I share your skepticism. Part of the problem with the War on Drugs is that forcing science underground basically puts us in a medieval situation, where we have to rely on word of mouth and personal experiences.

It doesn't sound like LSD to me either, but all I can say for sure is that I took a whole bunch of stuff which people told me was LSD, back in the day, and that it affected me differently.

edit: skepticism significantly increased, now that people are talking about LSD causing reduced inhibitions. seen and experienced extraordinary counterexamples. it's not alcohol, folks.
