5 Common LSD Myths Debunked

Myth: Dropping Acid Will Make You a Better Person

在20世纪60年代的广泛宣传促进了酸的使用，以使人们更加精神上意识到，爱和更高的意识。许多作者仍然促进这个神话。

Truth: Many people report pleasant experiences on LSD, and even attribute great insights to the drug. Perhaps more importantly, there are many reports of the exact opposite happening. After taking LSD, people have been found to develop mental and emotional difficulties.

In fact, LSD is more likely to alienate you from other people and muddle your mental and emotional understanding than to lead you to a superior level of consciousness.

Myth: A Friend or Guide Can Prevent You From Having a Bad Trip

Well-meaning proponents of LSD have promoted the idea that having a friend or "guide" with you while you are on LSD will prevent you from experiencing a糟糕的旅行. The claim: a grounded, intuitive, andopen-mindedperson can say just the right thing or support you in just the way you need to ensure you have a marvelous time on LSD.

Truth: While having a supportive friend can oftenhelp, even people who have experience with LSD and training in psychotherapy are sometimes unable to prevent others from having a negative reaction to the drug.

Friends can easily be perceived as enemies by someone experiencing paranoia while they are tripping. And there are plenty of examples of people having bad trips while in the company of those who care about them.

Myth: Orange Juice or Vitamin C Will Stop a Trip

许多人认为，只需削减LSD的影响就是少量橙汁。

Truth：当LSD生效时，你的身体已经代谢了药物。这次旅行实际上是对你的大脑的后疗法, and any improvements felt from drinking orange juice are aplacebo effect, or simply the calming effect on the body from taking a drink.

Myth: Once You Take Acid, It Never Leaves Your Body

有时在药物现场循环的神话是LSD永久地存放在体内。这个神话的版本是LSD存储在脊髓液中，从未离开身体。人们曾经在生活中的任何时间释放的全部LSD，让他们回到无法控制的旅行。

Truth: Whileflashbackscan occur after taking LSD, this is not the result of the release of the drug. In fact, LSD is an unstable drug, which breaks down easily and passes through the body quickly.

神话：酸是解锁无意识的关键

Many people who take LSD believe that acid unlocks your awareness of your unconscious, giving you access to repressed material from your past and revealing hidden truths about yourself and about humanity.

Truth：拍摄LSD可能会让你以一种你以前没有想过的方式考虑事情，但它并没有给你一个关键的内心问题。酸是可能让你考虑没有现实基础的事情，因为揭示了隐藏的真理。

And just because you have taken LSD and thought about your past, it doesn't mean you know or understand everything that has happened to you.
