A coworker was telling me today about someone who supposedly sat before Congress reading from a book about LSD. After he read a page, he’d tear it out and eat it. At the end of his testimony he explained that he just proved it was impossible to overdose on LSD because every page he ate had been dosed with LSD. This sounds like an urban legend to me, but then again, old Tim Leary (to name but one famous acid advocate) might have done something like that. Anybody know?
