my brother attended this hippy fest.  I wonder what would happen if you ingested 14,000 hits of acid at once.  He's going to do a lot of jail time for this.

Man busted for large amout of LSD 
 
SCHENECTADY - An Oregon man is sitting in a Schenectady County jail cell after being arrested over the weekend at the Camp Bisco Music Festival.

There were thousands of music lovers on hand for the three-day festival in Mariahville and police say Jonathan Taylor had more than enough LSD to go around -- about 14,000 hits of acid. The Portland man is charged with three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, two of which are felonies.

"We're not sure how he got it over the check points, but he did. That's why security is here to ride around and the attendees too. They come here to have a good time. They don't need that kind of stuff," Bill Potter said.

Potter's family runs Indian Lookout Country Club. This is the second year they've hosted the Camp Bisco Music Festival. He says on Saturday night, the last night, some alert concert goers and some quick action by his security staff helped nab Taylor.

"We went down. When we found him he had these little things, what looked like papers, looked like art work. Come to find out they were acid," Potter said.

Potter says security escorted Taylor off the grounds and handed him over to state police.

After checking his car, police say they found 14,000 hits of LSD along with $17,000 in cash.

The allegations of trying to get others tripping on acid earned this Oregon man a trip to the county jail.

"Don't like it, that's what we try to stop it. Someday my kids might be up here and that guy could be trying to sell that stuff to my kids," Potter said.

Taylor is being held at the Schenectady County Jail without bail.
