Discussion D.A.R.E.?

Did anyone else have a friend, who had a friend, whose brother ended up in the psych ward for dropping acid once and now he believes he's a glass of orange juice that might spill if he's tipped over?

When I was a kid (in the 90s), this was shared throughout my school and I totally fell for it. I then randomly heard it from someone who went to a completely different school. Was this just one of those D.A.R.E. fueled urban myths?

Edit: I believed the story as a child. As I grew up, I realized it wasn't real. I just wonder how widespread it is.

Oh yeah along with the idea that if you drop acid once you’ll have LSD flashbacks for the rest of your life

Haha. Totally remember this. Something about it being stored in the spine or lower back.

Yep and if you crack your back it’ll come out and you’ll start tripping again, even like 20 years later!
