geared Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Syd Barrett went pretty mental, although he wasn't just using LSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressconsul Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Now I should get my fair share. I missed out on the psychedelic drugs in my youth because my old mum was sadly schizophrenic and I was worried these drugs would do the same for me.

apelike Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Syd Barrett went pretty mental, although he wasn't just using LSD. Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac was another. There was a famous quote by someone? who said that the best thing that happened to John Lennon was that Yoko got him off LSD and onto Heroin. Personally I have had many trips which I enjoyed and have sampled most except for Amanita muscaria: fly agaric. Did read recently that people on their death bed should be given LSD. Edit..

Halibut Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oh, wait, they don't. http://www.nature.com/news/no-link-found-between-psychedelics-and-psychosis-1.16968 people who had used LSD and psilocybin had lower lifetime rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts. Panic over. ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 16:21 ---------- It turns out the opposite may be true http://jop.sagepub.com/content/29/3/280 From the Nature piece - ''people who had used LSD and psilocybin had lower lifetime rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts.'' Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
