LSD Use in the Ranks Prompts Testing at USMC Base

It’s anecdotal, but a friend in Newport News told me sailors preferred LSD as it didn’t show up in the drug screening being done at the time.

We simply referred to a sentence at Portsmouth Naval Prison as “A trip to see the men in the shiny shoes”!

The first time I went aboard a carrier as a young sailor, I was walking around, just checking everything out.

I walked down a ladder, and I saw a sailor sitting on the floor not moving or talking, facing a bulkhead. It was odd, and I looked further, there was another sailor standing with his nose against the wall.

This was really odd.

As I was processing this, I looked up to see a Marine standing there watching me. When I noticed him, he didn’t say a word, but just pointed back up the ladder.

Light dawns on Marblehead, as we say up here. It was the Brig.

I resolved to make sure I never ended up down there with my nose against a wall.

I’m all for random drug testing as long as everyone is subject to it.

I find it very inquisitive certain occupations are not subjected to these actions, like cops, judges, Congress, the Senate, school teachers etc. None of these occupations are subjected to these random tests, yet they have the power/authority to destroy hundreds of thousands of lives.

Sheesh.

Last thing you want to be is high on LSD in a fire fight.

Probably fake news.

Just sayin.

Mandatory drug testing was happening 45 years ago when I served.

Mandatory drug testing was not in existence 50 years ago when I served......

"Ugh, why would you ever take that crap, especially in the military?"

Because a few counterculture, socialist, anti-American psychologists on drugs have been saying that hallucinogenics are medicine, and that they're good for people. Their lies about the drugs are posted to sites all over the Net. Some of the MSM companies have even posted that garbage.

It was 40 years ago.

The Army is doing away with weekly random drug tests in an effort to ease the burden on commanders while still deterring soldiers from using illicit drugs. Every soldier will be tested at least once a year.

I guess it would be fun if I was hanging out in a room with friends, but riding a bike around speeding traffic was hell on earth lol

Marine Corps to leathernecks: Quit taking LSD
New York Post
By Jorge Fitz-Gibbon
December 2, 2020
"The Marine Corps is admitting it has a drug problem, after 'several' marines and sailors were caught dropping acid during random drug tests, military news site Task & Purpose said...'We have a drug problem in the 2nd Marine Division,' Major Gen. Francis Donovan, the division commander, said in a statement."

I work for DOD and I get randomly drug tested... So it is still out there...

LSD is completely gone from the body in 72hrs.

It's probably not fake news. See comment #52.

Jesus people, way to get your magic underwear twisted.
Isn’t this religious discrimination?

Sometimes the LDS kids come to my house babbling about Maroni and genealogy and stuff but the seem nicely dressed and clean cut

But not the military, right?

So how often do you get tested?
