Well I&#x27;ve written to this page before and I don&#x27;t know if you guys have read any of my stuff, but if you have you know that I have had a few wild trips...  But here&#x27;s the deal, LSD does have side effects, I have found no long term effects, but let me relate to you the short term side effects that I experienced.  
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I am a very experienced LSD user, I have taken many different kinds from liquid, to geltabs, to paper, to pills.  I started a count when I first started using it and at about that time there was an LSD explosion in my area, in Massachusetts, it was everywhere, I was getting sheets for a dollar a hit.  Making a killing, but here&#x27;s my point, I ate a lot of it too.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Once when I ended up tripping 6 days in a one week, (which a slept every night that week) by the end of the week I was having trouble organizing things into the proper order in my brain, I was affected for about a month, in which I stopped all use for that month.  For instance, when I was in a place with a lot happening like an intersection in the road, I couldn&#x27;t seem to grasp where I was and I was in a state of complete confusion, not knowing what to do at all.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
That is just an isolated incidence, but as I kept taking the drug more and more things kept happening, my night vision was shot to hell, I couldn&#x27;t really distinguish things in the dark anymore, even at a close range of 5 feet or so.  Whereas before I had excellent night vision, my ability to navigate and sense of direction was completely disorientated.  I had trouble formulating sentences and keeping my thoughts together in my head.  (just to note, this also happened when I was sober, and I frequently took breaks from LSD usually for a period of 2 weeks to month) I also used to have a stuttering problem when I was much younger, that also came back, very badly, I couldn&#x27;t get two words out of my mouth without stuttering.  (this happened around month 8)
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I felt less intelligent, but at the same time all this &#x27;damage&#x27; was happening, I felt like my emotional self was being healed, like all the anger and sadness from my childhood was being released, I felt like I was figuring out the meaning to life, and the purpose of it all.  And so much more I can&#x27;t explain but is now a part of me, and anyone who&#x27;s taken LSD knows what I&#x27;m talking about here.  So in conclusion, LSD does cause some kind of &#x27;damage&#x27; (I use damage for lack of a better word, by the way, hopefully you understand what I&#x27;m trying to get at)
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
As far as I am concerened all the problems I have refered to have repaired themselves, but it took a while.  I probably won&#x27;t ever use LSD ever again, because even though it brings you to a holy place there are side effects, and there must be a way to get there naturally, maybe mescalin :).  But it has been a year and a month since I have taken LSD and like I said all these problems have vanished.  But it took about 6-8 months for them to completely vanish.  So I am saying this, to all you academics out there, there hasn&#x27;t been a study that proves LSD causes damage, but there also haven&#x27;t been studies that prove LSD doesn&#x27;t cause damage, so there you go take it for what it&#x27;s worth.  With any drug, it&#x27;s good to be careful and use it only in moderation, I did not and had side effects.  So just remember, I know what I know and you know what you know, you may not agree with me, but hey that&#x27;s life.  Try what I did and see if it happens, I bet you won&#x27;t...  Because even though you may say it doesn&#x27;t cause damage, I bet you really do believe somewhere in that 12% of your brain you use.
