huffingtonpost.com — Steve Jobs has never been shy about his psychedelic use, famously calling his LSD experience "one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." So, toward the end of his life, LSD inventor Albert Hofmann wrote to the iPhone creator to see if he'd be interested in putting some money where the tip of his tongue had been.

Love Bill Hicks. He and Terence McKenna have made a huge difference in my life.

Coming off of hallucinogens mushrooms and lsd has never been a problem for me. Definitely not nearly as bad as having a bad hang over from alcohol. But as you stated every drug affects every differently.

My problem has always been the comedowns; I don't come down easily at all and it became enough of a problem that I simply stopped using any such substances. Sucks, really, but that is simply how my body (and more, my mind) reacts.

Coming off of LSD is super easy if you smoke weed during the comedown. When the peak ended after about 4-6 hours, it was almost an instant shift from high as a kite to an uneasy feeling of (relative) sobriety. Smoking a pipe pushed us back to the peak, with even more intense visuals than before. This boost would last about an hour, so we would smoke again every hour and it had the same effect every time. We basically did that for 10 hours (until noon the next day), when we all suddenly fell asleep without remembering the exact moment it happened. When we woke up, we were down. Nice easy landing...

A 17 year old kid on acid stabbed some little girl and her mother in my neighborhood. He was an alcoholic and meth addict as well, but was only on LSD at the time. I believe LSD has the potential to change the world, and certainly your life, in a good way under safe and conditions, but please don't treat it like weed. You can't just give it to everyone. I'm not sure how I would feel about total legalization, but I would love to see the return of LSD psychotherapy and more studies on it's benefits in treating addiction and comforting the dying, among many other uses. EDIT: I should also mention that I have done it myself, and had a very pleasant time as do most people. It is unfortunately the 0.5% mentally unstable we need to worry about, but they are also the people who would benefit most from LSD psychotherapy. Again I would like to see the legal restrictions lifted for legitimate studies and the like.

Didn't some perfectly normal guy who was fed LSD without his knowledge jump out a window to his death?
