Ok, first of all a lot of you interested in drugs and LSD should post on the Detox board in addition to here. We need some more peeps over there.
Second, lets dispell some rumors. Anyone who wants to debate them will be quickly shut down
1) There has never been a single dose of LSD that has been recorded to contain rat poison. Don't listen to the government and/or the media. The strychnine thing is a fairly common myth too... I have heard very few reports of blotter being laid with strych, but they come from unreliable sources and I personally have never seen it or taken it. If it ever has been true, humans would get way more fucked up than they are claimed to have been. Convulsions at minimum.
Here is a page on strych and it's functions on the body. Bad stuff. Never heard of anyone ingesting it though.
2) LSD is less harmful to your mind than Psilocybin Mushrooms, dose-for-dose. Look at my name, too... I defend Mushrooms to the fullest degree. But there is nothing more natural about Mushrooms than Lysergic Acid. LSD comes from the base of Ergotamine Tartrate, aka ergot, aka the shit that often infects ryes in small quantities. Just because LSD needs a helping hand in a chemistry lab doesn't mean it's more of a chemical than pure psilocybin.
It's cool that people don't know, and that they assume what they think is correct - I just find myself explaining how Shrooms are NOT better for you because they're more 'natural' than lsd all the time. Ya know?
Most people just fear Acid because of it's name. The word 'Acid' sounds like a true drug, like a true mind-fucking drug to the fullest extent... and even intelligent people get the wrong idea about it. It really is no different than Psilocybin in any way besides the way it makes you trip. I personally think Shrooms are a more mind-controlling trip than Acid, as Acid shows you what is truly right in the world at any given time. The simplicities of time and life are placed in front of you in an unreal way.
With that said, I still enjoy my mushies more than any of the 30+ substances I've fucked with. They are fucking great.
But the truth is that LSD is the most revolutionary and respectful drug of all time. The social psychedelic revolution in the late 60's was 'NEEDED' in America. absolutely needed...
