People were generally told that ';T'; was THC, the active ingredient in pot. In truth, 99.99% of the time, what was sold as T was really PCP, a very strong drug. Actually, it is horse tranquilizer. It would really do a number on you and could mess you up.What was crystal tea a white powder drug of the 70's %26amp; 80's?
pcp
Crank is a cheap form of meth that is snorted and differs slightly from straight meth.

  3. Tried it once in the 70's but I'd never do it again. I don't even know what happened while I was on it. Also broke up with the guy that I was living with that gave it to me. Worse experience ever!!!

  4. Tried it in High School on the school bus. It came in foil. The high was like acid or mescaline? Don't remember much.

  6. Sorry about your accident in the 1st comment.I was heavy into drugs during the 70's and did crystal tea alot.we would smoke it plain in a glass pipe, lace it with weed in a pipe or joint and smoke it or snort it. Most of the time we would end doing all 3 choices thru out the night.
    We were buying what we considered grams for 35.00
    so it was reasonable to buy for us.It seemed to be more like a mellowing drug for us us unlike acid. I am glad that I survived the 70's !! I am now 60 !!
    Peace To all

  7. There was also another form called tab tea, very small pill, does anyone know what that may have been. I did this in 1975(8th grade) 1976(ninth grade) don't remember much about the experience, but was definitely a more mellow effect
