lsd

Post Reply New Topic

do people here think lsd should remain illegal? why do you think it should or shouldn't be illegal? do you think there is a true basis for it being illegal like there is with cocaine and heroin? do you think it would have politcal impact if it was legalised?

I think it should be used in a controlled setting on people with mental problems, like depression and anxiety, much like sodium thiopental(I think?) was used by WWII doctors to treat the acute neurosis of soldiers.

The government has no authority to tell me what I can and can't put into my body.

I like the idea of LSD to help with depression and anxiety, though it depends on the controlled setting, for instance some dreary hospital room is certainly not the place for an LSD trip so the controlled setting should be out in nature as that is the way to trip.

Maybe. I'd honestly have to see a credible report on how legalization of the drug would impact crime statistics and other issues.

From your article:


It's not LSD, most likely MDPV, the ingredient in bath salts people ingest to get high.

one can never tell how a person may react to a dose of L.S.D.

i tried lsd twice, and it is an extremely powerful drug.
i can see that some people with less than firm grasps on their "realities" may be ripped away to oblivion by the depersonalizing aspects of the drug.

i do not think it should be legalized because it is too strong.

I won't believe any of these stories until the toxicology report comes back. Speculation about cocaine, bath salts, LSD, or whatever is just baseless speculation that is being drummed up because someone has an agenda. I would think it would be PCP if anything but who knows.

True. And I'm not actually naive enough to confuse the consequences of drug abuse with how the drug would affect people when used responsibly. Actually, I support medicinal LSD. I think that, in the hands of a licensed medical authority, the drug could be put to good use. In a perfect world, we could even have clubs where people could experiment with LSD recreationally, under supervision, but I'm not sure how or if that could ever work.

Besides, if Jobs said it was good, perhaps everyone ought to try it:

That is kind of what I was thinking....from what the article describes that more sounds like something someone would do on PCP not LSD, but if it was bath salts maybe the chemical in that is a dissassociative like PCP.

Actually, if it was bath salts, we're talking about substances in league with crystal meth. I've seen iced-out dumbasses before while spending rainy nights holed-up in the local Waffle House back during my college days when I had to walk/bike ten miles each way to get to and from campus, and I honestly have no sympathy for the kinds of ret*d idiots who dig crystal meth. They are generally jerks when they are not iced-out. Lock them up, and throw away the key.

PCP is not necessarily a violence-inducing drug. For someone who is prepared for the trip and knows how to deal with it, it isn't going to lead to violent behavior. In cases where someone doesn't know to take the paranoia and anxiety with a grain of salt, we're looking at a different animal.

Well lets just say I've ran into people who have used speed in the past or still use it on occasion if they find some, who certainly are not quite how you describe. Though I don't know much about crystal meth specifically maybe there is a difference there? And well I have to stick to drug addiction is a disease not so much a character flaw....however that is not to say someone should get away with horrible crimes that hurt people if they have an addiction.

I don't know that a PCP experience would be considered a trip since as far as I know tripping refers to psychedelic experience....but I kinda put that in the same category as meth and herion, as in drugs I don't plan to indulge in.

If it is legalized, the quality of the product can be regulated. Of course it should be legalized.

Miami Cannibal Attack: Horrific Dangers of "Bath Salts" Drug

I would't be the least bit surprised that these new drugs are made to be analogs of other drugs, not to merely to circumvent laws prohibiting them, but are knowingly made to be more dangerous alternatives so that it demonizes drugs so that the War on Drugs remains relevant. It sure is a movement that has lost steam.

The government has created a lot of these drugs for the use of bio-weapons and interrogation purposes. LSD, which I don't consider that dangerous relatively, was certainly used that way.

I agree with snapcap's first post....somewhat. I agree on the controlled setting in most cases, however I wouldn't just say people with mental problems and addictions. I think it should also be extended to people who are near death, going throuch certain kinds of grief, even PTSD, but also - completely outside of any 'crisis' or umbrella 'problem' that people who simply wish to hack/crack into their own minds and continue to gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of themselves should also be allowed to do so in a controlled environment. The problem with limiting it as a 'problem-fixer' is that it has tremendous upside potential for people who are ambitious in terms of self-development, growth, etc. etc.
