LSD is highly unpredictable.
No two people respond to LSD the same way. A trip can become a nightmare,
known as a "bummer." Most bummers can last from 12 to 18 hours.
Imagine not being able to wake up from a nightmare for 18 hours.
Now imagine having that nightmare come back uncontrollably for weeks,
months or even years after you stop taking the drug. Now imagine
jumping out a window, because you think that your flesh is being
consumed by insects. Once a person has a "bummer" they can irrationally
put themselves in great danger in order to escape a bad trip. This
irrational behavior can result in death.
