- From my exprerience, it seems like, MAYBE, if someone deliberately
- WANTED to become all fucked up in the head, they could make that imprint,
- as long as ALL the portions of their brain agreed on the idea. However,
- this would not be any stronger than, say, the person deciding to act
- weird and doing so until SHe was that way out of habit.
- As far as what it would take them to become not weird anymore:
- take another acid trip and imprint yourself to be normal again because
- weirdness is getting lame.
-
- Or vegetability could, hypothetically be caused INDIRECTLY by acid if,
- for some reason, while tripping you thought it might be "neat" to eat some
- MPTP. Of course, the combination just might cause another Stephen Hawking.
- But most tripping people wouldn't be that dumb, and the paranioa
- factor wold be more likely to keep them from such.
-
- That's about all the possibilities of such, exhaustively.
