Take an acid trip and the grey December weather will suddenly seem a lot more colourful and exciting, claims More Acid Now spokesperson Lucy Skaai. ‘After swallowing a tab, you will see the dark winter clouds turn into cheerful, rotating mandalas. We see it as the ultimate solution for the winter blues. It certainly worked in the 60s.’
Skaai hopes all of Holland will get into the LSDecember spirit by spacing out with a trip or two. ‘Of course we aren’t encouraging the use of drugs,’ says Skaai, ‘But what else are you supposed to do in that miserable week between Christmas and New Year? Anyway, LSD has been proved to be the drug least damaging to health by far.’
It is time to reinstate LSD as the drug of choice
That is shown by a Wageningen University study with pigs. ‘Of course pigs are not humans, but we see pigs in factory farms really perk up when you give them the occasional tab that lets them escape from reality for a day,’ says Ken Var, senior researcher in Drugs Use and Animals.
The latest Substance Abuse Monitor, a survey of young people, shows that the use of LSD has declined in recent years. That is unfortunate, says Skaai. ‘It’s difficult to believe that young people these days are all taking ketamine and 3MMC when there are healthier alternatives. It is time to reinstate LSD as the drug of choice.’
Skaai does however wish to add a warning. ‘Psychedelic drugs aren’t for everyone. If you have been doing a lot of doom-scrolling recently or keep a close watch on global politics, don’t take LSD. The risk of having a bad trip is too big. Stick to good old alcohol instead.’
