Would LSD mess my life up from one use?
Unknown. But it's a little like playing Russian Roulette. In fact, LSD is very different than other drugs. Really, it's hard to call it a drug in the conventional sense, because dosages are measured in micrograms rather than milligrams. That means the dosage is 1000 times less than other drugs in terms of quantity you take. So, it's more like a key that opens the door to -- the subconscious, the common consciousness -- no one knows really. Nor can anyone say with certainty who will have a good trip or a bad one. I have heard the tales of people "not coming back", but have never personally met someone this happened to -- so maybe the stories are just that: tales. Still, the risks are there. Basic rules back in the day were: A. Get your LSD from a batch that someone with experience has already used and OK'd. So many street drugs are mixed with other stuff -- bad stuff like strychnine, PCP, etc. B. Do your first trip in the company of someone you absolutely trust, and who has experience with LSD. Someone who is willing, for instance, to take you to the hospital if need be. I admit I am no authority as I have never taken it myself. But I did get slipped PCP in a joint once, and that was the LAST time I ever smoked dope. An experience that I can still feel twenty years later, like there's something broken somewhere. When I was in the midst of the experience, I begged the pals who had given me just the few hits that did it to take me to the emergency room, but they would not -- afraid of getting in trouble. They smoked the same stuff, and liked the experience they had. For me it was something I can only describe as being dead and alive at the same time. I'm not preaching. Many people swear by the LSD experience, and like I said I'm no authority. Indeed, I have one artist friend who does heroin a couple of times a year just to shake things up and I think it really contributes to her success. But that's her, and with my own addictive personality I won't take the risk. Drugs do different things to different people, that's all.
My son's life is a mess?
I would sent him. I had some trouble with my 15yr son as well, nothing anywhere close to this, but some local issues. He too is very smart and the head honcho in school, but sometimes he makes stupid decisions. In October he got himself into big trouble and I put him on "house arrest" for 6ms. He had to stay in his room except to go to school and lost all privileges. He slowly had to earn them back and is doing wonderfully now. My husband went through one of these camps as a kid and told my son if he ever screwed up again, he was going too. My husband went when he was 16 for getting caught 3 times spray painting on his high school gym wall and breaking into a car (on a dare he claims =]). He went and still to this day RAVES about how much he LOVED IT in the end and how much it taught him. As strong-willed as your son may be, so are 95% of all those kids there and many of those have the goal or trying to get themselves kicked out. The kid down the street who is a year older than my oldest daughter, so I guess around, 18-19yrs went to one of these wilderness/school things for an entire year when he was 15yrs old. He was a MONSTER, constantly getting into trouble and hurting others. He didn't listen to anyone, was constantly back talking. His final move was when he stole the family car, ran through a stop sign and was pulled over by a cop for doing so. They found drugs in the back of the car. His parents are the sweetest people I know and have another son my son's age. He went away for a year and came back completely changed. He had manners, called everyone sir and ma'am, started doing extremely well in school and was someone you could be proud of. I remember the first time he spoke to me when he came back. I went to get the mail and he was sitting on his front lawn across the street and said "Hi Mrs. Rizzionni. How are you?" I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know he knew my name! He finished high school top 30% of his class and went on to college. His parents are happy and so is he. I'm sure you're son will come back a changed person. He's young and they have A LOT of guidance up there, people who don't put up with any crap and know how to break these kids down. I wish you the best of luck with your son.

My boyfriend life is a mess?
He has so many problems in his life right now. First of all his family, they treat him like crap. His mother not wanting him always kicking out the house. There's always a hate tension between his mom and the way she treats him. He is failing college. Because he has so much things going on in his household. His good friends keep dying on him. Apart from that my relationship with him is pretty bad . We keep fighting, breaking up and getting back together, etc. Since we got together three years ago he has becoming, depressed, bittter, angry. He is also letting himself go. He used to take care of his body and groomed himself, but now he looks like a sad mess. I know I haven't done anything to make it right for him, but what can I do for him? He is really miserable.
Can someone take Adderall for their whole life?
I suppose someone could take Adderall for decades at least... I'm 37 (38 next month), have adult ADD, but was always inattentive ADD since early childhood (but was never diagnosed as such, everybody just thought I was being lazy) and took my first Ritalin at age 22, when it finally hit home that I had this condition. It did nothing for me, so I was moved to Dexedrine and that helped a lot. Around 27, I switched to Adderall 10mg twice a day (the blue ones). They seemed to work just as well, but with a slightly smoother onset/offset. Currently I take 30mg twice a day (the orange ones), and they have helped tremendously. I had gone up in dose slowly over the years, but every few months, I take a "vacation" from them (break the 30s into 4 pieces and took 7.5mg twice a day or less, just to keep my tolerance in check). I'd usually devote 2-3 weeks to this, so when I got back on the full dose, my tolerance had receded enough to not need an increase. I have had times where I ran out completely, and getting out of bed was a chore since I was so tired. Who knows, you may very well be on it permanently, but as long as you keep the maximum daily dosage in check (60mg/day for me- I don't want to go any higher), and take a "vacation" from time to time, you will likely reap the benefits for the long term without needing extreme doses down the road. Anyway, I'm not a doctor, just a 37 year old guy who can share his experiences of being on Adderall for over a decade, without any major problems. Unless I take my afternoon dose after 4pm of course! OH.... And keep an eye on your teeth. I need extensive dental work because amphetamines tend to dry out your mouth, and decay thrives in that environment (not to mention I neglected to see the dentist on a regular basis). Keep plenty of chewing gum, water, etc with you, and take those "vacations" when it starts to feel like you need a dosage increase. Good luck and hope I could help a bit! PS, I always took the IR tabs, not the XR extended release, so I can't give any experiences on that...
My Social Life Is a Mess, Help Please!?
Don't feel bad. I doing the same thing tonight, all of my friends have other people they'd rather be with.
My life is a mess and I can't handle it anymore. What can I do?
I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I agree with others that you should definitely get medical help. I have bipolar, depression, severe anxiety, and ptsd. 4 yrs ago I was not medicated and was going out of my mind. I attempted suicide by shooting myself in the chest. The moment the gun clicked I snapped out of my comatose state and thought oh shit what in the hell did I just do. I spent two weeks in the hospital. The first week I was restrained and had constant supervision. Not only was I in serious pain but I was horrified that I was capable to do it. I hurt so many people. It was heart breaking. I also suffered from survivors remorse. I had a choice at life and chose to take it away. People around me had cancer or other diseases that were going to be fatal and they didn't have that choice. I felt guilty for being so selfish. I did however feel grateful that I got a second chance. Most people that get shot in the chest with a .45 don't survive. I feel with my second chance that I had a purpose in life, before my attempt I didn't feel worthy at all.What I'm trying to say is please don't even think about suicide. You are precious and you are important and you do have a purpose. Get psychiatric help. Make YOU the #1 priority. Don't let the devil in your head and fight to take control. Don't allow this disease to win.I'm fighting right along with you. It's hard but WE can do it.
