My friend took LSD and it made her anxiety worse. Another got an epileptic seizure while on LSD (never had one before or since the trip).

Not to say you shouldn't try it, I know several people who had positive experiences, but it's not 100% positive, as some people make it out to be.

(in before 'oh what they took wasn't actually LSD' from the 'LSD can do no harm' crowd)

just like heroin laced or replaced entirely by fentanyl, there are plenty of unsavory cats ordering NBoME or other compounds online and passing it off as LSD.

harm reduction circles always recommend testing the drugs yourself with a reagent kit, easily acquired online, because otherwise there is absolutely no way to know what was ingested.

not saying your friend didn't take LSD, nor am I naive enough to think LSD does no harm, just that if your friend didn't test the tab themselves, they have no idea what they took. unless they personally know the chemist, I suppose.
