LSD A Beautiful Thing
Froderik:
--- Quote ---I'm not saying LSD is without risk, or that I know for a fact that it can't cause brain damage. But so far, I've yet to see any proof that use of LSD causes brain damage. And even if it hypothetically could cause brain damage, there's still the question of circumstances. Even if LSD has the potential to cause brain damage, does that mean everyone who tries it is at risk? How much or how often before damage occurs? Does it only happen to people with certain pre-existing conditions?

Not at all. Psychosis, maybe, in individuals who are latently psychotic, but "brain damage", no.
As for the earlier statement rearding the differences between LSD and ather psychedelic chemicals, I disagree, at least in the case of ALD-52, which at higher doses has been found to have a paranoia-inducing quality that LSD does not. I do agree with the auhor's assertion that in general, you really can't tell what you are getting on the black market, which is why I prefer naturally-occuring psychoactives when I wish to go that route.

That's why I like blotter paper. The chances of getting something other than LSD are slimmer, since the number of substances that are active at a dose that fits on a tiny piece of paper is quite small. If it's not the real thing, it's more likely to be harmless paper than another drug. LSD is active at very very low levels. You can feel strong effects from 100 micrograms or less. The other reason you're more likely to get nothing rather than another drug, is that of all the substances you possibly could fit on the paper that would have any discernable effect, very few are anything at all like LSD, or nearly as practical to mass produce. (Not that LSD is easy to make, by any stretch of the imagination, but it's high demand has made it's more lucrative to make and sell the real deal than it is to make and sell fake shit. You won't sell much acid if everybody who tries your stuff hates it and knows that it's something else. If I want you to take multiple milligrams of a substance, I want you to put it in something else, a pill, for example. But at least these days there are cheap and easy verification tests available at head shops and on the internet. Put a drop on your pill, see what color it changes, look at the color chart, and you know what you've got, or at least you know what you DON'T have. I've yet to hear of anything like this for verifying the presence of LSD, but considering what I've said above about blotter paper and risk, I'll go with the only test I know. And I suppose it deserves a better name, but "The Acid Test" is just so damn fun to say.

You no doubt wrote "you need" and not "I want you" in the above sentence. This anomaly was implemented by the admin for reasons that don't necessarily concern us at the moment.
