The Recreational Drug Thread (shows, quote, Lute)

[[MERIT]]

As Ethan asked a while back, the LSD/spinal stuff is 100% true. My friend (who has more than a few drug experiences under his belt) slipped a disk and had to have a spinal tap. Out of nowhere he started tripping just like on acid. I don't know if it builds up in your spine or what the deal was, but all the LSD he'd ever done bit him in the ass at the doctor's office.

I don't believe you. LSD does not stay in your system for more than two days. That statement has experimental evidence backing it. Anything to the contrary has only anecdotal evidence which, when it comes to drugs, is more often than not bs.

Well, pardon all the "experimental evidence," but a firsthand account is highly more reliable. Anecdote or no, it DID happen. I' not saying it will happen every time, but it did this time.

i believe him cause my bro was wrestling one day and got piledrived in the back and he had a short lived trip

yes. almost all "conventional knowledge" surrounding acid is complete bullshit.

what you provided was a second-hand account,
and absolutely no medical reasoning behind why
getting a spinal tap would make "hidden acid reserves"
all of a sudden leak into his system, nor how the
acid got lodged there in the first place. so yes,
i'll stick with the research that shows that lsd has
a half-life of about 5 hours and then is no longer in your blood.

Okay twat, my re-telling of a good friend's 1st hand account is technically a 2nd hand account. You're re-telling of what some supposed researchers (whom you've never ACTUALLY met or ACTUALLY conversed with) is technically a 2nd hand account as well. Myth or not, it can and did happen.

I'd be happy to have my friend register, create an account, dig up this thread and silence your criticism if you'd like, but that seems a bit extreme. I don't appreciate being called a liar by someone who is hardly qualified to pass any sort of judgment on me or my remarks.

i'm not necessarily saying you're a liar, i'm just
saying that either you are a liar, your friend is a liar,
or he misinterpreted a strange experience or you
misunderstood his retelling of it. pick whichever
suits you best.

I'll go with: I'm not a lair, my friend is not a liar, my friend is not stupid enough to misinterpret an acid trip, I'm not stupid enough to misunderstand a plain english re-telling of an event. pick whichever suits you best.
