Acid (LSD) in the tank?

[a bag of it]

So I'm sure none of you have the answer to this, but my roommate was wondering what, if anything would happen if you dropped a tab of acid into the tank? I'm guessing nothing...any ideas?

Lol, you would get a lot of extra hands in your tank......

I don't know anything about LSD but I'd assume it would depend on what it's made of chemically

 

[aztecdreams]

I think I remember hearing it contained some strychnine. Don't know if it's true

 

[Cake_Boss]

Only one way to find out....

Would depend on what size the tank is. Lets say 29 gallon bio cube. It would kill corals for sure, likley any other invertebrates as well. It had a very high and toxic chemical make up regardless of how its made, its nothing more than a heavy poison, and this is what makes you trip. It basically would reak havok on any that feeds by filtering the water.

Now drop a tab in a FOWLR and that might call for a fun night. The fish might just trip!

Not sure where you're getting your info, but LSD is not toxic at all and certainly doesn't make you trip by 'poisoning' you.

LOL...like meth isn't toxic either.

lol, I dont think it would kill anything, unless it freaked out on a bad trip and jumped out.

I'm not sure I understand this comment, meth is definitely toxic

LSD work by forcing chemicals already in your brain to release, so I doubt it would do much to fish as I doubt fish have the needed chemicals in them.

Wiki Wiki wiki!

"LSD," writes the chemist Alexander Shulgin, "is an unusually fragile molecule."[SUP][5][/SUP] It is stable for indefinite time if stored as a solid salt or dissolved in water, at low temperature and protected from air and light exposure.

chlorine destroys LSD molecules on contact; even though chlorinated tap water contains only a slight amount of chlorine, the small quantity of compound typical to an LSD solution will likely be eliminated when dissolved in tap water.[SUP][5][/SUP]
