LSD/ACID INFORMATION THREAD
MISCONCEPTION #1: ACID IS UNNATURAL
LSD stands for lysergic acid diethylamide which is made from lysergic acid, a compound found in the fungus, ergot. The argument that "it's bad for you because it's unnatural" is invalid.

MISCONCEPTION #2: ONCE YOU TAKE ACID, IT NEVER LEAVES THE BODY
This is a misconception that needs to die. Acid only affects the user for 12 hours, after which all effects are gone. You can't crack your back and trip again, which is something that people thought was a thing.

MISCONCEPTION #3: ACID WILL MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR MIND
There is a risk to taking psychedelics if you don't use moderation or treat the substance with respect, but you will not "lose your mind". Here is Drug Science's harm comparison of many drugs, ranking LSD as one of the lowest.

SAFETY TIP #1: IF IT'S BITTER, IT'S A SPITTER
Blotter (paper) tabs may have a slight ink taste, but if the tab is bitter at all, SPIT IT OUT. Acid itself has no taste. ALWAYS test your stuff before taking it, it isn't worth risking your life for a trip. https://wimscilabs.com/product/hofmann-reagent/

MISCONCEPTION #4: LSD IS ADDICTIVE
LSD has no addiction potential. Although it can incite feelings of euphoria, it doesn't drive the user to repeatedly seek it again and again at larger amounts like with many other substances. Tolerance builds and resets after 1-2 weeks.

MISCONCEPTION #5: YOU'LL SEE UNICORNS AND RAINBOWS
LSD is a psychedelic, and does not make you have vivid hallucinations like that. Common visuals are intense colors, walls and materials drifting or "breathing", but there are sooo many others and it varies for everyone.

SAFETY TIP #2: DOSE APPROPRIATELY
Taking higher doses when you're unexperienced can be overwhelming. You cannot overdose from LSD, but things can get mentally distressing. A good starting dose is 100ug. Always trip with people you trust, in a place that is comfortable to you.

That's all, please stay safe and remember to respect all substances! LSD is truly a gift. Here is a resource if you'd like to read more, it also touches up on drug interactions: https://pastebin.com/wACebERe
