gforceclimber Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Couple-Skates? That was when Journey ruled the rink, and the Steve Miller Band was played every five minutes. Pacman was rocking, and Galaga was King. That was my era. DOB August 1973 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Aug. '73 - I was 21 and on my second tour to Vietnam then... Â I've heard that all the baby killer comments aimed at soldiers returning from Vietnam were the result of rumor mongering on the part of some supporters of the war. It never really happened in earnest. Discuss. Â My dad did two tours as well, 68 and 70. Mom still has the Sat Cong plaque on display, just above the big green porcelain elephants.

JosephH Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It takes less acid to fuck you up over a shorter period of time - and cause permanent damage. Â Let's attempt to agree that a clear understanding of the short and long term clinical manifestations and moderate intake are the hallmarks of informed use of any substance. As far as 'permanent damage' from LSD use goes, it is considered a non-toxic substance with temporary psychological effects and a remote possibility for chronic psychosis and a medically recognized, though somewhat controversial, condition known as 'Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD)'. By and large it isn't going to affect the average healthy individual in any significant [negative] or lasting way. So in general, evidence for 'permanent damage' is quite limited, though it does indeed happen to a few folks and there is no clear indication why. Â All that said, it has more potential for good than most substances drifting about out there for human consumption. The principal problem with it is it's most often used in chaotic party settings with no attempt to actively utilize much of what it offers in a more structured and directed way. Plain and simple, you're just not likely to get the most out of the experience dropping after four beers on the way to a party where toking up, drinking more, and getting laid are the main objectives. Not that that is necessarily bad, but you're just kind of selling the stuff way short on what it's capable of delivering. Â The principal lesson I learned from using it to climb was that 99.9% of the time we don't fall off climbs at our physical limit - we jump off them at our emotional limit and kid ourselves that we fell. Once I realized I was doing this I worked to be more aware of it, not beat myself, and simply do it less. My climbing really took off as a result of that. But even after becoming aware of that little gem, I bet over a 33 year climbing career I've only climbed close to my physical limit less than a dozen times, and most of those under duress, with maybe three or four times max under my control.
