Woah, you have altered my view on how drugs were approached in America, thanks for the responses. That makes a lot of sense; the whole we can arrest you with a joint. So crazy to think that people have literally had their life stripped from them because of having a substance on them

It seems like society tends to spread urban legends like "my friend of a friend thought he was an orange/went crazy/jumped out a window/tripped permanently/etc stories between ignorant people very easily.
The result is, a large percentage of the population believes some variant of one of those urban myths, and if you mention LSD in a large enough group of people, it's almost certain somebody in the group will pipe up with some "my uncle's friend took 1 tab and thought he was god and has been tripping for the past 5 years and thinks he's a glass of orange juice" ancedote.

history, war on drugs, propaganda, the unknown factor - a lot of young people never come near lsd these days-
also it can be a genuinely terrifying or dangerous experience. While I'm mostly fine on the stuff, I saw a bud of mine straight up break with reality, seeing gods everywhere, thinking he was experiencing evolution of biological life etc for hours, went into the ocean got hypothermia and ended up in hospital lol
so, to be fair, I get some of the fear

Take 250 micrograms, sniff some yay then watch Fear and Loathing and you tell me..
No seriously though, it's called fucking ACID
Of course a bunch of people are gonna think something called "acid" as being a crazy drug I mean think back to what you thought about acid before trying it. Also take a look at Marina Joyce.
Acid won't fry you or anything just from trying it but people who have had real far out acid trips do tend to come back a little more withdrawn than how people usually back back from heavy psychedelics. It's a little more surreal and psychophysical and it really does have a more spacey and kind of 'burnt out' headspace than shrooms or at least it can happen. I never had that happen with shrooms though.

Yeah I was under the impression that LSD only has a bad reputation among people who are already against psychedelics. LSD seems accepted as the holy grail of psychedelics among the majority of trippers.

Peyote Road said: oh yes, nixon despised drugs and drug users. one of his aids was recently quoted as saying that they concocted the war on drugs because they knew many of their biggest political opponents were drug users.
making a "war on drugs" allowed them legal license to go in and raid the headquarters of their opponents. All of a sudden they could go arrest a guy for having a joint in his pocket. a lot of the laws against drugs are not based on science but rather a desire to legally harass the group of people they were associated with. even today drug laws are enforced in such a way as to marginalize black folks.
i believe the irony and the real losers is the poor parents who just want their kids to be safe. for example, think about all the heart broken parents who have lost their children in this day and age to heroin overdoses.
well, fact of the matter is that the war on drugs is what keeps the much safer, milder plant entheogen opium out of the country and instead makes it much more profitible to turn it into the highly addictive, highly dangerous substance known as heroin.
the parents think the government is trying to keep their kids safe by illegalizing drugs when the truth is that if we had legal and regulated drugs kids would in most cases be a lot safer.
of course you cant prevent all overdoses, but imagine if we legalized and regulated all the natural plant drugs frist. how many kids would turn to the needle if they could get their hands on cheap, high quality smoking opium? I am guessing not very many. This would save the lives of countless addicts while allowing them to be functioning productive members of society.
but such a solution would make too much sense, especially after we've been bombarded witht he idea that drugs are evil and kids legally smoking opium would just be considered too scandalous. better to let them risk overdosing on heroin apparently.
the same thing goes for cocaine. in south america south americans have been getting high chewing coca leaves for centuries with no ill health effects. but here in the USA coca leafs are illegal so if you want a lift you have to turn to the highly pure, highly dangerous illegal extract of the plant known as cocaine.
i realize no one is going to listen to me, but returning to natural plant highs could really do so much toward curbing the harm our nation is experiencing from "drugs".
You explain it so well. I don't understand why there aren't any politicians in my country vouching for legalizing and regulating all (or most) drugs. If it said by the right person, I believe we will be able to, at some point, make this a reality. When enough people open up their eyes, to see the real benefits of legalizing drugs. It would save many peoples lives, and it would benefit our country, by all the money going in, instead of them going out illegally.
I would want to be that politician to stand out from the crowd, and let the every day person in my country, know the benefits of legalizing drugs, and hope that I am the one who will succeed in making this possible. But I don't think it will the next many many years, maybe not even in my lifetime...

Exactly, in my city, two teens who were 16 and 17 were doing acid together, then the one of them jumped out of the window from 4th floor because he was frightened, and thought his friend was gonna kill him... Whenever I tell people about L, this is just what they bring up.. And it really is hard to counter that with an argument, other than it is really rare, and some people just aren't meant to take psychedelics

nooneman said: LSD got caught up in the politics and the political zeitgeist of the 60s, and by association was demonized. Then Nixon came into power, and he famously hated the hippies and anything having to do with them, and he fought very hard to try to destroy anything that was associated with them.
And then of course stuff like the acid tests weren't great publicity. Good for exposing people to it, but very bad publicity. Although on the upside it did create the mythos of psychedelics without which perhaps psychedelics might not have survived as well as they did. So, good and bad publicity, but still there was bad publicity because of the stuff people did in the 60s.
People were reckless with psychedelics in the 60s, and today we're both paying the price and reaping the rewards. It's possible that if people weren't quite as reckless in the 60s, LSD would be schedule 2 or 3, but in exchange we'd have none of the psychedelic mythology and culture and knowledge and history that we do today.
This. Plus add The Charlie Manson killings at the worst possible time....that was pretty much the end until just a few years ago when science began to show some real interest in it again for therapeutic reasons.

Too much psychedelics, You become the entertainment. We hardheaded people tend to forget the power of 400ug especially on the developing mind. At 16 200ug had me scared shitless. God knows what i might have done if i had a gun in that panicked state..

The reason acid is called ACID is because you inject it directly into your spine and it's made out of rat poison and you turn into a dead rat and spill over as orange juice while your brain literally sizzles in the acid.
