Concerning the drug LSD, commonly known as acid...
   
    One thing most acid-pushers fail to mention is that one tends to
GNASH TEETH during and/or after the Acid Trip. What is Gnashing of
Teeth, you ask? 

Ps. 112:10 ¦ The wicked will see it and be vexed; He will gnash
his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish.

   What does that mean? Gnashing Teeth is bad. Jesus spoke of
people being thrown out where there will be much weeping and gnashing
of teeth.

   I get the impression this is something like being a woman who has
a child, but the child is missing, and can't be found, and your stuck
in a single room, with no windows, so can't do anything to find the
child. So, it basically stinks, and its awful, BUT YOU CANT DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!

   Which, in my humble opinion, describes the acid trip completly:
it stinks and you can't do anything about it.

   and thats nots even a "bad trip!!!!"

   Those are absolutly the worst things. I dropped acid after I broke
up with my girlfriend, and went on this insecurity trip, in which
I gnashed my teeth and listened to REM sing, "Who are you gonna call for?"
"At the end of the day, when there are no friends...." etc. etc. etc.
You get the picture. 

   There is also the question of OVER DOSING. No, I don't mean using
MS DOS too much, I mean where not just your perceptions are messed up,
but everything is messed up. Like, smells are not going where they
ought to. I was tripping at a concert and everything smelled rancid
as all get out, and I could not get it out of my taste, and it was
the most foul smell ever, and I can't compare it to anything, except
it was awful, but it was a taste too. I mean, it was really, really, bad
like eating sand and toxic waste... really weird. It took me a week before
I stopped tripping, and even then, some time before things got back
into place.

   However, I do not think that the drug itself is the cause for the
'tripping,' but rather the LSD induces some kind of demonic possession
which cause the trip, and its bascially a grand illusion. In other words,
the LSD sort of opens a door to hell, and the demons have more of
an oppurtunity to deceive the tripper. So, most people who report
pleasant things about acid have been completly deceived. Basically, acid
is a path which leads to a giant sewer pit. When I first started tripping,
I fell for the deception (tripped and fell, get it?) and wandered further
and further towards the sewer pit. It took the will of the Almighty,
aka Jesus Christ, to turn me around and get me headed home.

   Its like being twisted inside out, thrown in a dung heap, and then
being stretched back to normal shape, but all that crap is still left
in you.

   If you want my opinion on whether or not to drop, I say no, fly high
with Jesus Christ. Besides, sometimes we do drop anyways, who wants to
induce it with a toxic chemical?

   Yes, I've dropped acid. And, I wish I hadn't. I am not slower than
usual, and I am not crazy. Its just it has left a impression on me,
one I wish I did not have. All I can say about drugs in general is that
they're all bad... some worse than others, and this includes Prozac.

   HOWEVER, the most dangeous drug on the market is television.
