While urban myth attributes back pain to "strychnine in the acid" [which
is just not possible for blotter acid], its morelikely that the tripper
was maintaining odd posture for extended periods of time due to their
altered mind state. I reached this conclusion independantly after having
observed that UNIVERSALLY those who were physically active [moving]
during the trip ... never .. ever ... complained of back pain from "bad
acid", while the trippers who spend hours sitting staring at walls had
experienced back pain!!!
Perhaps you somehow injured yourself and were unaware of it at the time.
Suffice to say that LSD did *not* cause any testicular problems, however
you may have unintentionally damaged yourself. See a doc, dont mention
the acid though...
