Greatest drug myths you've heard.

This is always a fun topic. What are the craziest myths about drugs that you've heard? I'll start.
LSD stays in your spine forever Cracking your back causes LSD flashbacks Oxycodone is fine but heroin will make you addicted and/or kill you instantly Weed causes brain damage LSD burns holes in your brain Ecstasy burns holes in your brain (This IS a myth. Olney's Lesions are theoretical still.) "I have mescaline bases ecstasy pills"
And the greatest, craziest, stupidest drug myth I've heard is: Meth is just like acid and is made from acid.
^That one made me double take and almost slap my friend.
-------------------- I know what they'll find, it's in their mind, it's what they want to see. Spare me from the light, here comes the night and here I'll stay, waiting for darkness.

-LSD Drains your spinal fluid, or so they say.
-Mushrooms make your brain bleed.
-Smoking off of tin-foil gives you cancer.

My new friend last night asked me if the only test for mushroom use is by removing someone's spinal column fluid and I was just sitting there like, "oh my god are you really that fucking stupid?"
I know I've heard this one before but seriously - stupid people just aggravate the fuck out of me Even if it's a friend
I can't believe the amount of disinformation out there about psychedelics. One of my best friends usually runs through a pack of newports and a 12 pack a day but he insists I'm killing myself by using acid. "You know it's called acid for a reason it fucks up your brain."

I have a few
- People pour coke or dr pepper on weed to make it sticker to sell for more.. and make it heavier!! haha
- weed strength can be determined by color, and smell.
- Ugly looking mushrooms (with spores on them) are stronger than nice looking ones.
- Mushrooms have "roots"

In my younger days (younger than I am now) these were some major ones:
*Ecstasy puts holes in your brain *Ecstasy drains your spinal fluids *LSD stays in your spine forever *Cracking your back causes LSD flashbacks(was a HUGE one) *If you smoked enough marijuana you could become sterile and not be able to reproduce. *Coffee and cold shower works for any kind of hangover (drug or alcohol) *Someone also once told me that you had a 60% chance of fatality when you candy-flipped.
Of course when one starts to do their own research (as I did eventually in early high school years) and not rely heavily on gossip and word of mouth it tends to dispell many myths that surround the drug culture as a result of silly rumors and propaganda.

Well if someone is huffing glade or dust off the "high" is a result from the lack of oxygen in the brain and your brain releases a bunch of chemicals in your system to make you feel good so you dont suffer from your brain dying. When kids play that silly little choke eachother game that whats happening. _________________________________________________________ The biggest "myth" i have ever heard and actually had to wonder was "this XTC is mescaline based", im still looking into it actually. http://www.erowid.org/cgi-bin/chem_compare/chem_compare.cgi?LM=_ch_mescaline_ia_mescaline_2d.gif&RM=_ch_mdma_ia_mdma_2d.gif
From a very well written book on how to make narcotics from a experianced chemist "I chose to put mescaline in this (amphetamines) chapter instead of the hallucinogen section because the mescaline molecule is basically the same as any amphetamine. It is correct to say that mescaline is the grampa of speeders and the relation is obvious by the similarity of their synthesis. Whether you call it phenethylamine, amphetamine, phenyisopropylamine, aminoethylbenzene, phenylaminopropane, desoxyephedrine, etc.., the molecule is good old mescaline with a few minor changes. However, these minor changes can cause drastic changes in activity and psychotomimetic effects." "the criteria of molecular structure of amphetamine-like compounds are a benzene ring with an aliphatic chain of two or three carbon atoms with an amino-group (-NH2) on the second or b carbon atom. There are exceptions to this rule (tuamine, and privine, etc.), but generally we will need a benzene ring to use as starting material for our speed."
If you would like more information just PM me.

The first thing I ever heard about acid was that you have a good chance of dying the first time you do it...
Thank God for erowid!

In 7th grade, when my health teacher was talking about psychedelics ("hallucinogens"), she said:
You never know what kind of a trip you're gonna have; they're completely unpredictable. You can have horrifying visions, seeing monsters and demons; you can't make them go away by closing your eyes because you still see them with you're eyes closed. Some people have torn their eyes out on them.
