I used to hear this one about acid when I was a kid. Total bullshit too. THC, like LSD, is metabolized and doesn’t accumulate in the spine. Funny how so much bullshit’s getting recycled these days.


Material-Box-961

LMFAO we used to say if my back breaks I'm gonna trip for weeks 😭


TheElderBong

I did a lot of acid in my mid 20s. Was so disappointed when I never got a flashback 🤣


theknyte

I had one experience, that I always wondered if it was a Acid Flashback, or something else? Did a lot of LSD in my teens, but by my 20s, I had moved on with life. (And, I didn't know where to get it anymore, as I always got hooked by friends at high school.) Went to see Fight Club in the theater (All of all movies!) and by the time it was over, I felt like I was having a full blown trip. Like, the parking lot's lights were leaving crazy tracers, and I wasn't in my right head space. (I almost felt like I was still in the movie. Since the movie ends with a cityscape at night, and that's what I walked out to, when we left the cinema.) I ended up immediately re-parking. Swapped places with my girlfriend at the time, to drive us home, as I wasn't sure I was safe to. So, unless someone dosed my popcorn when I wasn't looking, I cannot explain what happened that night.


D3V14

Acid flashbacks are well documented and very real, despite what you hear nowadays. They’re also fairly common, especially if you take very large doses, but very rarely harmful in any meaningful way. If you talk to someone who was really heavily involved in the 60s counterculture, it is very easy to see that there are real long-term effects to heavy psychedelic use (especially when your dropping 200mcg two or three times a week, which was standard for hippies), both positive and negative. Of course, it won’t change your intelligence level or anything like that, but you can definitely become more eccentric.


ThirdEyeExplorer11

This is true! I used to take pretty heavy doses regularly, like 600-1200ug’s and I’ve definitely had what people call flash backs. Although I really think all it’s more like a form of PTSD than it is you’re actually tripping. Those heavy acid trips can be so intense that I think it can mark the brain in a similar way that traumatic experiences mark the brain, if that makes sense. Also I will add, that none of my “flashback” experiences ever lasted more than a few minutes, and they were all within a 6 month period of the last time I dosed. I haven’t done a heavy dose in almost 15 years and haven’t had one of those experiences since I got time away from that last heavy dose.


Back_2_monke

People used to crack their back and be like “oh man, I’m getting a flashback!!” lol


Material-Box-961

LMAO on God 🤣


fibonacciluv

I also used to hear that if you’ve taken LSD and wanted to become an astronaut you couldn’t bc they would give you a spinal tap and find the LSD 😭🤣


Geedunk

Holy shit I’d completely forgotten about this one!


Tastyck

That’s okay though because I you want to fly to the stars and they won’t let you be an astronaut, you can just eat some LSD


LadySwearWolf

I had an aquaintence who insisted they had "bad acid" in their spine. They had a bad trip the one time they tried it years before. They also blamed all their bad behavior and relationship/frienship and any health issues on it. This person also refused to go to a doctor when they clearly had a bad life threatening infection that everyone including themselves could see and smell. They said if we loved them we would accept they just smell now. Refused to go to doctors because they always questioned and disapproved the acid in the spine.


MaleficentPositive44

a_stone_throne

God I miss norm


mechwarrior719

I always heard it about shrooms. Supposedly the spores never leave your system and you could have a flashback trip any moment


Dgstowe

That could be swung positively tbh


ZestyMelonz

Exactly. Just a quick hit here and there randomly.


The_Bingler

Any basic biological understanding and this is ludicrous


IWILLBePositive

Sure but for me at least, I was a kid in the 90’s and things weren’t easily verifiable at all. Lol rumors and hearsay were *a lot* more common. I heard this about acid and thought they must have to be *very* careful when and where they crack their backs!


iMDirtNapz

When I was younger I was told shrooms make your brain stem bleed, and the damage caused the trip. What a load of ant-drug propaganda.


fettsvette420

funny thing is research now says it's great for brain growth and repairs. most promising drug for dementia and alzheimers(sp?)


Cannacrohn

Shrooms are as non-toxic as cannabis at active doses.

Jesufication

Spores have 0 psychoactive substances, which is partly why they’re legal to buy.


fettsvette420

doesn't logic, spores are seeds. if they were gonna stay, they'd grow and colonize your body. I think we'd know about it


pmyourthongpanties

I seen a documentary on HBO with 2 gay dudes that were hiding out from fungus that had colonized in peoples bodies.


420_Towelie

Brokeback Mushroom, great movie!


Admirable-Salary-803

Lmao too funny.


fettsvette420

colonize that ass


beomint

you'd just become a fun guy is all


Tastyck

Spore are very different from seeds, spores can remain inert for years and in very rough conditions and then become active when the scenario is right


fettsvette420

like a warm moist environment full of nutrients? I understand what you're doing, but it is unnecessary in this circumstance


chaos_aintme

Lol an old coworker of mine was a guy in his 30s who tried telling me his dad, who was in prison while this guy was a kid, would get bored in his cell and crack his back so he could trip when there was nothing else to do. He became furious with me when I told him that was impossible. I heard him tell like 5 other people that same story over a couple years


Suspicious-Monk-6650

I mean to be fair the acid flashback thing is true. But to me that's just a free random mini trip. Lol I'm down.


