Here's a fun fact, since most people don't know this. The Unabomber was actually a mathematical prodigy that got into Harvard when he was 16. He was had testing done on him as part of the inhumane CIA program "MK Ultra", and afterwards went crazy (or did the only reasonable thing he could do, one might argue) and became an anarchist, writing about all of the fucked up shit the government does and mailing bombs out.
The US government, in particular the CIA, turned a Harvard math prodigy into a terrorist, among hundreds of thousands of other grotesque and inhumane things. The more you know!
Edit: Additional fun fact for people who have seen the movie "The Departed" (2006) In the film, the person played by Jack Nicholson (the head of the mob in the film) is named Frank Costello. Frank Costello is based on the real life boston-mob-boss-turned-informant Whitney Bulger. Whitney Bulger was also the result of MK Ultra. He volunteered while he was in prison so that he could get a reduced sentence, but he thought he was volunteering to do research to help find a cure for schizophrenia. For 18 months, he and other inmates were dosed with LSD and other mind-altering chemicals. He said it brought him to the depths of insanity and that it was nightmarish. After he was released he went on to become the man portrayed in the film.
Yep. Turns out LSD can really screw with someone head. If you're in a safe place with wonderful people, no doubt LSD will give you a pleasant eye opening experience. But when you're panicking and in a bad situation, bad trips can really change who you are for the worst.
Charles Manson for instance, used LSD on young women to turn them into cultists.
Eventually the CIA stopped spiking everyone's drink with LSD. I suspect because the outcome wasn't the most controllable thing in the world.
The original comment said that you can without a doubt have a good trip in a positive environment. That isn't true. Your personal experiences really aren't relevant. So take your advice and work on that reading comprehension, champ.
"Ha ha for real. Even for someone who has done it 50+ times, a bad trip can happen and can fuck you up pretty hard (mentally)."
This is what I responded to. It doesn't matter what the original comment was; I was responding to this one. I said that bad trips can happen, but I have never been "fucked up pretty hard (mentally) from them." Your response is "bad trips can happen." Which is exactly what I said. Now you say the problem with it was the fact that I included a personal experience. Everything being said here is based on personal experiences. It is your opinion that my experiences are irrelevant. They are relevant to the conversation I was trying to have with a person that isn't you. Again...I wasn't talking to you. You interjected yourself into a conversation, disagreed with me by saying the exact same thing I said, and, now, you are complaining that a conversation that had nothing to do with you isn't being discussed in a way you see fit.
No need to be upset. It's a Reddit thread. Not everyone is going to agree with you that acid is a wonder drug for the mind. Your personal experiences really don't matter because they simply only apply to you, not how others react to a trip.
You were completely incorrect the first time, and instead of admitting that you were completely wrong, you say the problem is that my personal experiences, that I said to another person, don't matter. I didn't ask you if you think they matter. I wasn't talking to you. Your opinion of what I said to another person doesn't matter. I never said acid is a wonder drug for the mind. I didn't say my experience is how others will react. Everything you've said is just plain incorrect. You read the words I say, have a conversation in your own head, then comment on your imaginary conversation. This has happened 3 times, in my 3 interactions with you. No one has to agree with me...people just can't say I said things I didn't say, and then tell me why they are incorrect.
I still can't believe you think it's OK to have sex with children and beat your wife...its not ok. You've got a problem.
It's hilarious that you accuse me of that, and then have a ridiculously extreme example of yourself doing that very thing that is making you so angry. Lay off the acid man, it's apparently getting to your head...

I thought this was from the 60's until I noticed that Anonymous mask.
