I do not think drugs should be legal I guess I kind of felt pressure to say that. My real concern is that people on this website ACTUALLY think LSD is OK and I disagree with that 100%. I actually agree with you. I am sorry if I made it look like I think drugs are OK.
I know, I know, I'm a terrible person for thinking that LSD is ok.
From the National Institute of Drug Abuse "LSD is not considered an addictive drug since it does not produce compulsive drug-seeking behavior. However, LSD does produce tolerance, so some users who take the drug repeatedly must take progressively higher doses to achieve the state of intoxication that they had previously achieved."
Here's what I assume you keep hinting at, even though you have no evidence to back it up aside from band members. "In some individuals, the flashbacks can persist and cause significant distress or impairment in social or occupational functioning, a condition known as hallucinogen-induced persisting perceptual disorder (HPPD)."
However, HPPD is almost exclusively linked with people who do other hallucinogens (*cough* Peyote *cough*) and only really occurs if the subject has pre-existing mental conditions such as schizophrenia, OCD, manic depression, &c.
Brian Wilson, who you used as your first example, was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type which supposedly caused him to hear voices in his head. He wasn't a normal person taking LSD. Likewise, Dave Grohl took LSD during a time when he was suffering from severe depression over the death of Kurt Cobain.
LSD does give you flashbacks, but it has only been proven in cases where there are definitive pre-existing mental conditions.
I don't take LSD, but don't give me the whole "you can't be a good Christian and support use of drugs" spiel, because I'm tired of it.
I don't support use of drugs. Heck, I don't even do drugs. But neither pot nor LSD have any serious side effects to the degree of alcohol, and yet alcohol is perfectly legal. Unless you've joined the local temperance league, strop trying to insinuate that I'm a bad person because I listen to ideas proposed.
