My hippie friend started doing acid and he says it's safe

Acid only allows you to hallucinate or dream while awake. It's perfectly natural to dream in your sleep. But be careful and keep a level head while tripping. I used to trip when I was a teenager in the hippie / anti-White-US-Imperialism days.

Not safe, but it's a hell of a drug.

Acid is just crazy...no way around it

Now u will not hallucinate in the since of seeing little green men running around but you will have about 1000 thoughts running through your head at the same time

Along with this it is physically impossible to sleep for roughly 12 hours...

Then the next day your body is so taxed that you really can not function properly at all

While I am glad I had the experience of doing it years ago I don't think I could handle it today...very powerful drug

the drug itself wont kill you... walking out a window trying to fly probably will

be EXTRODINARILY careful w/ these types of drugs. The reactions and experiences of individuals can vary WILDLY.

Example - one friend described acid as, "like drinking 13 beers". Another said he needed 2-3 hits for anything to happen. Another took a quarter and FREAKED OUT. All from the same batch.

Do not f@#K around w/ this stuff. I have one friend who tripped +400x over 5-6yrs (2 straight summers of following the Dead, tripping 80-90 days straight both times). He made $750k in 2007, and half that for the 10yrs prior, and has blown every penny - he is very smart, but his mind is fried. Another who tripped at least 100x, in college, and is as sane and stable as a judge.

Just to be accurate, he's a hippie wanna-be. All the hippies are dead or in government now.

yep the lengendary perma fry. just like what the poster David said. guys brains fry. talking to birds and stuff or just fried. Urban lengends talk about a guy daring his buddy to eat a bunch. that guy never came back.

Go w/ shrooms instead.

"It's perfectly safe. Safer than vitamin C"

"Perma fry, the devil the devil"

This is what I hate about drug debates. Too non-scientific. Either back up what you have to say with hard scientific studies or shut the hell up, because your just pulling it our of your ass.

"you're" and "out"

damn, never mind.

acid kills brain cells. my freshman year in college two guys in my dorm died while on acid...one jumped out of 8 story window because he thought he could fly.

that's a bunch of bullshit. there's absolutely no scientific evidence that it does any permanent damage. people have accidentally taken millions of doses and been fine. i've done it myself many times obviously unlike most of the people who have posted their 'advice' here. sure everybody has some 'story' about somebody who thought they could fly but that's not really realistic. you don't become retarded.

and its the same thing as shrooms just a longer trip. it's not any more dangerous than shrooms. in fact its better because you don't feel sick after taking it.

and if you want to be safe, just don't do it every day for a year. that might mess you up just like drinking 13 beers every day for a year will. but do it a handful of times if you want you'll be fine. and its not physically addictive so you don't really have to worry about that.

alcohol kills brain cells. my freshman year in college two guys in my dorm died while drunk...one jumped out of 8 story window because he thought he could fly.

Do you have absolutely any idea what you are talking about? Do you know how many micrograms of lsd are in a hit of acid? Alcohol kills far more brain cells.Scientifically, if you do not have a predisposition to mental illness, acid is relatively safe. Look at actual research, not propaganda.As far as my personal opinion - a powerful drug, unlike anything else. Someone said it is like drinking 13 beers - that is ridiculous, it is nothing like alcohol. I had some of the most amazing, spirtualesque moments on it, but it isn't for everyone.

acid, really??? wrote:

It's not the worst drug you can take. I took it several times with no permanent effects, but I'd never take it without a friend taking a hit from the same batch first. (Not a lot of regulation in the acid industry.) That said, yeah it was a good drug, much better than mushrooms or dust.

Don't drink or do drugs. Problem solved. Simple, huh?

Just because something exists, it doesn't mean that you have to do it.

I'm not particularly anti-drugs, but never felt compelled to try them myself. My son, however, went through a phase of experimenting with everything, including pot, codeine, dextromethorphan (I think I've got that right) and acid among others. We caught him trying to make batches of something from cough tablets, with a little chemistry set he'd pulled together.

One day we got a call from him and he was totally f***ed up on acid, crying and telling me he wanted to kill himself. His girlfriend was with him, and I managed to get him to give her the phone so she could explain where they were. She was also f***ed up and had to rely on some other pothead who wasn't as badly spaced out to give us some landmarks.

We managed to find him, sprawled on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and brought him to the emergency room, where they basically had him sleep it off.

Scared the living shit out of me and my wife. We knew he'd been having troubles with drugs and we were trying to work with him to get him to quit but couldn't.

About a month later he was arrested for shoplifting a bunh of boxes of cough medicine, and is permanently banned from a major drug store chain and served a one year ban from the local mall.

Through hard work on all our parts, he's managed to ditch the drugs and get himself clean, and he's a completely different person, motivated toward school and work, and with a generally brighter outlook on life.

I know some people can get by OK doing recreational drugs, but it was dragging my son into hell, and us along with him. The acid ordeal was terrifying.
