The hoody part adds validity to this story IMO

I took the SATs my second time the night after taking LSD and was still seeing decent trails. I did better than when I took it the first time and got very close to a perfect verbal score iirc.

A skilled geologist recognizes the rocks they can safely lick. Licking every rock is just stupid. Imagine licking asbest.

I always lick asbest. I'm the best licker there is

I believe licking asbestos is fairly unproblematic. You just really shouldn’t breathe in asbestos dust.

Asbestos definitely causes inflammation when tissues are exposed to it, I wouldn't recommend that anyone lick asbestos. One exposure wouldn't do much. That said I'm pretty sure the act of picking asbestos up and bringing it to your face and breathing it in would be the most dangerous part of that.

Doc Ellis threw a no hitter on LSD in 1970.

ITT: people who have clearly never done acid pretending they’ve done acid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've never done it, does it always make you want to lick rocks?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I mean…it certainly hasn’t for me haha. But maybe I just haven’t taken enough 🤷‍♂️

The untold story: 1.) the grade was curved due to everyone's low numbers

2.) no one wanted to get near the rocks to identify them because there was one weird mofo walking on all fours around the displays, randomly snarling and licking each one

Homeslice identified a few more than everybody else and his grade shot to the moon.

They we're actually kind of okay with the licking until taking his sweatshirt on and off aggressively while grunting and sweating... That's what made it too much for them. Geology nerds.

  1. the teacher didn't want that mofo again in their class
[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

As someone who does LSD whenever she can (Which is... sadly not as often as you'd think)

This doesn't surprise me

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (16 children)

I really want to experiment with psychedelics but I have no idea where to even start on obtaining them lol

Plot twist: Wasn't a Geology major, there was no test.

In order for licking the rocks to help on the test, he must have already tasted them before.