TheElderBong

That's completely false


Kryptosis

Is this not an acid flashback joke?


Unfortunate-Incident

I heard that about lsd too


Madaoizm

yup, i remember this myth, some people my age still walkin around talkin this shit xD


thetimeishigh

My brother was talking about this yesterday 😂 But do acid or shrooms stay in you body ? Like I do say patterns once I was really high on weed months after taking lsd.


sanitarySteve

I always heard mushrooms. I had a buddy who swore he could crack his back and go on a trip. This was 10th grade and he had maybe done mushrooms once, lol


Glad-Rock4334

I heard that in an Eminem song lol Not about weed but about acid


[deleted]

[удалено]


Suspicious-Monk-6650

That's a real thing. I had to do it like 3 times (a long with weekly piss tests for 6 months) when I got busted for pot back when I was in highschool


officialsma92176us

Just for pot? Back in the day they swore that the hair follicle test was for testing if you ever did LSD in your life. Fuck. That’s wild.


Suspicious-Monk-6650

Lol no hair follicle test for LSD is only within like a month or something like that. Pot stays for like a year-ish. LSD is one of the fasted metabolized drugs you can take. It literally is fully metabolized by your liver as it passed through. The half like is like 12 hours or something which is about how long a trip lasts (however each subsequent day you take it your tolerance doubles and you have to double your dose each day. But the tolerance also leaves pretty fast. 3 days in between tripscan keep you on one tab doses forever essentially.)


TheElderBong

Hair follicles test for all drugs...


knyfe69

Lol yep, and they don't test for a year either....90 days for the several hundred I've taken over the years.


officialsma92176us

What?! Holy shit


Suspicious-Monk-6650

You really thought that was fake?? 🤣 They do regular follicle tests in certain prisons too


officialsma92176us

I literally have never known of or actually seen this ordered in the labs I’ve worked in


Suspicious-Monk-6650

Yep it's real. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325013#:~:text=A%20hair%20follicle%20drug%20test%20can%20determine%20patterns%20of%20illicit,come%20from%20a%20person's%20head.

Woah


officialsma92176us

I worked in a medical lab and never saw this ever. That’s friggin wild. Sorry dawg


Suspicious-Monk-6650

Link above ☝️☝️


officialsma92176us

I already saw and read this. Thanks for correcting my mistake. I guess I’ve just been lucky enough to never have to run that test ever.


Suspicious-Monk-6650

Lol my bad I thought you were somebody else questioning it lol


officialsma92176us

It’s all good. Why’d they go so hard on you man?


Suspicious-Monk-6650

No idea. Probably just wanted to make sure I wasn't faking the piss tests. Just lucky I wasn't tried as an adult lol. Would have seen 6 months to a year of jail time back then (like 13 years ago)


SpeermintO

And this is why you have flashbacks! Damn I was stupid.


L0rddaniel

I remember hearing this exact thing about lsd in the 90s.


H377Spawn

I heard it about heroin.


TATER_SALAD_HOOVER

Even then it still wouldn’t be the worst thing about heroin.


Anarchic_Country

Yeah I read in a book that if you snap a certain spinal joint, you'll never walk again but never need heroin again I actually thought about attempting it several times while I was in active addiction. Don't know if it's true, but you get strung out hard enough and long enough you'll start to wonder


TATER_SALAD_HOOVER

Never walking again but not needing heroin, is still better than being a heroin addict.


Cool__Face

I heard it about jenkem and it's true


severedsoulzz

i heard lsd is not stored in your spine, but in the fat in your body. causes a reappearing trip whenever, so its still going around these days too😂😭


Suspicious-Monk-6650

Ummm acid flashbacks are 100% real. Weed flashbacks are not. But the acid flashbacks aren't because of stored acid in your body. It's unclear why they happen but it's pure brain activity when it does. No extra chemicals causing it. Another interesting LSD fact, your central nervous system and your peripheral nervous system (brain and gut) trip completely separately (yes your guy has its own separate nervous system) LSD causes your body to release just amounts of serotonin most of which comes from your digestive tract. this is why eating certain healthy foods (like turkey for example) raises your serotonin levels and makes you happy.

WizardLizard1885

ohya theyre absolutely still cycling around and its hilarious. when i worked at a sheriffs office in the midwest as a 911 dispatcher they had pamphlets in the lobby for each drug. i grabbed the marijuanna one and it said that its a physcoactive drug (true) that causes hallucinations(what?) makes you crave blood (WHAT) makes you sleep for 16 hours, makes you lazy and unable to work anymore, gateway drug to other physcoactive drugs like meth, causes lung cancer faster than ciggerates.. there were other shit but those were the ones i remember. i asked a co worker if this was a joke and she said no, and she has a friend who is addicted to weed and is homeless now from his addiction. apparently he use to smoke joints using newspaper now he rolls them with woodglue? before the 911 dispatch job i was selling cars and my manager overheard me talking about smoking weed when i lived in legal state.. apparently its the reason why liberals are so crazy because theyre so high all the time they dont know whats real and whats not... everyone but like 2 people i met had these batshit crazy ideas about weed. i smoked with 1 person down there who "had the hookup".. yeah that weed felt like i took too much tyenol and maybe a melatonin 😭


Bruh-sfx2

I actually have an explanation about the bloodthirsty part! There was a guy named Harry Anslinger in the 1930s. He was the first commissioner of Federal Bureau of Narcotics (basically our current War on Drugs stuff). His campaign against weed was mostly based in racism, specifically against Mexican people. He made a LOT of silent generation-ers associate weed with murder, laziness, and general crime; also associating the Mexican people with the same things.


