A couple weeks ago I saw a show (History or Discovery Channel) on LSD. They showed it to be a really powerful drug that can really mess with your mind. It's terrible to think that someone's drink or food would be spiked for a prank.

According to the show, the government recently allowed resumption of study of LSD in a limited way.

From what they would tell me when they did do these kinds of "Pranks" they would always be nearby just in case the person had a "Bad Trip" or for that matter they would just be nearby because they said you never know what would happen when someone tripped on LSD.

It is very powerful, they told me in so many words that often when they or one of thier friends would take it, it would only be a moment or two and it would just jump on them by surprise sometimes when they started tripping even if the ones who were used to taking it would be surprised by it sneaking up on them when it would take effect on thier bodies and minds.

What? You know people who pulled that kind of prank? And they were willing to talk to you about it? I'd love to know what they were thinking when they decided it would be an ok prank. Had the pranksters taken LSD themselves and were so familiar with it that they had no fear of it?

3nodding I know of 3 people thaat have taken it in the past, two of them where the ones telling me about the "Pranks" they pulled on people friends of thiers who also took LSD.

From what they would tell me they didnt seem to treat it as if it (LSD) was a very dangerious drug they seemed to treat it with about as much worry as taking a aspirin, now present day they think what they were doing "Pranking" people with it was really dangerious and wouldnt ever do it again.

They apparently as well had become fair frequent users to for a while a few months at what I can quess but they did finally stop a long time ago because of the fear of Federal Burea (FBI/ and such Orgs.) finding out they were using and putting them in prison for the rest of thier lives.

Those guys sound like regular people. They were so lucky to be able to use LSD multiple times and not have a bad trip. No wonder they thought it was ok to slip it to other people. Thanks for letting me in on that inside info.

Yeah, the terrible drug laws keep me away from illegal stuff too. It's too bad. I think pot has lots of good uses -- medicinal AND recreational. I wish they would legalize it totally.

Ever see the movie "Reefer Madness"? It's hilarious. I saw it at Duke University. The room was so full of pot fumes I'm sure we all got high. lol

From what they would tell me they didnt luckily have very many bad trips but when they did they had people or friends nearby for safety so nothing really bad would go down.

There are agreed a few different drugs that with watchful observation wouldnt prob. hurt anyone persay if everyone was careful.

I do admit I myself have only done one thing that could perhaps be considered illict but it really and truley isnt a drug persay.

(MELATONIN, a herbal subsatutite for over-the-counter sleep aids)

Most normal sleep aids have a harsh substance I believe is called Dipthrahydramine to cause drowseyness in them for a sleep aid.

Melatonin being a natural version of a sleep aid is supposedly better for you than most normal sleep aids because it has no dependancy like products with Dipthrahydramine in them.

I myself have slightly over taken Melatonin before and found it doesnt hurt me but it does have a warning on the bootle that I found out is completely true, I quote "Warning: Melatonin may cause unusually Vivid Dreams" and it does very much so at least for me when I do take them.

Thank goodness melatonin is legal. It sure helped me a time or two.

I never considered using it to get more vivid dreams. But it makes sense that the longer you sleep the more likely you are to get dreams. I used it to reset my biological clock when it got messed up by stuff like pulling an all nighter to finish a paper or study for an exam. I haven't used it since I got out of school.

The wikipedia article about melatonin has some very interesting information. Like how it interacts with light and how it's good for depression from seasonal affective disorder.

Its a lot more than I knew it did.

It does seem to make me feel at ease a bit more when I take it.

I'm not sure but I think Dr. Oz recommends melatonin too. I'm pretty sure he's mentioned it on his show. For sure he didn't say anything bad about it. I would have noticed and remembered that since I have more than half of the bottle left from the one I bought. I think Dr. Oz is a pretty good source of information.

Ah, Dr Roizen surprised me with this information Dr. Roizen is the dude who writes books with Dr. Oz and is on his show a lot.

Melatonin is good for blood pressure and reduces stress. Hmm.

I'll save you a click. Here's his whole answer to "what is melatonin"

The pineal gland produces a substance called melatonin, which conducts the symphony of your hormones.

Melatonin modulates menstruation, helps control desire for mating, helps lower heart rate and blood pressure, increases immune function, and helps decrease stress by blocking the body's stress response. Plus, it helps regulate sleep.

If you're a trivia expert, you may remember melatonin as the neurotransmitter that helps bears hibernate. Its levels peak at night and during winter months. (Serotonin, which converts to melatonin, helps regulate our daytime activity.)

When the lights go out, your pineal senses that and starts producing melatonin. When you lose melatonin (which is also found in the gut, by the way), you lose your normal sleep pattern, which then cascades into a whole host of health problems.

The photobucket tab didn't work for me. Maybe it isn't fully tweaked. Or maybe my firewall doesn't allow it. Have you actually used it or just admired it from afar? lol

Can you get into the Heaven forum? THere's all sorts of speculation about why some get in and some don't.

And are you psyched that a Cats vs Dogs is coming, supposedly in November.
