    Except for LSD, LSD can create crystals in your brain and make you trip for weeks. The rest of them, yeah, I agree with you.

      LSD does not form crystals in your brain or anywhere else in your body. That’s some nonsense they made up to scare kids in the 60’s.

        My partner knows someone it happened to. The guy ended up in the hospital for weeks because he was constantly tripping. I also tried to google it, and I found several reddit threads of people complaining about trips that weren’t ending like they’re supposed to.

          Whatever happened to the person your partner knows, it was not LSD forming crystals in their brain. That’s not a thing.

            I don’t know what happened to him. I just know it happened. Maybe it’s not crystals forming in the brain, but that does happen, which was the point of my comment.

              This can’t possibly be a real person.

              This sentence is so poorly constructed and contradictory that it seems like it was written by a bottom of the barrel LLM.

              For something that totally happens, Google is completely unaware of it. Why can’t you just accept you’re wrong? Sounds like you confused what you heard.

              LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals. It is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in the ergot fungus that grows on rye and other grains. It is produced in crystal form in illegal laboratories, mainly in the United States. These crystals are converted to a liquid for distribution.

              Created as a crystal, not crystals in the brain, seems like the most likely explanation.

              The point was lost when you started repeating someone else’s made up bullshit about LSD, repeatedly, like it was factual.

              Be open to change rather than closed minded and too arrogant to just admit you were wrong.

                I did say maybe it wasn’t crystals, but a guy did spend a bunch of time in the hospital, that happened. And it’s not a random person, it’s my partner who told me this, not some random person. I did concede that it may not be crystals, literally said that. But he did spend a bunch of time in the hospital, that is a fact. Don’t know why people would keep telling me I’m wrong about someone spending time in the hospital.

                  No, you walked back your claim after being called out for playing the “My partner knows someone it happened to” in response to the guy that said crystals were nonsense made up to scare 60s kids.

                  Just admit you were wrong instead of doubling down on changing your claim, it doesn’t mean you lose the game, everything is made up and the points don’t matter.

                    I literally just said maybe it wasn’t crystals in his brain. Read the comments above. Why are you still wasting your time here?

                    Do I need to issue an apology, and write a letter too to say I was wrong? Jesus, people on the internet…

          It’s not forming crystals in your brain…

          Some people with a relatively unstable psychology and/or who don’t follow the “set and setting,” could experience a bad trip which can trigger an episode of predisposed psychosis. More often than not, this can easily be prevented by having a competent sitter guiding you and not going full out with a heroic (max-effect) dose your first time.

          Think of it like learning to drive, you wouldn’t hop into a sports car solo, and expect not to have a good chance of screwing something up

          The guy ended up in the hospital for weeks because he was constantly tripping.

          More than likely they were dosed with something other than lsd, or they had a psychotic episode brought on by LSD. There are designer drugs out there that people sell as LSD, that have a much longer active time.

          LSD does hang around in the brain longer than one would initially believe based on dosage, but it’s recently been proven that the lysergic acid gets temporarily trapped in serotonin receptors.
