This I do not believe. Although I agree with your statement that LSD, if used, should be used carefully, I do not know of any cases of 'brain damage' arising from the use of LSD. He may have had a pre-existing psychological condition that may have disqualified him from using LSD, but I have serious doubts as to the validity of your statement that "LSD caused brain damage".
Psychedelics are very powerful drugs, and in my opinion, should not be used frivolously, but with respect, and informed consideration. Certain people should not use them, and no one should use them in inappropriate settings. Although your friend's case is saddening, I do not think it is accurate or helpful to make a statement such as you did. You are contributing to misinformation about drugs, a subject where there is a lot of intentional misinformation thrown around. I don't think you meant this deliberately, I think you weere just pointing out to people the need for caution, but get your facts right. Otherwise, it seems like the 'scare stories' that they threw at us in grade school, or Straight, etc., and those things did more harm than good.

I would like you to elaborate on the brain damage thing. Did a doctor tell him this? It seems like it depends on a person's chemical makeup on whether or not LSD is a good thing or bad thing.
Personally, I have been happy on it and surrounded myself with people that I knew loved and cared about me while I took it. There's only one time I had what could be considered a bad trip and that's when I was coming down and could not sleep for several days and had been arguing with my b/f.

Yeah, I don't buy the 'brain damage' allegation, either. His friend may have had some latent form of psychosis, that the LSD potentiated, but that can't be blamed on the acid.
OverLordd:
He is now mentally retarted, he was not before hand. Its simple as that, he may of OD'ed or something, but something is wrong with his mind now. Retardation may not be the correct word, but its the best desriptor I can come up with.

Look I'm sorry to hear about your friend Overlord, but I don't think it's from lsd. He may have had some problems that were going to happen anyways regardless of what he did. Genetics.
I came over here on this thread to glorify my past drug use. I'm not dead, insane, or in jail from dropping lsd at 19. When I want to cry about my past drug use I'll be sure to go on the survivor's thread. The whole reason why this forum was started was to talk about great sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
Still love ya. ::kiss::
