May 24, 2024 – when Slick finally accepted her need to embrace sobriety, help came in the unlikely form of fellow musical icon David Crosby. Crosby had his own battles with addiction, with cocaine and heroin being a particular favourite of his, before embarking upon his own recovery.
Despite her sobriety and appreciation for the help of David Crosby, Slick also offered some advice for any budding musicians hoping to experiment with psychedelics. “When I was doing a lot of acid,” she shared, “set and setting were important. You don’t take acid in the middle of Harlem, for instance. You take it out in the mountains or the prairie. Too many people collected in one place is not a good place for acid.”
LSD provided Slick with the inspiration for some of her best love tracks, but the 84-year-old is quick to note, “I couldn’t take acid now. I’d turn on the news and probably kill myself.” Presumably, though, the news was not overly inspirational back in the 1960s either – so maybe just avoid the world of psychedelics if you are prone to watching the news on an evening.
