Is the risk worth the reward?

Is risking getting years of Flashbacks from "Dirty" Acid worth the reward?
Ive been reading many First Time trip reports on Erowid, and it concerns me because so may of them talk of Flash Backs for years to come.
I just don't know if thats worth it. I have only tripped twice, on MG Seeds(LSA, amazing experiences might I add.
But im reconsidering trying LSD, But when I tell myself im not doing it, I think about how much im missing out on.
I want to live my life to the fullest, but I just don't know.

they won't give you flashbacks unless you have a family history of schzophrania or you take a HUGE dose. But if your scared of it don't take it or else youll have a bad trip

If your hesitant about LSD than maybe try mushrooms instead? Although you most likely won't experience any flash backs at all, especially if you work your way up from a small dose.

I would love to try Mushrooms, and I intend to.
Just a bit expensive around here, and I haven't had any luck hunting.

It just is weird to spend the first 18 years of my life being taught how people go crazy and are horrible people after they start doing Psychedelics.
I was taught that is all Psychedelics are, is crazy ass chemicals screwing with you mind, making you see Unicorns and pointless colors.
But I know now, its so much more than that. I can't explain it, but i'm sure most of you know what I mean.
I just wanted to know peoples opinions on LSD Flash backs, from people who have actually done it!

It wouldn't matter if your acid is "dirty" or "clean" the risk of "flashbacks" is the smae for both. You know, many of my friends report weed flashbacks? Acid doesn't stay in your body. You can't unsee what you've seen, you'll probably change as a person after taking acid, like pretty much everyonhe does. Sometimes i feel like i'm mildly tripping but it's nothing like actually being on LSD. IDK dude, it opens up your mind. Take it at your own risk, it's pretty safe tho

Another good point. Clean, dirty, it doesn't matter. Just so you know though, you are just as likely to get flashbacks from mushrooms or morning glory seeds as you are from LSD. It's not like LSD has an unusually high flashback risk as compared to other psychedelics or something. I think "acid flashbacks" is a bunch of negative propaganda mostly started by the government.

This is why I love this site!
And for the comment about Flash backs on Morning Glory seeds, there was one time when I thought I did.
Its not that i'm flashing back, but i'm vividly remembering what I saw (Complex Geometric Fiqures, Warping, 'Levels' of Reality).
This is especially prominent after Cannabis use.
Could this be equivilant to an LSD 'Flash Back;?

It's worth mentioning that you can get flashbacks from any drug, not just LSD. So if your afraid of LSD flashbacks then you should be afraid from all flashbacks in general then. Although in my opinion theres no reason to be scared of them.

It's government propaganda that instills thoughts like these into people. You don't get flashbacks from LSD you get flashbacks from strong life experiences. Which could be from a strong experience from using a drug but it's super rare highly unlikely. Alot of flashbacks people get are not even bad.
The lie that LSD stores in your spinal cord and if you crack your kneck you trip cus sum LSD comes out makes me want to knock out who ever says that shit.

I think sometimes people remember the experience and feel the effects slightly.
It doesent necessarily imply you have brain damage or some sort of other problem.
Its like you go to a 3-D movie then you have a dream of what the effects were like.

IMO flashbacks are a bunch of bullshit, probably some scare tactic to get kids not to do drugs yada yada. At the most it is like getting deja vu or very similar to getting a flashback of a dream you had years ago(kinda fun :-)). The only things you have to worry about is keeping the vibes positive, the set and setting, be smart and going with the flow. Your choice but I have not a single regret!

Doesn't matter if the acid is "dirty" or not. LSD is LSD. Some might be impure, but all that means is that you won't trip as hard because some of the LSD is inactive isomers. Having impure acid won't increase your risk of flashbacks.
According to studies, between 20 and 28% of LSD users experience flashbacks of some sort. A much smaller percentage experience HPPD (as in, very frequent flashbacks occurring later in life that won't go away). Apparently, this is more common among those with mental disorders. A mentally healthy person is extremely unlikely to develop HPPD unless they use psychedelics many, many times.
All psychedelics can cause flashbacks. If you're scared shitless of ever getting a flashback then you shouldn't use any psychedelics. Flashbacks aren't caused by the chemicals themselves. They're caused by the brain having a sort of relapse of an experience it's had before. Flashbacks can be caused by any profound event. It doesn't have to be drug-related.
I get LSD flashbacks every now and then, especially when I smoke weed. I think they're pretty cool, kind of like a short, free surprise trip.
