I believe all drugs should be legal. If you want to create programs for people who need help voluntarily then go for it, you'll have my support. If you want to by force prohibit people from doing what they want with their own body, and being responsible for the consequences of their choice then I am very much against that.

As with any drug there can be some real negative effects. Yet any substance can be abused, and that is the responsibility of the person.

LSD...

I had lots of friends that did LSD. I didn't I am weird enough without needing any assistance.

I had one friend out of many though that had a very bad reaction to it after years of doing it.

He was a smart guy, and had lots of girls fawning after him, calling him Tall Dark and Handsome, he played bass guitar. I'd chat with him and hang out with him sometimes.

I hadn't seen him for a couple of years once I was in college and I happened to go to this party. He walked in, his hair was all over, he was dirty, his teeth were black, and he sat on a couch and he just stared blankly ahead of him...

I asked "what happened to him?"

I was told "He ate an entire sheet of acid and has been like that every sense".

He is the only friend I have that this happened to. My parents are hippies and were around when it was popular. They had a few friends fried by LSD in the early days, but for the most part it doesn't seem to have such an effect.

Due to the illegal nature the safety of batches of LSD cannot be verified, so it could be bad batch, or simply overdose which is likely the case with my friend.

Years after that I'd see him on the side of the road with a bicycle somewhere staring up at the sky... I'd look and not see anything there.

It really messed him up, but eating a sheet of acid was a pretty dumb thing to do if that is indeed what he did.
