Why is LSD illegal?

I believe a "standing army" is nothing more than a permanent army of paid soldiers. There is necessity for it to be re-authorized or not that I can find.

And our army is a permanent army of paid soldiers. As such it is a standing army.

It is reauthorized each year, dumbass. It is not a standing army.

LSD is not brewed.

You are certainly correct, most people had no idea who manufactured it. Where LSD is less of a concern is in the volume taken. Many drugs you used to be worried was laced with other drugs - but LSD is taken in such a micro dose, you did not have to worry about it being laced

This is no longer true with fentanyl, but it used to be the case.

Many people in the grateful dead family did know where it was manufactured though. And still do know.

Yeah, it is. https://science.howstuffworks.com/lsd2.htm They have recipes and it takes a few steps. It is not brewed like beer if that is what you mean.

Do your homework ,it wasn't developed ,there was no purpose, it was stumbled upon by Albert Hofman trying to make a Analeptic ,who accidentally ingested LSD 25 through his skin.

What It Is:

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is a hallucinogenic drug. Hallucinogens change the way people sense the world around them.
Sometimes Called:

acid, sugar cubes, white lightning, dose, tripping, blotter

How It's Used:

LSD is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. It can be painted onto small squares of paper that people lick or swallow.
What It Does:

LSD causes the senses of space, distance, and time to become altered. People say they "hear" colors or "see" sounds, and have strange feelings and strong emotions.

Many users refer to an "acid trip" — when the effects don't let up and can last for up to 12 hours at a time. LSD also can cause "bad trips" — when users experience panic, confusion, sadness, and scary images. Bad reactions can happen with the first use and a user may have flashbacks later, experiencing the feelings of a bad trip even after the drug wears off.

Because LSD also affects judgment and behavior, users might find themselves in a dangerous situation.

Physical changes include increased heart rate and blood pressure, muscle twitches and shaking, dilated pupils, sweating, sleeplessness, and loss of appetite.

What Is a Bad Trip?

Psychedelic drugs can induce fear or distress

A bad trip on acid can bring this spider prop to life for you or you might see even scarier things?!! Make sure you got your mind right before you try acid?!! I recommend some good music, like Jimi Hendrix?!!

Anyone who wants to know about LSD needs to read The Electric Koolaid Acid Test. They'll learn about the Grateful Dead as well.

The U.S govt. paid kids in the late 50s/early 60s to do acid under controlled testing. They wanted to use it as a weapon in war.

Ken Kesey was more than happy to do the tests, as he fucked with the doctors on a daily basis. After getting paid handsomely for the movie rights to his book One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest, he set out on the road with lots of LSD (made by Owsley) and the rest is history.


Bad trips only happen to people who have no control over their mind.

I know I was never into the Alcohol Buzz thing!

I do like me a mild cannabis or sativa high every now and then though- and for me, it's gotta' be Gummy Bears or brownies now, as I quit smoking years ago.

The reason why I never did any other mind-altering drugs- or just drugs in general, is I was afraid I might enjoy them a little too much. :laugh:

Everyone...especially world leaders...should be required to do LSD at least once.

Reading about LSD will never give you meaningful insight into LSD. If anyone wants to know about LSD, they need to try LSD.

You can witness horrific events while on the influence and that will lead to a very bad trip.

Some impure acid can will really mess with your stomach - creating a bad trip.

Had you bothered to read this thread though, you would see everything you offered abut Kesey, the Dead, and LSD I already discussed - in much more detail

You can have several good trips, then a bad trip followed by good trips.

Wouldn’t recommend it, as “zymurgy” pointed out, it ain’t what it used to be, now you are not sure what it is, the days of Owsley Stanley and Sunshine Superman are long gone, finished when it became a profit drug

I said be careful, not to ignore such a wonderful experience altogether

1 - if you do not know anyone else that tried the batch - get a fentanyl test strip so you can rule that out

2 - consider taking a much smaller dose the first time as a trial if you do not know the source - or anyone that tried it

I have never tried it, but I plan on doing so when my kids are a little older....


Why would it be illegal?
Click to expand...

I've never tried it either and don't plan to. I really don't know the answer exactly. I do know that when I was a kid/teenager, they constantly warned us against it. There were stories about people becoming psychotic and incurable. People supposedly thinking they were birds and trying to fly out of high stories. Art Linkletter's daughter died that way. It's not addictive like heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, etc.

the golden years of lsd are gone - make sure what you are taking is actually LSD

For a long time, nothing else matched the concentrated power of this drug - a single drop of something with such a powerful impact on your state of being - so you could be assured you were getting what you thought you were getting.

This is certainly not the case anymore, which is sad.

so be careful.

You sound experienced. If you feel comfortable discussing it, I'd like to hear what your experiences were and how you felt about them.

The constitution doesn't tell the government what powers it may have; only what powers it specifically can't have.
Libertarians don't have the first fucking clue about the constitution that they claim to revere so much.

Cocaine and opium are natural, have been used for centuries, and shouldn't be illegal, even though they're not the greatest idea.
Laboratory recreational drugs like LSD should be treated the same as laboratory invented medicines.
If they do harm and not good, their manufacture should be prohibited.

LSD was actually synthesized from a naturally-occurring ergot fungus. You can find it on breads, for instance.

In 1951, a village in France was "poisoned" by the fungus/LSD.

1951 Pont-Saint-Esprit mass poisoning
