No, one bad trip is not all it takes for the vast majority of people. Individuals who are already unstable are a different story.
I'm willing to bet that you haven't got a damn clue how LSD works. The exact mechanism is uncertain, but it temporarily alters the brain's serotonin system to produce hallucinogenic effects. No, it doesn't make your brain bleed, or form crystals in your spinal cord, or any other bullshit urban legend. The theraputic index (ratio of active dose to estimated lethal dose) is so incredibly high that it's one of the least toxic drugs (of any kind, not just psychoactive) known to man. Educate yourself, dammit.AsModEe said:kids kids kids..... if you knew what acid does to your brain (or any other drugs), you would stop doing it right now.
yep, its like talking to a wall. they have no fuckin clue about what they comdemn.En Vind Av Sorg said:Yes, we've had so many drug bashing posts in this forum already, so I really wont address the ignorance anymore. As far as psychoactives go, nowdays I rarely partake in them for pleasure/recreationally. Most of the times that I have indulged lately have been experiences with certain goals or objectives in mind. I have had some experiences which I would consider quite "profound" in some sense when I have had a clear intent or focus with a trip. I dont really expect this to change the views of those condemning it, Im sure they will dismiss it as drug induced babble. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.

MFJ said:Our children should be educated with Erowid.com instead of DARE.
Parents visiting classrooms when D.A.R.E. is in session have been alarmed when watching the role-playing exercises offered by the program. They complain that during these skits, all the students wanted to play the character who was high (that role being the most fun and providing the most chance to be creatively zany). This calls into question whether D.A.R.E. really convinces its participants that drugs are harmful and unpleasant.

Crimson Velvet said:Actually, you don't have to have it in your family. Studies showed that anyone who have used marijuana 25 times or more are six times as likely to develop schizophrenia. There are no concrete studies on acid and shit like that yet, ut the number of people, here in Norway anyways, that have been checked into psychiatric wards really speak for themselves.
And I love how all you druggies on this board just blow off all anti-drugism as ignorance. Maybe some of us have seen how drugs can ruin the lives of otherwise healthy people a few times over the years...
En Vind Av Sorg said:Yes, I know we've been over this, and some of us have seen the horrors of drug abuse. Responsible drug use it the key here, know your body, know your mind, know your source.

M.Lehto said:I guess this is wrong forum for me with opinions like this.
MFJ said:I know three people that have died from drug-related problems. Doesn't stop me, because they made foolish mistakes and pushed their bodies to the absolute limit (or indulged in an adulterated drug that they didn't insepct). The whole fucking point here is that you can completely avoid hurting yourself if you know your body, know your substance, and know what you're doing. Moderation and responsible use are the absolute keys, but I don't even know why I bother typing this stuff up. No one will truly understand what we're trying to get at here.
