Josh Brolin Reflects on LSD, Youth, and Music

Josh Brolin, in his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, shared memories from his new memoir about his early experiences with LSD at age 13. He humorously recounted a positive initial trip where he conversed with a 'wise' and 'caressing' fireplace, attributing some form of wisdom to the experience. However, a subsequent trip on the same day turned unpleasant, lacking the 'nice conversation' he had earlier. Despite acknowledging the developmental risks of psychedelic use at such a young age, Brolin jokingly cautioned young viewers against LSD use, stating, 'Do not do LSD, children.' His early experimentation was linked to his time with the 'Cito Rats' surf gang and later led to involvement with the punk rock band 'Rich Kids on LSD', highlighting a tumultuous youth marked by curiosity and recklessness.
