taking mescaline Explanation: Mescaline is a psychedelic drug, somewhat similar to LSD. It would be more associated with “flower-children”, hippies etc and pacifism (unlike booze/alcohol). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescaline -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2012-03-04 09:40:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Dropping" just means "taking" or "using".
