Back in the early 80's In Straight Inc., the staff told us that anyone who has taken LSD more than a certain number of times (I think they said 7.?) is considered "legally insane" or some shit.... :rofl:
Even back then I remember thinking to myself what a bunch of crap that is; before I was abducted into Straight by my parents, I had taken acid plenty more times than that... So if that was what being crazy was, then I was senseless, out of it, gone-down-the-road, wacko....
Yeah right... ::)

Yeah, that's another example of the complete jive that was touted as THE TRUTH by the incompetenent, unqualified LIARS that claimed to know not only about how to treat drug addiction, but also how the legal/medical professions operate.
I've dropped acid over 300 times (including some 1000+ microgram megadoses), have eaten more psilocybn mushrooms at one time than anyone I know of, have smoked DMT more than 10b times, done MDMA about fifty or sixty times, and used a variety of naturally occuring psychoactives. I smoke marijuana daily. I guarantee that I am more "sane" (in spite of having been in Straight) than any of the assholes on staff that said I was in the grips of "the insanity of my drug problem".
Fuck Straight Inc. and all other assholes that slander the use of psychedelics.

Well, I'm not really sure, but I think the way this myth must've begun, was in a court room somewhere, in which the defense lawyer pro'ly defended his client with an insanity defense based on the defendant's proven use of LSD. If the judge accepted the argument that would set a legal precedent.

I tend to agree that this is how the myth of "LSD makes ya crazy" got started.

Sorry to be so serious... :seg2:

Naw, I think it was more like GHW Bush's CIA covering their bare, tender asses after having driven some poor hapless folk out of their minds while experimenting with the shit for 1interigation/indoctrination purposes.

Here's the most ironic thing about this post: I was in Str8 '83 to '84 and I strongly suspect that we were slipped hallucinogens in our food @ the 'building' (along w/other types of drugs). Just another experiment conducted by the string-pullers @ Str8.
-
I never did acid till long after straight,and as Ive said before,If straight was sane then sign me up for crazy. T'was all jive folks,write it off.
-
What else can you say? They showed us this film when I was in school.(I know I'm an old fart) It never stopped me.

Really? I was there then, and can't say I noticed anything like that.

I was locked up during that time too and I can tell you the "food" served at the building wasn't laced with anything except terrible taste. In Atlanta they initially got the food donated from some local dive(almost inedible really bad stuff) then later a phasers mom came to the building everyday to fix lunch. I stayed at this womans house for awhile and can assure you she was not a secret gov't agent. As for the "Uncle Sid" I never did it until after I was out of Straight. Unfortunately, it tends to upset my stomach so I don't play there anymore. The 420 makes it all good though. Shaggy

I;m just sayin'...yeah I hear ya 'bout the secret agent stuff..just seemed like a lot of people were 'playin' different roles there....trying to be intriguing or something...i could be wrong...just wish I had demanded a drug test be done on me immediately following release...
But here is another possible motive for slipping stuff in the food: drug co. clinical trials for psyche meds and things like that? (i personally had never taken them b-4 Str8, but was prescribed Ritalin or something post Str8 for ADHD or whatever that vague diagnosis was)
I won't post anymore on this issue 'cause, in the end, I guess you guys're right....doesn't really matter.

Actually, this myth about insanity is one of many myths from the fountain of misinformation about LSD. The myth of
anyone who took acid 7 times or more is legally insane was a myth that did not start in Straight.I had heard that myth
from friends long before going into Straight, although Staff there was misinformed enough to continue to spread that
kind of information. I've done extensive research on LSD and the facts are:LSD does NOT kill brain cells. LSD leaves a
perons body quickly throgh urine. They used to say it stays in your system forever in your spinal fluid or whatever, this
is not true.LSD is not physically addictive.However, some people could cut LSD with other dangerous chemicals, that can
be a real danger. Alot of verry successful people like Paul McCartney and Bernie Taupin have done acid and it seems
to have enhanced their artistic creativeaty. I have had good trips and verry bad trips. The real tragedy is the fact that
LSD is still highly illegal. People are in prison for dealing acid and that is sad. In fact possesion of large amounts of acid can
be a verry real jailable offense. The lies, myths and misinformation about acid is the stuff of legend. I would not blanketley
recomend it to anyone or for that matter demonize it. I think incarceration in Straight caused all kinds of psycological damage more severe than acid for alot of people.Remember the extereme paranoia and crazy "head games" people
went through in there? Blessings, Evan J Rodgers
