there are so many widespread ridiculous myths about drugs. this article is pretty awesome:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legends_about_illegal_drugs
Interesting read. At this point in my life I'm experienced enough to weed out the BS.
A couple things in the wiki caught my eye though.
Sun gazing on LSD
- a few friends and I acquired 100 hits of blotter acid.
Plenty experienced with LSD but had only had it dropped straight in my mouth(stupid) or onto candy in front of me.
-long story short took way too much and stuff got real.
-I had taken over my friends living room because I had a sword and was getting lost in the movement of the blade.
-anyways after doing this for who knows how long I realize my hand feels slimy and when I look do the handle, which was crafter like a crazy ass lizard, was now real and attaching itself to my hand. Luckily I was the only one tripping at this time and so everyone was already giving me space, because j chunked it and decided to go outside and try to get that out of my mind.
- it worked instantly. Spring time in Texas. About 10am. Not a cloud in the sky.
-I was fascinated by the sun and honestly did get lost in it. Obviously I didn't go blind, but I was startled back to reality by a friend. When I asked him how long I had been out here he said he was sure.
- so what I'm getting at, is that it's at least a possibility. Who knows how long I would have stood there staring at the sun if I hadn't been interrupted.

"Cheese"
So in the wiki it says how the first report of "cheese"( BTH mixed with Tylenol PM or just Benadryl.) were NOT actually verified and was quit possibly created as a hoax that became very real.
I hopped on the cheese train many years ago in 2007 and life has never been the same. Many dead or at the very least incarcerated for a period of time. Myself included. I got tired of putting copious amounts of powder up my nose and I knew it was doing my liver any favors and switched to the needle. I'm sure the media was behind the "heroin starter kit" pandemic, but I can't say I disagree.
Heroin is all over DFW. Nine years later I'm still battling it. I guess I should consider myself lucky. I found one of these links in the "cheese" expanded wiki and one from a simple search.

I know, well... Knew, people involved in both of these cases. I'm just lucky I didn't get wrapped up in selling it. I mean what addict doesn't at least consider it?
