Hello Lizzie, there were one or two in my school in the early 70s who experimented with acid but they were very few. It was usually (argueably) the more so called thinking or arty young people of the school. But the rest of us had heard so many bad stories about people jumping out of windows etc. that we just did not want to take the risk. Not only that my school had quite a bad reputation and all we wanted to do was get out of there and find a job. A friend of mine had experimented and later suffered from flashbacks and just hearing her say that kept me away from it.

Funny that you come to mention it there are far more many instances of mental illnesses in the young generation now than ever before and far more cases of young people having to be sectioned and put into the high-dependency units. I wonder why too.
