The Woman Who Accidentally Took 550 Doses of LSD in One Hit
Microdosing is all the rage – but here’s the story of an accidental megadose of Acid.
I’ve taken large doses of psychedelics before. I’ve had a very intense, two-day journey on Ayahuasca after drinking the brew throughout. It was a little crazy, but ultimately golden. But never would I dream of taking 550 times the normal dose of LSD.
Nor did the lady who did just that. It was an accident. An LSD dose is physically tiny, and often served on separate small bits of paper. But before it’s measured and dosed, it’s in a powder form and looks, apparently, a bit like cocaine. That’s where this lady snorted up an epic mistake.
Megadosing
A line of cocaine may be one normal dose, but it seems a line of LSD powder is more in the range of 550 doses. Oops. That’s a case of mistaken identity that’s going to have some interesting results.
Luckily, LSD isn’t physically toxic, and a lethal dose has never been reached. As you can imagine though, she went on a bit of a journey.
Aside from luckily being able to call for help before the effects fully kicked in, she was then unable to move for the next…
