Is LSD a dangerous drug
If you have any thoughts about playing russian roulette with LSD you should re-think it. I'll tell you I know several people who have gotten the crap end of the stick with this stuff and appear "psychotic" today as they "tripped" years ago; they will never hold a job or function right, nor can they learn again and using a sidekick, computer, driving a car or cellphone takes learning; the new LSD is Extacy; it also changes brain and spinal chemistry absent the "trip" LSD gives you.
Good luck, don't be stupid, find a real challenge and take it on. LSD is for the unwise.
LSD is a dangerous drug-that's why its illegal. I'm a child of the 60's. I saw people that took LSD on bad trips (either from a bad batch or given too much) and I've seen people that have taken LSD that never come back from their trip. It does kill brain cells. Why, oh why would you want to possibly ruin your life? The odds are not in your favor when you take LSD.
Relatively speaking: No.
It is physically much safer than alcohol or tobacco and it is nearly impossible to overdose on. LSD works by crossing the blood-brain barrier and flooding it with a multitude of chemicals that mimic neurotransmitters in your brain, they bind to your receptors and cause the sensations and hallucinations you feel under its effects. Only about 15% of the drug actually enters your brain, the rest is passed through urine in the first 24 hours. The duration of the effects can last anywhere from 6-14 hours, depending on the dose. You never have to worry about poisoning from strychnine or any other chemical because the amount necessary to kill you can't fit on that little square. And even if drug dealers wanted to, it's much more expensive and a bigger hassle to do so rather than just making and selling real lsd. LSD does not alter your brain chemistry one bit, nor does it kill brain cells. The entire drug is removed from your body in 48-72 hours. In fact, 3-5 days later your tolerance will have returned to normal and you could take it again without having to up the dosage. It is non habit forming and only the truly insane or truly idiotic would want to be on it every day. There has been more research done on this drug than any other. It's found naturally in ergot, a mold that forms on rye, and was first synthesized by Dr. Albert Hoffman on Nov. 16th 1938. It was used for a time by the goverment as a possible biological weapon/truth serum in the 1950's and also for use in psychotherapy in the 1940's up until it was criminalized, even Cary Grant took it numerous times under the supervision of his therapist. It didn't come into popular use until Leary and all the hippies started using and abusing it in the 1960's.
