Between the age of about 20-30, I took LSD about 7-8 times, one cautious dose each time, and never had a bad trip.

What impressed me the most about LSD was how the ordinary seemed extraordinary. I remember looking out the window and watching the leaves on the trees quiver in the breeze. It was just sooo cool. One time I spent the evening hanging out with my grandma and another time I just relaxed with my family, watching TV, eating supper etc.

I didn't really have hallucinations (probably because I didn't drop multiple doses) but was just very happy. While at my grandma's house, I watched a scary flick and each time something scary happened, it sent me into peals of laughter. That's an atypical reaction for me.

What worries me about drugs today is that the illegality combined with the emphasis on the money making aspect of the drug trade makes it much more risky. You never know what people are trying to sell you. They even lace marijuana with just about anything these days. You don't know what you are getting. One of my son's friends died from smoking pot laced with formaldehyde.

I'm probably a hypocrite for wanting my son and grandsons to avoid drugs since I had my own fun experimenting when I was younger. I still think it would be better if they did not criminalize drugs because it makes it more attractive to minors and easier to sell drugs with unsafe additives, not to mention fills up jails and prisons with non-violent criminals.

I also wish they would stop feeding kids misinformation (propaganda) because that doesn't help either. Once they figure out that they have been lied to about things like marijuana, they don't believe what they have been told about things like cocaine and heroin.
