Cannabis - The Miracle Plant

The way I see it: Tobacco companies are the only ones to blame for cannabis to be considered a devil drug. The would lose too much money if there was a less-lethal, funkier alternative to cancer sticks. Now a question for acid trippers: is it true that LSD doesn't create an addiction per se because its only a catalyst (sp?) for substances the brain produces naturally?

... Is this a joke? It seems like you used to hold the opposite opinion quite vocally.

I don't think anyone's discovered why LSD does what it does, though I could be wrong. It's like anti-depressants and anti-psychotics - scientists make an educated guess but they don't have concrete reasons for how it actually works. I think the main reason it's not addictive is because its such an intensely demented experience not many people want to go through it twice, let alone every day.
 
I tried Acid a few times and from my experience I woujld say that it is not at all addictive(maybe thats why the gov't puts it in the same boat as weed). In fact after your done tripping for about 10 hrs you really don't feel doing it again for a very LONG time. its just such an pshycoactive expereince, that really exhausts you. You also start feeling like the biggest Idiot in the world when you find it hard to construct complete sentences.

Joking aside, you might as well ask why LSD is still illegal and possession of it will land you in jail longer than first degree murder will. You stoners have it easy compared to trippers. And no, I don't do either.

LSD is a mind altering substance that allows you to gain a greater understanding of yourself and the world around you by expanding you conciousness.

"Trippers" and other fools who take it for a color show are idiots. The runied it for the medical and psychological comunity.

Has anybody seen these Partnership for A drug free America Commercials? There fucking hilarious....

The 'Partnership' is a partnership of drug, food, tobacco and alcohol companies. They don't want you to do THOSE drugs, they want you to use THEIR drugs!

From what I've read it seems like if any one person is responsible for it being "ruined" for anyone, Tim Leary is. The guy was a publicity hungry basket case and responsible for bringing it to the publics eye more than anyone else.
 
He might of just really liked it though, and the publicity was just a side-effect?

I have a friend, who will remain nameless. He discovered acid for himself and decided he liked it. ALOT.

So my friend bought VIALS of the shit and went around town GIVING away free acid.

...He ended up spilling a vial of acid on his hand and going completely nuts, though...

One of my profressors was very close to the man, so I can speak with a tad more personal knowledge then most. Almost everything describing Leary is off center.

Tim Leary was a brilliant psychologist who did a great deal of research into the medical use of LSD. He did many important studies that honestly made LSD, when used in a clinical situation, look like a "magic bullet" for most psychological problems. While it was true that he was a bit extream, and even those who knew him say his... extream personality screwed up his message, he did not make LSD illegal.

What put the bullet in LSD was when Art Linkletter's daughter walked out a window on an LSD. That event combined with the products of dozens of other bad trip dating back to when army Biotech scientist Frank Olson took a CIA related nosedive out of a window after being slipped some Acid on a interservice get togeather.

Leary gave LSD some bad press. It was the dumbass trippers who ruined it.

One of the things about acid is you cannot OD... Though if you injest an entire vial, you'll probelly be coming down sometime in the 2010s...

Did you know about the kinda shit the CIA did with LSD?

In the name of seeing what it would do, they'd slip it into eachother's coffie at work, they'd hire drug adicted whores to give it to their clients and observe the effects when they had sex, they attemped to spray San Fran with it to see "what would happen," and the most cruel thing they'd do was they'd strap people down so they can't move and are looking into bright lights and would put them on LSD. That last one would drive anyone stark raving mad.
 
Actually people have been known to put large amounts of acid in food and drinks to use it as a poison. Of cource it didn't kill them, but it pretty much turns them into a vegetable.
