   Look up the lives of Albert Hoffman, Timothy Leary, and Terrence McKenna at Erowid.com. Present both sides of the issue not just the government propaganda.

   If you can find information on Timothy Leary, he was the one that introduced L.S.D., and wrote a book about it, if you really want to get the true facts. Art Linkletters, daughter, jumped out of a hotel window, thinking she could fly, Jimmi Hendrix, did many concerts, under the influence of acid, and Carlos Santana, said when he was at woodstock, and I mean the first one, I was there too, he said his guitar looked like a snake, as the neck of the guitar, was moving all over, and he said after it was all over, he never touched drugs again. There is a lot of history behind LSD. There is another story, about the merry pranksters, who got this old bus, and everybody was taking LSD, and the bus and them were one. Very funny story.

   Take some for a clearer picture of what your dealing with.

   To truly answer this question I would have to know what grade you are preparing this skit for, though I will assume Highschool and move onward from there.
   The things that you must remember about LSD are the primary facts:
   1) LSD is considered by the DEA (and the world) to be Non-Toxic. It is very hard to overdose on LSD accidentally.
   2) LSD is *not* physically addictive, and rarely causes a psychological addiction.
   3) LSD does have limited legitimate use in psychiatric treatment.
   4) LSD is a hallucinegen, and is mood dependant. A person taking LSD in a good mood in a calm and peaceful environment is likely to have a “good trip” however a person taking LSD while under stress or while at a chaotic setting can be very bad.
   5) LSD has triggered psychosis to appear in users, however this is only in users who’s families have a history of mental illness already.
   6) LSD can trigger flashbacks that can appear for up to six months after the user has terminated drug use.
   7) The myths about the man who thinks he is a glass of orenge juice and such are just that, Myths. They are not true.
   The primary dangers of LSD come from the things users may do while on the drug rather than the drug itself. A person who has a bad trip for example might believe that they have bugs crawling over their face and may tear, gouge, or cut themselves in order to get rid of them which can cause severe damage to their face and body.
   9) There are *no* known long-term physical effects of LSD usage.
   ————————————–…
   For a skit I would choose a realistic scenario. A girl, at a club, who is nervous and is generally not used to the setting. The club is chaotic, with loud music, flashing lights, and is uncomfortably warm due to being packed with bodies.
   A friend of the girl offers her a tab of the drug, which the nervous girl accepts. A few minutes pass and she seems to start enjoying herself but then suddenly beings to break out in a sweat. Her friends take her to the bathroom where she complains that the room is spinning, that she is dizzy and sick.
   She will talk nonsense for a moment stating that the sound is smothering her, the flashing lights are burning her, and that the heat is deafening her. (which are all common effects of the drug)
   The girl will fall to the ground at this point and curl into the fetal position sobbing, if you wish to go for gross-out points have her friends try to help her and note that she just soiled herself.
   In the end give a realistic end scenario… The girl is not arrested… She does not die… She goes home… She’s fine, more or less, she is sick, her whole night was ruined, and she destroyed a perfectly good dress by soiling it.
   That is motivation enough to get people to shy away from LSD.
