I'm more scared of acid than I am of shrooms... although the story of  Bicycle Day certainly makes it seem compelling.
 
 There's also some pretty compelling narrative in "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater," if you've ever been tempted to go that route.

exact opposite for me.  never had a bad experience with psilocybin, whereas lsd has ripped my head off once or twice.

aww, thanks betty, but drugs don't kill everyone everywhere and drugs are not all the same (weed <> heroin).  alcohol kills more people than drugs, but would you stop someone from enjoying a beer or two?

yeah, enough with the proselytizing. hallucinogens can be incredibly therapeutic and harmless. it all depends on the individual's personality and stability, the dosage, and set and setting.
 
 i've tripped over 200 times on acid, mushrooms, mescaline, and ecstasy, and i've never had a flashback, nor a bad trip. i've had some strange experiences, but nothing scary or frightening, and i choose to immerse myself in some pretty dark music/film/art. it's all about altering perception, bending reality, and breaking down barriers, some of which are negative influences in life.
 
 i'm pretty sure i'm a productive member of society with a job and multiple friends. and i last took acid on saturday while watching judas priest and sabbath.
 
 read aldous huxley's "doors of perception" and "heaven and hell" (fuck it, you should read any and all huxley anyway). he was around 58 when he first started experimenting with acid, and died when he was 68 (on a dose of 250 mg).
 
 careful regulation and moderation is the key with hallucinogens. not everybody should experiment with them, but in the right hands, they can be wonderful.

yes, but i do believe that unless you are an alcoholic, a beer or two will neither kill you nor have the same neural effects as an acid trip.  
 let's slyly forget that i posted last night after two drinks (me=low tolerance).  ha ha, i know, ironic - next time i heed my own advice...but still, do not ever drink lethal amounts on a regular basis, so do not consider myself to be doing anything strenuous to myself.
 
 i do love LOVE how snailhook tells me to stop proselytizing as he launches into a three-paragraph post about how awesome and therapeutic hallucinogens and huxley are.  
 
 the idea of doing acid or whatnot is certainly romanticized by those who have had great experiences with it - i am an artist and hippie at heart, but frankly, i would never touch something with such an unpredictable outcome.  not to mention the fact that all of these awesome substances can build up in your spinal cord - basically the backbone (pun intended) of your whole existence and functioning - and pop out to play at any given point in time.  i like my brain and body too much to do that much harm to it.  snailhook, if you have tripped over 200 times, don't try to tell me that you haven't fucked yourself up.

Thanks for sharing, but I'll pass.

what exactly are these effects?  i fear, betty, that you've bought in to the hype.  BTW, alcohol is killer on the liver.  again - no more alcohol?

but he wasn't telling others what they should and shouldn't do (aka proselytizing).  he gave his opinion and experience, but no recommended course of action.

please show me a single credible scientific article that backs up your spinal chord accumulation assertion... you won't find any.  it's all hype and lies, made up to scare impressionable folks.  reefer madness - hide the women and children!!!  seriously tho, i'm not going to tell you that drugs are harmless and everyone should indulge.  however, let's stay away from lies and scare-the-schoolchildren boogeymen, m'kay?

[azaghal1981]

I've never taken a hallucinogen and most likely never will because I think they're not for me. But who am I to tell anyone what they can and can't ingest?
 
 The spine myth has been debunked scientifically; in fact, LSD is most likely out of your system before the trip itself is completely over. Maybe you should stop taking everything that everyone older than you (myself and everyone on this board included) has told you about drugs at face value and do some reading of unbiased scientific sources instead?
 
 
 P.S. If you don't think hallucinogens can serve a purpose, re-read the first 15 or so posts of this thread again and try to not laugh.
 
 
 GGW's eating them brightened up many of our days for a few seconds and if nothing else, that alone made his eating them worthwhile.
