- Well I have. Ended up in the mental hospital for 6 days. I'll spare you
- the details but let me just say this. After you trip if you can't sleep
- immediatley take a heavy dose of a OTC sleep medication. This is mentioned
- in the faq but I hadn't noticed it and didn't follow it's advice. Also if
- you have intimate relationships with someone who is ambivalent or paranoid
- about drugs - do it in secret. These people can bring you down hard. I won't
- do LSD again. For me, in my life situation, the risks are too great.
