>I heard one where a guy thought he was a glass of orange juice, and was terrified of laying down b/c he was afraid he'd pour himself out.

That is one of the original pieces of anti-LSD mythology, along with "I heard about this guy who thought he could fly, so he jumped off a building." The story you quote usually ends with, "and then he fell over by accident and he died of a heart attack."

This is why you are being downvoted.



Haha, thanks for the explanation, much appreciated. Never occured to me to Snopes something I heard IRL instead of via silly email forward. I feel so gullible now...
