I don't understand how anyone who has ever taken LSD can say that it's safe. Maybe at low doses.

Once you can't seperate fantasy from reality you're just one bad trip from falling out of a window you thought was a door.

edit: The responses here just seem like denialism from people who got lucky to be honest.

You can be aware that you are tripping and still imagine that something is something else.

Roads looked like footpaths to me, windows looked like doors, knives looked like forks, and so on and so forth. I was aware that it wasn't real but couldn't be sure of the safety of existing in the world.

I basically had to sit in a corner for 10 hours, hope that the corner was actually the one I thought it was and that I wasn't going to fall down a staircase instead.

It was great fun but felt like russian roulette.

Have you ever done it?

Because what you’re describing doesn’t resemble LSD at all. You’re describing deleriants like datura if anything.

One rumor I've seen is that dealers have been replacing LSD with NBOM which has a significantly higher chance of causing a psychotic break and is harder to safely dose. This gets back to the big problem with illegal drugs isn't the drugs, it the illegal.
Ehrlich’s reagent can be used to test for the presence of an income, NBOMe, 25I, and related compounds will not show up as an indole.
