- The person had other problems. I would have enjoyed the experience
- he had (assuming I could have it without his emotional state. I
- have abused alcohol, but I have never thought I abused LSD or
- some other drugs I have taken. I think the author of the post
- was over-generalising (which might explain why his LSD experiences
- were bad -- a healthy scepticism is good for LSD use). If he
- needs to do that to stay sane right now, good for him. I would
- not generalise his experience to others.
