I'm having a discussion with some friend, he is completely convinced acid stays in your body for years, in your spine. I do not believe this as it goes trhough your liver which breaks it off before effects are stopping, which is what I believe. To me it sounds about as unbelieveable as having your brain fried. Do you know who's right? I think I need a bit more proof to convince this person.
That's complete bullshit; a scare tactic for D.A.R.E officers and ignorant teachers to use on children to train them into being good little robots. Almost all of the LSD you take is metabolized like twenty minutes after ingestion or some small figure like that. Go look it up probably in the LSD FAQ somewhere, try erowid.org.
that is a common myth, check up erowid it is the best source of drug infomation on the net. In fact blood tests have shownt that the majority of LSD leaves your bloodstream after a few hours. Many say the rest of the tripping must be the result of some sort of chemical chain-reaction. My theory has no evidence/investigation but makes sense in my mind- When you first eat the acid the concentration gradient forces molecules of LSD into your brain through the blood brain barrier making you trip. Your liver then slowly metabolises the LSD in your blood reversing the concentration gradient and so LSD is slowly released out through the blood brain barrier to be metabolised during the comedown. What keeps you tripping mildly for a long period of time during the comedown is that the molecules must slowly osmose out of the blood brain barrier but because only a small fraction of the LSD actually diffused/osmosed there in the first place the concentration gradient is lower causing a slower rate of osmosis. This is why the comedown is much more drawn out than the come-up. Also the rate at which you sober up seems to slow down because as more molecules of LSD pass back into your body to be metabolised by the liver the concentration gradient continues to shrink slowing the rate of osmosis further. It is a logarithmic decay. Well thats just my 0.02C
Nice post! Yeah, I don't beleive that "LSD in Spine" shit. It's such a small amount I don't think it would even make it to your spine. Probably just goes up to your brain, rest is in your liver and out.
yea, that shit is false, like 2ce's said, i hate when people are talking about acid/ mushrooms and there like, man that shit stays in your spinal collum, and when u have flashbacks it hits you from the spine, i dunno people are so stupid and ignorant about this kind of stuff, don't believe it though, complete horse shit
I read somewhere on the internet that the exact mechanism is still unknown, but that acid may alter serotonin levels in the brain. There are billions of cells in the brain, but the cells which produce serotonin only number in the thousands, which is why only a very small amount of acid is needed to produce profound effects. Serotonin apparently is one of the chemicals that regulate what we perceive as "reality", whatever reality is.
i wish it were true so then i could trip again whenever i want simply by "cracking" my back. that would be awesome.
