Is that possible?
The drug counselor at my college, when asked by someone in the audience at a presentation he was giving about drug history, which drug would be the least harmful to use if someone wanted to, said immediately, "LSD."
A collective gasp was let out by the crowd, especially considering he'd just said earlier it would take smoking 15 pounds of marijuana in 30 minutes to OD on it. That seemed pretty darn safe.
- nyolfen 7y agoit's nearly impossible to cause physical harm with lsd, but not difficult to inflict psychological harm, especially in people who would are already vulnerable or predisposed to mental illness
- pstuart 7y agoYep. I did it over 100 times including a couple bad trips. A friend of mine was more fragile started abusing it as well and didn't do as well.

- stef25 7y agoYes it can absolutely affect your sanity. A few friends of mine developed schizophrenia (which they may have anyway later in life without psychs). I've had a few bad trips. It's a bit like being seasick. At first you worry you're going to die, then you worry you're not going to die. Psychedelics are amazing and life changing but they can also put you through mental torture in ways you can't imagine until you've experienced it.
