Acid ruined Syd Barrett's career and altered John Lennon's brain to the point that he found Yoko Ono attractive. Very bad stuff!

LSD messed John's mind enough for him to be happy as Yoko's house-husband. John was an aggressive, masculine and nasty person prior to acid which zoned him out

I disagree. Acid might have sped up Syd Barrett's decline, but I don't believe it was the cause of his mental problems. And really, you could make a case that acid CAUSED his career. If there were no acid, Pink Floyd would have never hit the big time.

As for John Lennon, well, I don't really hold it against him that he found an ugly girl attractive. But that ugly philosophy that he found so attractive, that is what condemns him in my eyes. But again, I don't blame the acid.

LSD can indeed be bad stuff for some people to take. Anyone with existing mental problems or even just generally feeble minded should avoid it. LSD can also be good stuff for some people to take.
