[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 610513, member: 1550"] LSD is VERY serious. Not to throw a rain on the parade, but I know a few kids who became psychotic due to bad trips and a few who had terrible flashbacks. I'd be petrified if my daughter was doing LSD. Just wanted to clear that up. It may not be addictive, but just one bad trip can land you in a mental hospital and screw you up for life. Our neighbor's girl across the street thought she was a witch after taking LSD and was unable to snap out of it before spending a year in a mental hospital and finally being put on antipsychotics. Another girl...a friend's daughter...felt very unreal after LSD and thought she was a ghost. In the hospital, some housekeeper forgot to put the cleaner away and this girl drank it up to try to kill herself and was fortunately found and saved. The hospital was in deep chit. Her father is a lawyer. Now she is much older and off all drugs, but sometimes she has flashbacks which terrify her so she is also on medication. Psychedelics mess with your brain and stability and while some can luck out, others can ruin their lives. And lastly a boyfriend of mine took psychdelics just as he was driving on an expressway (he had not told me). When I found out, I begged him to let me out, but he wouldn't. There were two back seat passengers who pleaded with him to let him drive, but he said, "Not my fault, YOU can't handle it. I can!" Well, he didn't and we almost crashed. I had to grab the wheel and swerve the car from hitting one in the next lane. After that, he seemed to realize...and pulled over so his friend could drive. I could go on and on as most of my friends took psychdelic, mind-expanding drugs. I lived in a rich neighborhood and LSD was extremely popular there...and dangerous. Pot, which I also don't like, is nothing compared to LSD. This was the drug of choice in Upper Class, IL. Can you get her to agree to go to a drug rehab? If not, there is very little you can do other than make sure you stop the money flow so that she can't afford to buy any drugs and to maybe take away the cell phone and internet so that it is harder for her to connect with her friends. At 18, you have other options. Sending prayers in your direction. [/QUOTE]
