- NAME
- lsd - turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream
-
- SYNOPSIS
- lsd [ -dsS ] brandname user ...
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Disturbs the given users according to dosage, set, and setting.
- If more than one user is specified, each will be affected by the
- others, according to the arguments they give to lsd on their
- own terminals or machines. It is recommended that one of the users
- in a group specify a dose of 0, and that at least one other user be
- experienced in using lsd.
-
- Brandname is usually a blotter pattern, but may be used to specify
- a non-blotter form, such as "windowpane" or "pyramid."
-
- There are a number of options, each of which can have a strange and
- not completely predictable effect on the users:
-
-
- -d Dosage. A dosage of 1 to 3 is recommended for first time
- users, although strength varies with brandname and storage
- conditions.
-
- -s Set. Recommended values are "calm," "happy," and "groovy."
- Sets like "angry," "frustrated," and "bummed" may cause file
- system damage, and should be avoided. For these sets, other
- utilities are available (see "valium").
-
- -S Setting. Recommended are "familiar," "interesting," and
- "comfortable." Hostile and challenging settings are reserved
- for experienced users.
-
- FILES
- /etc/trips is a log of system-wide use of lsd since booting.
-
- BUGS
- When invoked with incorrect arguments, lsd will print out a random,
- Unixy-sounding error message and remove this man page. This policy
- prevents misuse by undergraduates and fundamentalist Christians.
-
- User state should return to normal in twelve hours or less after
- invoking lsd. With extreme parameters, however, this cannot always
- be guaranteed.
-
- The output device is assumed to be 80 columns wide.

- I don't know where it came from originally, so Please Use Carefully!
- (Remember: Dosage, Set, and SETENV)
