why is everyone so damned scared of acid? i tell people i tried it and they look at me like im crazy. i suggest other people they should try it and they act like im suggesting they skydive with an anvil for a pparachute. no joke. i know a girl who smokes crack on occasion and loves shrooms but is scared to take acid. the girl is cool with fuckin crack but thinks acid is too hardcore. i also know tons of stoners who are all about shroomin and smokin weed but wont try acid. i dunno about you, but in my experience, acid has way less body load than shrooms, and though they have never tried acid they asure me i am wrong. i would think people so open minded about other things would be down to try it but no. also, people who are down to try acid always think its way more hardcore than shroomin so they wanna do that first. i always tell them "no man, acid is way less mindfuck" but since its natural they thiink that means im wrong. sorry for the rant.

Well it might your own idiosyncrasy that you are more likely to bad trip off of weed than acid. Generally speaking, that would not be the case since weed is a lot less psychedelic than acid, not to mention shorter acting. That being said, there is always an inherent danger of bad tripping off of any psychedelic if the user's set and setting are not conducive to that trip.

However, I'd agree that acid gets a lot worse rap than other drugs even though it is far safer physiologically, has zero physical addiction potential, and very low affinity psychological addiction potential. Just the other day, this random dude I was chatting with was saying that he knows someone who dropped acid and their IQ fell like 20 points because they gave up on a corporate career and chose to follow some other profession. I was astounded at this statement and proceeded to tell him just how unlikely the case is of the guy's IQ falling 20 points due to his acid use! Indeed people look at meth as a less dangerous drug than acid even though acid is nothing compared to the destructive potential of meth. I'd guess it's misinformation and propaganda from the 60s that the gov't had spread to counter the high LSD use of those days. Acid did make people question authority and break out of the accepted norms of society. And of course, that could not be tolerated so acid was maligned like crazy. As they have been passed down through the generations since then, those lies and misinformation have become more convoluted and distorted resulting in the impression that acid is an extremely toxic and dangerous substance. The best any person can do to defend these lies is to inform people with facts and I am glad that's exactly what you did.
 
Hell, I know people who do LSA and will still tell me they will never ever touch LSD.

ITS TWO DAMN ETHYL GROUPS
 
How to avoid bad trips on acid: Don't be scared of it. Between mushrooms and acid, mushrooms actually scare me more than acid, though i haven't done mushrooms yet. Some people say mushrooms are easier than acid, others say acid is easier. Depends on the person I think.
 
Oh well. More acid for us if the ignorant little poop tards dont want to use it because "its really dangerous." If youre not careful, you might even end up with holes in your brain. ;)
 
Its because tryptamines are too much.

I just finished a 72 hour PCP binge, and that was ALOT easier to handle than a 12 hour acid trip, mentally, emotionally, functionally, and physically.

You wanna talk about drugs with bad rep, toss the word PCP out into those conversations and see peoples reactions.

But to me, LSD, and all tryptamines including shrooms and RCs, are just too much 'bullshit' not enough 'goodshit'... as opposed to, narcotics for example, or as the OP brought up in regards to some lady, crack.

If you've never smoked crack, youd be suprised to find the high isnt hardcore at all its very 'basic', and very easy to handle... but LSD... THAT to me is what a HARDCORE high is.

I cant handle any tryptamines anymore, or even coke because that shits got too much negative serotonin effects. Gimme maryjane, opioids and PCP anyday, those are the three greatest drugs you'll ever find, if your judging with my criteria.

aww... and I had such high hopes for PCP...
 
Why are people scared of acid?
Propaganda of LSD in the 60's and 70's which is now built up even more through the media and movies. I can't stand all the rumors that float around.. "If you take acid 7 times you are legally insane." "You will have horrible flashbacks for the rest of your life." "You will become retarded and have schizofrania." All of them are bullshit.

Shrooms are way more scarier than acid. Just one bad shroom can kill you if you don't know what your doing. The only thing I think you really have to worry about with acid is having a bad trip.

Not sure what you mean by "bad" shroom, but no psilocybin-containing mushrooms are going to kill you.
 
Silly as it sounds, I think the term itself contributes somewhat. "Acid" is something you generally don't want touching your skin, let alone something you put willingly into your mouth. "Acid" is something that makes stomachs churn, leaves spots in the paint on the hood of your car after a rainstorm, and is useful for dissolving the corpse of the guy you recently murdered who's lying incriminatingly in your bathtub. Surely something that caustic will melt your grey matter like microwaved ricotta, right?

no.

I get sever psychotic derealisation from weed but not from acid. Then again I don't touch either anymore
 
Acid is the only shit that has really scared me. Done it plenty of times, too, but I doubt I will ever do it again unless really special circumstances come along. I don't blame them for being scared, it has a lot of potential for good or bad depending on the moons and whatever else comes into play in that crazy realm.
 
People are scared of acid because its scary. Simple.

Also enjoyable. But the adverse effects can be pretty convincing. I personally find being around people on acid quite disturbing- its so clear that something is dramatically wrong with them.

I personally hate the feelings of dissociatives, and would much rather the intense blast of salvia or DMT/5-Meo-DMT then the lenghtiness of LSD and others.

I also hate MDMA and will never touch it again. . .
