I rented a room out to a guy who spent his summer savings on 2000 hits of acid he bought from a US preacher passing through. He was selling it for a living. I would not let him keep it in the house so he had it buried in the snow around town. In the spring when the snow melted he had a pile of the stuff to deal with so he got into it ,one a day for a week then seven at one shot. That did it he went up and never came down. He threw out all his possessions, nice cameras etc. and would sit all day in the bath tub. He stopped eating regular food saying honey had everything a body needs till I told him it had no vitamin C so he bought a case of oranges. Anyway he spooked my girlfriend so I had to run him off so I could get laid. The last thing I heard about him was that they put him in the nut house but he climbed over the wall and escaped.

LSD is very, very capable of frying brains. OOOPs TOOOO MUCH.

Single dose of LSD provides immediate and lasting relief from anxiety, study says. A clinical trial's encouraging results won US Food and Drug Administration breakthrough therapy status for an LSD formulation to treat generalized anxiety disorder, Mind Medicine Inc. announced Thursday.13 hours ago

The medical application is in smaller doses and the person is monitored. Don't be fooled anxiety can definitely happen when tripping hence the term 'bad trip'.

In the 70's had 3 doses of California Sunshine given to me in Morocco but waited until I hit Spain to try for the first time. I met a young American doctor in a park and we tripped together as I was pretty nervous about doing it alone. Ended up splitting the 3rd tab and tripped for 12 straight hours.

I don't trust the ingredients these days. Actually it was probably in the 90's early 2000's that acid was no longer good acid. Pity. LCD, Mushrooms, Thai Buddha Sticks, Good Hash and Hash Oil. Ah!!!!!!!! Those were the days.

I knew a guy like that on Maui once.  It did get him out of the draft.

Death stamp or miracle cure?

The real experts seem to think the latter:

Still waiting for the flashbacks they say we would get.

Lol, I suspect those flashbacks never really existed beyond recollections of the trip's visuals or impressions. By such a standard, everything in life is amenable to flashbacks. 

 

It's like cannabis leading to stronger drugs, crack babies, ex-cokeheads unable to ever again enjoy life ...

 

Meanwhile finasteride and antidepressants often do make patients impotent for life but they prefer to keep relatively quiet about it.

one day, maybe in 10-20-30 years they might suddenly find it might help depressed people that do not respond to meds...

In Australia in the 1970s I personally knew several people who had totally fried their brains from doing acid. No way could they function in the so called normal world any longer and hold down a job, all they could do was live in communes or join the Hare Krisnas. The singer Wendy Saddington was a prime example, she was a secretary but cooked her brain with acid and spent the remainder of her life in some communal sect.

I knew one guy at university who did the same.  He was bright and a nice guy but started taking acid on a regular was for a while wandering around wearing old ladies' outfits that he bought in the Salvation Army shop.  Eventually he was institutionalised and the hospital said he could no longer function at all in the outside world and would probably have to remain institutionalized for the rest of his life. That was in our second year.  He never reappeard and I never heard anything more about him. Sad.  

 

Anyone who's ever tried it will understand how it has the potential to take people to a place that they can never come back from.  It is very different from cannabis.

I spent most of the 1970's in California where acid was common place, students took it at Uni., one friend took it regularly whilst sky diving, another took it on night shift whilst watching the freeway camera's for the police department, people took it in all kinds of scenario's. One or two people I knew had bad trips from time to time but nothing significant, I think the composition and manufacture was different back then but who knows.

Peter Green was another, totally fried his brain with too much acid and ruined his career and his life. But so much seems to depend on the individual. Both Morrison and Hendrix did copious amounts of acid, even performing while on acid, and it worked for them.

Scare-mongering. Has someone even ever died of LSD? Having a bad trip that lasts for days is not dying.

Way back in 1970, the famed director John Waters captured film of the daughter of Art Linkletter (a well-known and respected TV man)  jumping to her death after consuming the evil acid, I think it was the brown acid that was her trip, man.  And, what a trip it was.  Suggest you all watch this and the other highly regarded documentaries by Mr. Waters.

              Back in the 70's and 80's myself and  everybody I knew was into "Acid"  can;t think of any who suffered any of the alleged  horrific side effects that these people love to tell us are inevitable 

              

 

 

   Where are all your "acid" mates from back then now ?

Your low-rent friends are dead
This life can be very strange
All those Day-Glo freaks who used to paint the face
They've joined the human race
Some things will never change"

[spidermike007]

When I was in my midteens, I took over 100 acid trips. Never had one that bordered on being bad. All were amazing. Learned alot. They really helped me on countless levels. 

 

Guess it depends on the individual. I think if you have a weak mind, or some mental health issues already, it can be a trigger.
