Sounds like a stupid question, but why don't peole take LSD?

Have you ever had a flashback?

Are they not more just like deja vu, or simply just memories.

So not unlike what you get from any experience.

Two or three times a week is possible but that is seriously heavy LSD use. Repeated doses of LSD can have a profound psychological effect, leaving you detached from normal reality

On Wikipedia, it says LSD is less physically addactive and does less physical harm than Marijuana, alcohol and tobacco. Why then would a lot of people not take it? The only real reason I can think of is because the high lasts upto 12 hours, but surly many people would like to experience it?

Also, with regards to flash backs, there has been much research into their causes and effects and there has been little evidence that they even exist.

You sound a complete **** to be honest. "It was aight"....the truth is you probably took a stupidly small weak amount of LSD one night with your mates that hardly gave you any affect which makes you feel you can talk on here in the "Yeah, well, I took it, look at me, I'm fine it was aight"...

I've seen people tripping on LSD, and seen some scary ****. I've seen people run for miles because they think they're going to be killed by some **** they're imagining. I've seen people jumping on moving cars, only god knows how they didn't die those nights.

Its can be a completely crazy drug.

It's less harmful than alcohol. Look it up.

Class A doesn't mean anything, anyone with a brain knows that. What class a drug is in has nothing to do with how harmful it is. Why would ecstasy and LSD be class A if that was the case? Why would cannabis be Class B for that matter?

If it had anything to do with harm those would be class D drugs if anything. Are you saying Professor Nutt resigned for no reason?

Alcohol shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as LSD, it's like comparing Hitler with Dennis the menace. Alcohol the drug which has caused millions of deaths, millions of liver transplants, millions of broken homes blah blah.

How can you even mention it in the same sentence as LSD? When has taking LSD sensibly harmed anyone?

There is so much misinformation being circulated in this thread. I knew would it would happen.

Perhaps have a read of this website before spouting off some ignorant bull****.

No it was completely non drug related. As are most cases of psychosis. Can't blame drugs for everything now can we?



LSD makes you hallucinate, it doesn't make you believe the hallucinations are real. So the time you saw that guy who thought something was trying to kill him, is *******s.

Anyway, replace "LSD" with "alcohol" and tell me what's the difference? Except one slowly kills you and the other doesn't.

It was scary **** to you, because you didn't understand it.

I've seen people start fights for no good reason, so drugged up they couldn't walk. Vomiting and urinating in the street. A drug which causes people to either get violent, stupid, careless, put their lives in danger often killing themselves. But that's alcohol. In these cases you'd go "oh, they're just drunk" not "i'm scared".

Would anyone panic and try to call an ambulance? Would people be scared? No, because it's alcohol. And it's normal. If someone had said they were on a different drug, hell would have broke loose and they'd be in hospital getting treatment when all they really need to do is sleep on it.

Except it's harmless, and completely safe compared to alcohol. Even cannabis.

Since when did what class a drug is in mean anything?

LSD gives you psychotic symptoms. Prolonged use can lead to full-blown psychosis. If you ask me, it's not worth it.

If you took a couple of tabs of acid you would be on your knees giving me a blowjob

What an utterly ridiculous and arbitrary thing to base your decision on. Take the prohibition of alcohol for example, one year it was legal, therefore by your logic 'okay to take', the next year it suddenly becomes illegal, now all of a sudden something that you would willingly take, you're suddenly not willing to, just because some guy has drawn an imaginary line and changed the name from 'legal' to 'illegal'. Now a few years later, it suddenly renamed again to 'legal' and you'd drink it again.

Nothing has changed to the alcohol between being named legal and illegal, it's still the same drug, it's an arbitrary classification, it doesn't change anything about the substance so to base your decision on this arbitrary classification that someone, somewhere has decided upon is foolish.

The only extra consideration is the fact that you could serve a sentence. However, this becomes a non-issue when you realise that internal possession does not count as possession and you cannot be sentenced for being on LSD. If you had it in your pocket and were caught with it, that's different but LSD is odorless and colourless, its put on a piece of paper. If you're telling me you can't hide a tiny little piece of paper that no one can smell, then you deserve to be caught with it.

Because it does a lot more mental harm

Sorry if this is a really stupid question and i'm horribly wrong but.. I thought cannabis had been proved not to have any negative health effects ? So how can it have 'less negative health effects'?

If you read the rest of my post (which was only a few words ) then you'd realise that that's not the main reason. I don't do hallucinogens because I don't like the idea of them. Certain other drugs are okay though, even if they are illegal.
