Heh. While I'm usually pretty defensive about drugs(being an enthusiastic promoter of recreational use, and therapeutic use of MDA and variants(which is illegal in the US, but has been used to great effect by psychiatrists in Switzerland and Amsterdam. I was just going to let this particular 'bastard hippies hoppped up on acid, and doing dope' instance slide, since it is a self defense thread. And when someone delusional attacks you, generally there is very little sympathy as to what brand of hallucinegen or etc. they happen to be imbibing.
However, for the record, all my experience with LSD is that if any injury is incurred, it's usually self inflicted on the user's part. Although I have had one friend freak out and try and kill me(he thought I was a giant suck-locust or something similar.) he was spectacularly ineffective.
Amphetimenes, PCP, Crack Cocaine, and Angel Dust are very different stories.
