Well I'm doing a science project so I wanna know

No molecule or compound is inherently good or bad. For the record.
And it really depends how acidic it is. An extremely strong acid can be very dangerous... but so can an extremely strong base. And life tends to be more accommodating of acids.

There are tons of different acids & they have just as many uses. You need to be more specific. At this moment, I am sitting her w/ glycolic acid on my face for a chemical acid peel- for 5 minutes it is excellent but beyond that it is bad because it will burn. See what I mean?

well acid can be either it just depends how it is being used like it is good if you need it for an experiment but it is bad if you get it on you.

Your stomach needs acid to pre-process food so it can be absorbed into your body. You also need bile (an alkali) to neutralize that acid later so you don't burn holes in your pants if you leak a little.
So good? Bad? Who knows? I don't. But necessary? Yes.

Acid is great, Its non-additive and nontoxic. Also it can lead to life changing experiences like a spiritual awakening. Just take it in a good state of mind and in a nice comfortable safe place

just remeber this..both strong acids and strong bases are corrosive. that means...they are good cleansers..but very harmful to our health...weak acids and bases however are always useful in pharmaceuticals and other cleaning reagents since they are not as corrosive as strong acids and bases. so what they say are right. it all depends on how you use it. for example...concd H2SO4 is a very corrosive acid. but you can use it to produce sulfates which are commonly used in Fe-based drugs ( eg. ferrous sulfate Fe(SO4) ) but if you used it in gas chambers by gaseous H2SO4 then its harmful so there....i hope i answered your question.

Depends on what kind some is toxic but i no that the stuff they put on sour patch kids and warheads to make them sour is citric acid
so you can even eat certain kinds

depends...but usually acid is erosive and not a good sign. its is usually the base for all mixtures though.

shrooms are safer.
MDMA leaves permanent damage, and it also is more likely to end up having other chemicals laced in with it.
and it is more expensive.
just be careful, and do not get addicted.

Depends on who you bought it from.
