you dumbass haahahaha albert hoffman discovered the drug u fool go back to skool and learn some history

5-HT is the receptor that serotonin binds to, the chemical name for serotonin is 5-hydroxytryptamine. LSD also binds to 5-HT receptors, and has a higher binding affinity to 5HT receptors than serotonin does. To help you understand, this means the 5HT receptors actually 'like' LSD more than serotonin.

Still Alive:
Albert Hofmann

Info: Swiss chemist who was the first to synthesize the drug LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), he discovered its effect when he accidently ingested some
Date of Birth: 01/11/1906
Current age: 99
---------------------------------------------------------
Up until very recently, he still tripped on LSD 2X a month. Maybe he's cut it down a bit to 1X a month now lol!

i knew both binded to 5ht receptors, but i was unaware that LSD does so more effectively. that's interesting that a foreign chemical to the body works better than the chemical occuring naturally.

That is total bullshit. The only way your going to cause nervous system damage with acid is if you take it and then jump off a building and break your neck. (Dont know why ne1 would do that, but...)

I think "bad" is a pretty simple term anyways. Anything can be "bad" under the right circumstances.

If you're sitting at home with some friends and nothing to do for a while, LSD is not bad.

At a family reunion, probably not the best idea. Then again, it would be funny seeing smurfs come out of Grandpa's nose.
