I had traveled to Colorado from Virginia as a young man. I got off the light rail with a guy I had started a conversation with, a knowledgeable local guy talking about all sorts of stuff. After he followed me onto a bus I realized he was up to something, possibly nefarious. He was an older-ish guy, but smaller than me, so I wasnt worried about that. But sure enough after talking about the bar and drug scene in Denver (thats where I was btw) he offered me some "acid". Now I figured it was bull shit, and I expressed that to him, but he wanted 40$ for a couple hits he put on a receipt, from a visine bottle... he explained that it was a clevar way to transport liquid acid, which i couldnt disagree with necessarily. Anyhow, it was only visine... but as a short tour guide it was worth it anyway.

Edit: that isnt the "craziest", maybe, but it was interesting.
