I did it some in high school.. and once in college.. Half the time it was totally awesome; half the time it was mostly me waiting to come back down.. It's worth trying if you are totally 100% mentally stable. If you aren't - or have had any kind of mental trauma - it will totally come out in the most embarassing way.

I've never done it nor do I remember hearing of it being available around here or where I went to school.

Shrooms & 2C's are more common these days, at with the people I've tripped with. 2C-I is not a scheduled drug in the United States, however, it is very similar to 2C-B so is of questionable legality.

LSD was easily available when I was in High School, but during that time I lived 2 hours away from one of the largest LSD labs in the world, so that may of had something to do with it.

No I have not and pretty much no one I knew ever did it, except older people who had done it in their earlier years. I think I've heard of being able to get it only a few times throughout all of high school and college, so I conclude it is pretty rare where I am from, considering all of the other stuff I could get.

Wow. In my day, when I was in college (mid/late 90s) there was a LOT of LSD going around. Lots of white blotter, occasional geltabs, leary hits, garcia tabs, you name it. This all faded away for two reasons. 1. Ecstacy 2. Insane sentences for LSD possession, manufacture, distribution. The chemists go where the money is and it's not in LSD anymore.

Besides, kids nowadays want to just feel high, they're scared of probing their inner consciousness. LSD is scary if you're not prepared or think it's some fun type of escapist high. Tripping your face off can be frightening if you have any sort of unresolved psychological conflicts going on. You need to be at peace with yourself and willing to go places you never dreamed of inside your own head.

It's something you only want to do a few times when you're young and stupid. There's really no time or place for it when you're older and have a family. Tripping properly requires you to have a full day off, preferably two, when you can sit in an environment you have full control over.

LSD is just one psychadelic. Shrooms are another and the experiences can be similar.

Read some Kesey or Leary and check out some of the facts on erowid. It's not for everyone.

It is still around. People still do it. It depends on your mind as to how you will feel if when you take it.

haven't seen real doses in a couple years. in the 90's it was much easier to find than any other drug.

I've never, and will never, do it. I have an uncle who... did too much. I keep track of him by the open court cases against him.

I've had my fair share of mushies, and I've been tripsitter for people on acid, but as a rule of thumb I have always avoided the chemically manufactured drugs.

I know for a fact that there is lots of acid out there these days. I went to a Ekoostik Hookah festival this summer and believe me there was thousands of hits of very strong acid there. If you are involved in the hippie/rave/club underground you could definitely find it along with anything else. Its easy to fall into the trap of thinking its not common anymore but the fact is that just because you personally aren't around something doesn't mean there isn't alot out there.

The hippie icon is not accidental.

Agree that most acid is something else.

Enjoyed it when I was young & could spend time watching the rug patterns kaleidoscope.

Did it once, I know people who still have it and drop it quite frequently. In fact, a roommate of a friend just had an incident in which he spilled some liquid on his hands, began tripping, so much he didn't think he was tripping. So he soaked up the remaining liquid with a sugar cube and ate it. Needless to say he ended up tripping for two days.
