By the time that people were mixing speed with it, actual dosages wereIn the early 80s I remembering getting some of the famous Goofy blotter, rated around 125 ugm. Microdots were around 35ugm.
much less (adding amphetamines to 250mic LSD is fairly pointless) and >today most, from what I hear, are around 75-100 mic.
Hardly. Well, wandering around anywhere is not a good idea -- set and settingWell, wandering around in Soho NYC back when all the avante-garde galleries were there was quite a trip...some of these galleries were desgined already to be "immersive", so that plus LSD really allowed one to leave one's normal psychological space and step into an alien one. This isn't exactly an obvious step on the path towards ego-destruction, but it does open one's mind up to ideas and modes of being that one's normal nature would have never truly encountered.
are extremely important.
Well, I'm not so sure. Surely you must be aware of the stories of Villages in Spain and wherever receiving a bad batch of ergot-infected bread, and then going collectively wacky, with suicides and whatnot. Some people really aren't in a place where they can handle losing control and seeing through all of their most cherished beliefs like wet tissue paper. Palestinians locked in a daily struggle with life and death might not take too well to being "raptured" all of a sudden. (BTW, ever read "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer" by PK Dick?)
Yup - increase their dose. Best thing that could happen to the world would be
the development of a benign airforce that sprayed a fog of lsd/dmso on areas
like Palestine. Real LSD, that is. Or better yet, psilocybin. 8-)
I'm finding out this is apparently true with many drugs. Most heroin "overdoses" (as I have been informed by someone who ran a detox ward) are actually reactions to crap mixed in with the Herion (or once in a great while a dealer giving a hated customer an unexpectedly pure dose). The toxicity of Herion isn't very high, particularly for someone who's been building up a tolerance for a few years. (Crack's a different story....really bad for the heart.)Obviously it wasn't LSD.
So the moral of this story is that illegalization of most drugs is what kills people!
Perhaps we have underestimated the wisdom of the CIA! (Or are they the ones who initially put crap in the drugs they smuggle?)
