It takes years and years to clear your system of traces of LSD. Read up on it, it's true.

While reading the early part of this story I wondered if this nasty piece of filth had anything to do with SerenityTranquilityPeace. And sure enough...

Yes, he died almost 10 years ago.

"After his death, seven grams of Leary's ashes were arranged by his friend at Celestis to be buried in space aboard a rocket carrying the remains of 24 other people including Gene Roddenberry (creator of Star Trek), Gerard O'Neill (space physicist), Krafft Ehricke (rocket scientist), and others."

This page just turned into a giant technicolour butterfly. Have I been on Free Republic for too long or is it an acid flashback brought on by talk of hallucinogens ?

He's not dead. He just dropped out.

Please, point me to the research.

It's especially silly because LSD dosage is measured in MICROGRAMS. That's MILLIONTHS of a gram.

LSD is *WATER SOLUBLE* and is completely metabolized in the liver and passed by urine.

It is not stored in the body. At all. In any amount.

Have you done any 3-way orange sunshine lately ? How about some clear windowpane LSD 25 ?

I have. You're wrong. LSD is an extremely fragile chemical. Radioisotope studies show that LSD is broken down and excreted from the body in a matter of hours.

If you told me my name was Adam, I'd check my drivers license to be sure.

Believe any other urban myths?

Careful when you sit on the potty btw, so the gators in the sewer don't bite you in the arse!

It's not an urban myth, I read about it in medical magazine. Don't quote me but I think I read the effects can last up to 10 years or longer. The same article said that high doses of niacin helped break it down faster.

I have read up on it and have found nothing that validates your statement. How about you get a little more specific and tell us exactly what you're talking about?

It may break down in water but the LSD in the 70's would keep you high for almost 3 days. You can't just pee it out of your ststem. LOL

Dude . . . you're absolutely wrong. LSD is completely metabolized within 2 days. Point blank . . . end of story. Anything you read to the contrary is flat wrong.

As a matter of fact, you can . . . and you do. The liver and brain metabolize every bit of LSD within 2 days. Science, my friend!
