1. Ive had nightmares worse than the bad trips
2. I don't get it. Why does something harmless is illegal and something that could cause you harm is not.
3. I'd rather drink bleach.
4. They banned all of the drugs which expand your mind. Anything that makes you find peace with the world is anti-capitalist :)
5. She does not know what shes talking about. The use of LSD to treat depression or alcoholism would not cause a BAD trip, as the amounts used are small doses for these treatments.
6. LSD was the best decision in my life. it was the most amazing experience i had and i wanna do it again. its not a drug of choice. its a life style.
7. Damn her neck is long.
8. any tool fans here?
9. Everyone's talking about her neck but damn she is pretty
10. her food prolly takes an elevator down.
11. Sure it can be very dangerous. I know someone who took it in the 70's with his friends but he took a lot more than they did & he is really seriously messed up ever since then. We're talking over 40 years ago & he is still a basket case.
12. only if you do it with wrong people
13. Has she done lsd?
14. Daaaam that neck long asf
15. I came to this video after seeing an online friend of mine talk about doing LSD. I personally can't understand why people would want to do that but then again, when the school said one hit will kill you, I believed them and didn't bother doing drugs.
16. lsd is the salvation to this world, after my first experience with lsd I become one with nature micro and macro cosmos . and definitely is true no addiction at all
17. Acid is my favorite drug, Ive done it about 4 times now, and although ive had bad moments in my trips, the overal trip is pretty great. My friend looked kinda like a toucan, one friend looked black and white like from a movie, and my christmas lights were casting shadows that spun around my ceiling. good times.
18. People should stop wasting their time making anti-hallucinogens or pot adverts and focus on Meth, cocaine, heroin etc...
19. You really can't talk about LSD, or any psychedelic for that matter, if you haven't done it. You just cant possibly understand
20. Oh god, D News disguised as another channel!
