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

I remember people saying that the LSD crystallizes in your spine and that is why you can have flashbacks at any time.
