LSD shilling

I just don't get it. I dipped into the recent EC testing thread and there is some bravado and shilling in there albeit mild compared to lots of threads. But fuck man, Owsley, leary, the dead, all of Haight, and the 60s, would turn in their grave if they knew lsd had become about numbers and dolla dolla bills.

Yeah, I get its the business, but does the shilling and hubris affect sales that much.

All this BS goes against the ideals of lsd and what it can represent.

My third feels like a hot poker is getting jabbed in it.

Am I the only one who's never achieved some higher understanding of the universe on acid? Honestly it just feels like a really fun drug for me. Mushrooms are very therapeutic for me and have definitely changed my outlook on life, but all acid does is fuck me up.

Owsley cut corners and was known to distribute an impure product. Leary was too strung out to form coherent thoughts most of the time. Don't romanticise the counter-culture era, it was mostly pretty shitty.

Acid doesn't have ideals. LSD is a product to be sold and it's never been anything more. It was just a product to distribute for a time, but that isn't here nor there. If you want to stand for what you believe are the principles of LSD, buy sheets and distribute them for free. Somebody has to foot the bill and it probably isn't going to be the manufacturers.

The literal OG's of LSD trafficking for profit would turn in their graves? I think not.

And it's not all about the dolla dolla bills. These vendors could sell cocaine or weed or molly if they just wanted more money.

All this BS goes against the ideals of lsd and what it can represent.

LSD has no ideals except in terms of electromagentism, stabilizing counter-ions, bond angles, activation states, and geometric pattern & size of the crystals.

The fact you think you have to act a certain way on drugs says a lot. More specifically, you have no idea what you're talking about. Acids a drug like any other, only difference is it enables people to think they're Jesus
