I never worked up the guts to try it. Heard a few nightmare stories of trips gone crazy. Can a bad trip actually scar you (psychologically) for life?
Not for any normal person.
When the government was doing research on the subject, the doses required to fsck someones mind over were mind boggling. Nobody would ever do that much at once on their own.
There is no logical reason LSD is illegal, just like there is no logical reason marijuana is illegal.
Granted, LSD shouldn't be compared to marijuana, but it is arguably just as safe. It isn't going to kill you. It's not addictive. I've never heard of an LSD junkie. You just don't do that.
It has a strange "hard drug" stigma around it with most people. Many of the same people have no problems with mushrooms, though. Even though LSD is more intense than mushrooms, its certainly in the same vein.
LSD isn't something people do just to get fucked up on a whim, like you can with marijuana or alcohol. It tends to be more planned out and purposeful.
Edit: At least with the people I associate myself with....
I think when you take it just to trip balls, and are not in the right places with the right people.. is when you run into problems.
The thing is that the demand for LSD is so low, that it doesn't even register. When was the last time you heard about an LSD bust, or even someone getting charged with posession?
I think it should be legal. Nothing would change. The people that want to do LSD are going to do it regardless.
