There's no use arguing man, this will just go on forever^
I'd also point out that I personally believe weed to be more harmful than LSD, in my experience and what I've seen it do to people. It's a gradual degradation.
Don't worry, I'm not carrying this on much longer if it's going to continue like this, and I already gave me real response to this thread and my reasons for it so I'm really not too concerned with where this goes anyway....
I think the weed vs LSD thing is debatable. I've never seen someone so deep into weed that they couldn't come out of it if they truly wanted to. The same I would say is true of LSD, but I would have to imagine that an LSD-induced psychosis probably takes a little more working with than a weed-induced psychosis. The only thing I would say that LSD has over weed is the lack of ability to use it every day, so weed is just easier to work into a habit... but I don't think that's really a bad thing either as long as you use it properly.
I will admit that I see people blow a lot more of their hard-earned money on weed than I do on LSD.
You think the amount of resarch was ridiculous? That is truly sad. LSD has not been thoroughly researched. You obviously have not spent any time forming your own ideas; for your own sake, I hope you haven't. Are you pulling my leg?
It creates prolonged psychological problems and because the research was poorly done and not thorough I cannot spout off statistics to compare it with other drugs. Lack of knowledge does not make it safe and your beliefs based on your own personal experience and laughable critique of the research done on LSD do not mean it is safe. LSD has the potential to destroy a person.
If you don't think LSD has been thoroughly researched compared to almost every other recreational drug there is, you clearly haven't done enough psychedelic research of your own. That's all I have to say to that.
As Xorkoth said down there, I have already said that LSD has negatives. No drug doesn't. But that's doesn't mean *anything* as far as it compares to other drugs. If you think a bad trip will destroy someone's life more thoroughly and more readily than a drug addiction, I have to imagine you've never met an addict before.... Plus, any psychological issue can be worked on. People come back from much worse than bad trips. The difference with LSD compared to lots of other drugs is there there will be no physical problems to work on at the same time.
All I've seen you do so far is criticize my points but not really respond to them, and not make many solid ones of your own, so until then I'm following 240sxLover's advice and I'm done with this conversation. Give me some recreational drugs that you think are safer than LSD and the reasons why, and then we'll talk.
Which she agreed with. So let's say no psychedelic (or drug) is safe. But as far as psychedelics go, LSD is safer than most because of the lack of physical concerns. Again, no psychedelic is 100% safe, some people react very badly mentally to psychedelics. And a lot of people don't. I agree LSD hasn't been studied nearly as well as it should, but it's been studied as much as any psychedelic and more than most.
Fixed.
This is exactly the point I'm trying to make. LSD like any other drug has the potential to cause dangers, but so does walking out the front door in the morning, and what we
do know about LSD's safety compared to other drugs is quite a lot....
Calling the drug safe is just obnoxious. It is illegal which does not really help us understand how safe it is. People are getting told that it is safer than Aspirin. Prescription use allowed Aspirin users to be studied and provided evidence Aspirin was not 100% safe. Before that you would assume aspirin was totally safe. LSD is not safer than Aspirin. It is less understood because the use is illegal.
No one here is talking about Aspirin. Bringing that in to a discussion about recreational drugs is just grasping at straws....
