World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It depends on the batch, and you'd want to try it first to see how strong it is. Some batches are definitely overwhelming, but others are just a very clear, euphoric high and perfect for parties.
I've a relative who began an unplanned LSD-trip while driving..
I've been informed by a psychiatrist & medical-researcher ( my dad, but we .. lived very separate lives, & didn't get along ) that LSD's stored in body-fat, so it can produce a flashback ANY time that THAT globule of fat gets metabolized..
I'd prohibit people who've done LSD from EVER having a pilot's license, & driver's license .. would have to be massively-justified.
The others-on-the-road never consented to having LSD-users tripping-out in motor-vehicles, on the same road..
We prohibit drunk-driving, shouldn't we prohibit LSD-driving, too?
& if LSD's got inherent flashback capability, due to the way our biology can store it for later..
shouldn't that be considered in the public-safety law?
Responsibility-archy isn't identical with no-accountability/no-responsibility/narcissism's-got-rights! paradigm, it's true,
but I'd rather that people either force-metabolize all their bodyfat, to remove LSD-flashback possibility, before getting their license, then just randomly lose-their-minds-chemically while piloting/driving..
XOR, if they won't eradicate the flashback-capability, then they don't need to be piloting/driving, do they?

I'm not a medical researcher, but I can tell you that the random LSD flashback, as you're describing, is not evidence-based. As with many drugs, LSD releases glutamate and can trigger psychosis in people predisposed to psychosis. This can lead people to believe that LSD is somehow being stored in their body and activated later on. Something similar may be happening when people have a bad experience smoking weed and insist it was "laced" with another drug. LSD is processed by the liver and isn't "stored" anywhere, unless you count blood during the several hours before it's fully metabolized. Also, we already prohibit LSD-driving. Driving recklessly while under the influence of a substance can get you arrested and get your license revoked.
Please be careful about spreading misinformation.
I'm sticking to the facts I was given: that LSD can be stored in the body, in body-fat, & can be released later.
IF I find ( and I will dig, later ) actual-research on the topic, then I'll have better, more-trustworthy knowing.
But until then, the doctor-&-researcher who told me that, & the other-person whose experience matches what that doctor-&-researcher told me, is what I'm sticking-to.
I don't willingly spread disinformation or misinformation, & am one hell of alot more rigorous than normal-people about that.
Nearly 600 pages of results, unfortunately, with ZERO guarantee any 1 of those papers deals-with the question..

I'm afraid that "repeating word-of-mouth information until it's disproven" isn't how the scientific method works, and wouldn't be considered rigorous in the research community. I look forward to your findings.
WHEN a working-psychiatrist, who did research in psychiatry, tells me that LSD can be stored in bodyfat & released later,
I believe them before I believe you.
There's a category difference between "I heard it from someone" & being told by a specialist who works in that field, but obviously you contempt that..
Good for you.