WizardLizard1885

yeah i remember a co worker jokingly saying "weed makes you crave white womans blood" then he kinda nerded out a bit about mr. anslinger edit: the exact quote was "it makes mexicans crave white womans blood" from the co worker


grunkage

Yeah that shitty weed from the hookup is why that other dude had to turn to wood glue. Once you get hooked on weed cut with TiteBond, it's hard to stop. Original formula, then you start looking for TB II, III, the goddamn hide glue formula... next thing you know, you're peddling your own ass for just a dab of Quick & Thick.

ikr, due to the military i have to smoke so i dont have dreams.. and if i do dream its really foggy and i cant actually understand anything. otherwise i wake up everytime i slip into deep sleep, i didnt realize it but for years i was going insane due to not getting proper sleep

WizardLizard1885

if you are in the midwest just go to any bumfuck nowhere county and check out the sheriffs office lobby. i saw this in 2 dif agencys in 2018


Baby_Blue_Eyes_13

Watch the movie Reefer Madness. Made to demonize weed. And yes people did (and some still do) believe it.


unfortunateclown

weed can actually make a small minority of people hallucinate! i often get auditory hallucinations, and occasionally some mild visual ones.


Suspicious-Monk-6650

Yeah this is true but it's rare after you build a tolerance. I think now a days, because the weed is so strong, it's more common in newer smokers.


JAK3CAL

Speak for yourself 🧛‍♂️ I will say the wood glue thing almost makes me think they’re referring to sherm sticks or whatever the hood calls them now lol

The lie is from like the 1920s...

bleepste

Like most things, the myth started out with a nugget of truth, at least to my understanding, the idea that drugs of any kind cause "holes in the brain" comes from the idea that consuming an excess amount of drugs or consuming drugs during important developmental stages in life can cause gaps in activity in the brain, and to my knowledge that's true, they go to schools, explain this poorly, show some brain imaging, don't mention that those gaps can come from many things such as overuse of OTC drugs, injury, disease, age, and I'm sure more, and now the elementary kids think if you smoke weed you'll have a literal hole in your brain.


Suspicious-Monk-6650

I've hear this with LSD too (actually it was "LSD will turn your brain into swiss cheese") 🙄 never once believed that stupid crap.


ihearthogsbreath

If this was true rich guys would be dabbing curated spine resin extracts! You know, like that special coffee that a monkey shits out before brewing. There was a funny one back in high school. If you smoke too many weed seeds you get ball cancer! It's true my brother told me!

Lmao used to hear this about lsd also and that if you cracked your back you could start tripping again 😂


Toke_cough_repeat

The fact is cannabis, LSD, Mushrooms, and many such mind altering substances are relatively safe when used appropriately, it's frankly safer than driving a car sober. All of the fear around it originates in political propaganda and oppression of minorities, as well as fear of the unknown.

SecretOfficerNeko

For anyone wanting to know if this is real, the short answer is no. THC can remain in the body after the high is over but it doesn't accumulate in the spine or stick with you until you die. Here's the actual medical info. "THC is a lipid-soluble chemical. This means that it binds to fat in the body... For almost all people, cannabis should disappear or be very low in concentration within 30 days. For infrequent users, it may take 10 days or fewer for cannabis to leave the body." (Source: [Medical News Today](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324315#detection-windows))

I figure I may be an anomaly, but I had to stop for awhile because of doctor change and I tested positive for 7 weeks even though I'm scrawny. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This other dude rattled off all the century-old 'dangers' of weed. "we don't want drugs in our country" Yeah good luck. Our population drinks themselves half to death every weekend and use coffee as a crutch, but god forbid someone smokes a joint. I don't understand why it is so hard to teach these people in power what the actual facts are. Aren't they supposed to take in information and change their minds based on that?


ultimateaquatics

They know the actual facts, maybe even better than most folks. The issue is they don't care about facts. They care about control. And that is something they are very good at.

STL_TRPN

A friend once told me that LSD works like this. But in his defense, a mutual friend told him. You trip because the left side and the right side of your brain separate. Then when you're coming down, if your brain doesn't line up normally, you end up in a perma-trip. We both laughed. I then pleaded with him to never say that out loud or in public again.


Suspicious-Monk-6650

Lol it's clear most of y'all have only done shrooms or smoke pot 🤣 I've done every 'natural' or 'naturally derived' drug you can think of. Shrooms, DMT, LSD, pot, opioids (not a fan), and lsa (also no a fan. Acid trip with a bad hangover basically)
