...Acid, more properly 9-d-Iysergic acid, is dropped by 2.8 million Americans every year. This pales in comparison to the 40 million estimated pot smokers and the 25 million citizens that have used cocaine. LSD has no known adverse effects, except in cases of extremely heavy use--and then the ramifications are usually psychological, not physical. In the 30 years since its introduction to the American drug world, there has never been a reported overdose due to acid...
...Since acid can be cooked up by anyone with a good chemistry set and a mind bored by "Chemistry Safari," virtually all production is domestic and on a relatively small scale. It's cheap, about $2 to $5 per dose, so there is essentially no crime involved to obtain the money to trip...
...seems strange, then, that the DEA's head of LSD operations, Gene Haislip, said at the end of last year about the nation's acid problem, "We've opened up a vein here. We're going to mine it until this whole thing turns around." The problems with this statement run deeper than Haislip's unfortunate drug-addled "vein" analogy. The fact that the DEA has tripled spending and personnel on a drug that doesn't harm anyone physically, doesn't make people harm each other and isn't corrupting national governments in the tropics should make one wonder...
Some cases are literally overrun by attorneys. An example is the Stringfellow Acid pits in Riverside County, California: a 1983 EPA lawsuit -- followed by a civil suit by 3,800 plaintiffs -- targeted more than 200 prps (potentially responsible parties), including McDonnell Douglas, Rockwell International, Northrop Corp. and Weyerhaeuser. In the early stages of the legal battle in the mid-1980s, Riverside County lacked a courthouse that could accommodate the burgeoning stream of lawyers. An old building was converted to a courtroom just to house them. Although a number of corporate defendants have settled with plaintiffs, the site has never been...
...says two Israeli scientists, Mati Fridkin and Illan Gozes, have developed a lotion that may help men who are impotent because of physical problems -- for instance, some men suffering complications from diabetes. Called Stearyl-VIP, the lotion, which would be rubbed onto the penis, is a combination of stearic acid and vasoactive intestinal peptide, a natural agent involved in producing an erection. Israeli officials have yet to approve clinical trials on humans...
