you far in life.

[wharfrat10]

@Bwolfspire Death is the norm for the rest of us, too

[Cacophonaut]

Everything else doesn't have to be refined down or synthesized, actually. N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) occurs naturally, as does its 5-methoxylated sister (5-MeO DMT)...both can be got at by smoking plant material, but more often they are also synthesized artificially. Read some Shulgin, his opinion on the natural/man-made debate is the same as mine. I am not trying to suggest that weed is similar to coke or smack, ok? I'm pointing out that being "natural" is a facetious categorisation.

[EMS536]

thanks jerry-we'll miss you. but the music lives on!!!

[dpeab11370]

Puff puff...pass. Keep this joint burnin' and pass it to the next guy! :D~

[Cacophonaut]

Not that you were making that argument, but a lot of people do, and it seem to imply that natural drugs are better (or less harmful) than man-made ones, which is pretty dumb.

[Cacophonaut]

That whole "herb" thing kinda annoys me. I'm not anti-drug or anti-pot, its just the way people seem to see weed as "natural", and other drugs as "synthetic". Frankly, you are imbibing a diterpine molecule called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) when you smoke weed. Its the chemical which gets you high, just as it is when you IV diamorphene (heroin) or snort benzoylmethylecgonine (cocaine). At the molecular level on which these drugs exist, there is no distinction between natural and man-made.

[gurru1312]

@Cacophonaut ok well now your being ignorant and comparing marijuana with heroin and cocaine. yes everything we fucking consume at some point gets broken down to the molecular level no dur. weed is natural and yes the THC is awesome it makes me baked happy and seem to deal with my stresses alot better. Weed has so many other good "molecules" in it .......

[gurru1312]

@Cacophonaut also ive smoked acres of pot and no harm done its amazing how i can just pluck it off a plant and let it dry and smoke it. everything else has to be refined down or synthesized to be consumable and get the desired effect often having other ingredients...like for example i snort some cocaine .... im not just getting benzoylmethylecgonine im getting proably some gasoline, bleech , meth and anything else the dealer put in.... see what im getting at ?

[gurru1312]

@Cacophonaut i would highly suggest that you educate your self on drugs before trying to talk shit about my girl mary jane she has never hurt anyone and does not deserve to be treated like some floozy like cocaine or heroin or any drug for that matter. im not going to say i know everything about every drug but i know enough to say you sir are wrong... good day.

[charvesa]

One must tip their hat to the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - they play prominently in these lyrics.... they were the opening act first time I saw the Dead, and they dazzled the Dead big time. Big Time.

Viv Stanshall and the rest - gods.

[halestorm40]

Truckin like a buffalo, !!!!!!

[halestorm40]

What a long, strange trip it's been!!!!!

[Aerokii]

Never smoked pot in my life- barely even know what it smells like. But the Grateful Dead are still good. Some songs just speak to people, and I suppose this one likely did, given that it's an official national treasure.

[TimothyADonaghue]

Did you grow up inside a closet? Never tried toking some herb? Let loose a little... @Aerokii

[Aerokii]

@TimothyADonaghue It's also a matter of never having an opportunity. I have absolutely nothing against pot, rather, I find it far less dangerous than alcohol. Full support for legalization, I've just never tried it myself.

[wozniakjake]

@Aerokii i respect that you havent smoked but i cant think of one good reason for you not to try it. just an herb... grown from gods green earth :)

[thesingingteranodon1]

yes what a long strange trip its been!WOW!

[Django5198]

for fucks sake why is everyone saying that you will only like The Dead if you smoke pot? I was lovin' Grateful Dead years before I was smoking pot and I don't even smoke it that much!!!!

[rastagirliana]

@Django5198 exactly!!!!!!!!!! it annoys me when people say they can only enjoy reggae when they're high.

[lmlopessilva]

There is a very good movie related to this band. Please people see it : " the music never has stoped"

[smedleylt]

Everything going to be alright...if you don't believe me, listen to this song again.

[crue4229]

im high

[Grendelmonster8u]

So Google's logo today 9/16/11 is celebrating Albert Szent-Gyorgyi who discovered vitamin C and I immediately thought of this song's lyrics:

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?

She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same

Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine,

All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"

That's what music does to you. Lyrics get embedded in your brain..."what a long strange trip it's been..." indeed.

[MyTyler89]

@007dicktator I don't think I recall a m/o (microdot) I didn't like. I just made that abv. up. Right now. Oh, I hope I didn't think I liked you instead of them.- drippy shrooms, acid, bong hits in your snuggy in 90 degree weather, with the windows rolled up, hey man. kidding, catch the breeze?

[maxcady5]

@astrologyfox thumbs up for 'bong hits in a snuggie'

[quahog900]

@astrologyfox microdots? thought that old school

[astrologyfox]

Yeah, amen to that post. Well, I didn't stay in or put, in regard to the whores of my ex. I hate all of em, so...Oh, well. And, I can't wait to cash mine in too. In specs, I think I liked to get trucking' from now on, literally!

[simbatjk]

@kylewuzhur alright cool man jus making sure

[FullmetalXDAlchemist]

i heard this song in the movie "the music never stopped" it was a good movie about a man who has a tumor of some kind and he doesn't remember many stuff until the father puts his favorite music from 60's/70's and the son instantly remembers what he was doing during that time when he heard the song. "Trukin' " was one of his favorite. He said that the journey is the destination and that's what this song is about....love that movie

[iKadlecik23]

Love that Bluesy sound!!

[bolind2442]

roll 1 up and roll on......

[Gohot229]

This song was originally written in 1967 by Randy Mainer from Corona California. then I remember it being done by Greatful Dead in 68 or 69. So Randy never received squat for it, Jerry pretty much stole it. Any original member could tell you that it's the truth

From the psychedelic '60's to the corporate comtrolled crap of today- what a long strange trip it's been.
