Haha, Grace's attempt of spiking Nixons tea with LSD

[Michael]

Haha, Got this straight from IMDB.com, go Grace =)

Slick once revealed that she, along with Yippie leader Abbie Hoffman, once tried to attend a White House tea for graduates of Finch College, where Tricia Nixon once attended. While at the tea, Slick intended to sneak up next to President Nixon and spike his tea with LSD.. The secret service recognized them and escorted them off the grounds before the attempt could be made.

[Memorabilia]

Haha ^^
It's a shame she didn't make it

[Guest]

Its to bad that no one has tried to do that with Bush.

[troebuck]

Read all about the story in Grace's memoir, "Somebody To Love?"

[The Acid Queen]

^^Yeah, it's funniest in her book.

[crazybrain]

Yeah, that would have been great.

[Don Rico]

A great account of this incident (with photo!) can be found in the Abbie Hoffman autobiography "SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE".

Tha don says "check it out!"

[Pooneil]

I wonder what would have happened to Nixon if it had worked?

[The Acid Queen]

he prob. would have had a great trip.

[jonestown]

Nixon was usually drunk and/or high on pills. There would have been some interesting drug interactions for sure.

[nickwishkah]

Hey everyone, I am back again! Well, Ruth, in answer to your question, I believe that Nixon may have found himself in the midst of a psychedelic experience. Probably with lysergic visual hallucinations and perhaps auditory hallucinations...but unless somebody succeeds (hint, hint) then i guess we will never know.

[Pooneil]

Well, I essentially figured that ...I mainly was speculating on whether or not he would have had a significant change of character or attitude towards drugs or other related ideas of that era if he had experienced the LSD.

[nickwishkah]

yeah, i know. i was just being stupid. what's been going down since i was gone?

[Pooneil]

eh, not much, just your local chit-chat about this and that and more specifically Jefferson Airplane (who would've thought!?), heh heh. Glad to see you back.

[nickwishkah]

I'm sure you didn't even notice! But it's quite nice to be back. Who would've thought that internet message boards could be so desired as friends...or maybe it's the virtual projection of other personalities onto the board...and how are you doing ruth?
