Patently untrue, untrue, untrue. This was debunked long ago, but still floats around, a goblin[*] in the services of the Nancy Reagan Brigade. It is true that "cellular structure" is altered, of course -- aspirin and Big Macs do that as well, everything does, really, even a daydream. "altering cellular structure" -- that phrase is scientifically ambiguous and applicable to just about anything! But: 1. A "teratogen" (Greek: "Creating Monsters") is *not* an agent that causes dain bramage, it is one that produces chromosome mutations that result in birth defects. There is no proof at all that LSD does this, that was a 60s myth. (Unless you steep your gonads in pure liquid LSD for a few days, probably while drinking a Tab.) 2. LSD *is* a fat-soluble acid, and does lodge in the brain, staying there for years -- flashbacks are possible. This is a danger, especially if you are driving, being interviewed for a job, or sitting next to Jamie Lee Curtis at an Elvis Costello show. 3. TOO MUCH acid has been tenuously linked to brain damage; not a single dose, not a series of doses. . . . And no one is really sure if it is real organic brain damage or psychological trauma. You can find "experts" in all camps. But too much of *all* drugs have been so linked, the most dangerous brain-damagers being cocaine and alchohol. 4. My experiences: I have personally known some 50-60 people who have used psychedelics on a more or less regular basis. Of all of them, only ONE ever "thought she could fly," and she was a disturbed person who should never ever have taken LSD to begin with. We had to babysit her the entire trip; this is called a "bummer." (Can you see the old black and white film? "These kids are TRIPPING, and they are LEAPING OUT OF WINDOWS and BOILING THEIR INFANTS. This is called a BAD TRIP, man." Of all these people, not a single one has ever reported negative mental capacities; although more than a few have acquired the Fear as they aged, and won't take it anymore -- but that is because they no longer feel comfortable tripping.

There is also the goblin about kids taking acid and staring at the sun and going blind. I saw that government "educational" movie in the sixties. There was another anti drug movie with Sonny Bono as the narrator. Haha! Somebody thought that he was someone thesekidsnowadays can relate to. I guess he should have done one about skiing. By the way. Many of my friends have had many experiences with hallucinagenic drugs, who are extremely well-rounded and able to deal well with the world. It sounds like many of them came from places of being significantly less so. One of my friends explained that acid was really a good thing for him. He grew up in the San Fernando Valley, and wasn't athletic. Had really damaged parents. Really had trouble finding reasonable stimulation of any sort. He called acid "Mary Tyler-Moore," because it could take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile. He doesn't use drugs at all now, mostly because he doesn't think he needs to escape, or have compulsions or anything like that. I also knew a couple of guys who played in a band. One night after playing cover tunes in a Nevada casino in the seventies, they all dropped acid. (I'm not saying that one was because of the other, but, hey, wouldn't you?) I guess it as pretty good stuff. They watched the sky and peaked about the time the sun came up. The bad news is that they have spent much of their lives trying to relive that experience. I can't really look down my nose at people who have tried things I haven't- y'know, unless they give me some other good reasons. Okay, well sometimes- hey, I'm not perfect.
