Given that I have 2 websites devoted to a specific psychedelic drug, Cecil ought to be paying me to post here with questions like this being asked. 😉 The simple answer is that if you took a pound of LSD, if it didn’t kill you, you are just too stupid to live. Why would any human who deserved to live munch down a pound of a drug where the usual dose was in the microgram range? ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Isn’t LSD normally a liquid? What would a pound of it be, a frozen block? No. Pure LSD is solid at room temperature. It is dissolved in a liquid to assist in applying the proper dosage (a drop) to the paper used to dispense the drug by ingestion. It can also be mixed with gelatin, which is then solidified in sheets marked for separation into individual doses. ---

> [@Dooku](#): > > Again I can attest that if you’re coming down and you take another drop, you’re back up again. IOW, if you space out (heh) a larger amount it will certainly get you higher. I think that depends on the dosage of the original dose. Perhaps with a dose small enough to not dissolve all of the neurotransmitter this would be true, but with a dose sufficiently large, if you drop again just as you’re coming down, you will not go on another trip, you’ll just remain in that “coming-down plateau.” **S** ¬ …^ ---

You would experience flashing lights, like photographer’s flash bulbs popping. Then you would see images of Curly from the Three Stooges doing is craziest antics.

You would climb in the back with your head in the clouds and be gone … to my place. When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go, tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call. Then all the sights and sounds around you would begin too swirl around your head as if going down a drain in your mind. You would hear Howard Cosell shouting, “Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!”. Then nothingness, nothing to see but pure white light, nothing to hear but the eternal dial-tone. Tommy can you see me? Tommy can you hear me? ---

From the Wikipedia ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD)): > [@](#): > > Physical reactions to LSD may include: uterine contractions, body temperature increase, elevated blood sugar levels, dry-mouth, “goose-bumps”, heart-rate increase, jaw clenching, cramps, muscle-tension, nausea, perspiration, pupil-dilation, salivation, mucus production, sleeplessness, tremors. > > LSD functions as a serotonin antagonist, though this is probably not directly related to its hallucinogenic properties, as several chemical analogues to LSD which are psychically inert also antagonize serotonin. > > \ > > **Physical dangers** > > Although LSD is generally considered nontoxic, other dangers may arise from bad judgments made during the experience. As with many drugs, while under the influence of LSD the ability to make sensible judgments and understand common dangers can be impaired, making the user susceptible to personal injury. If the user attempts to drive a car or operate machinery, their impaired state may lead to accidents and injury. > > There is also mounting evidence that LSD can trigger a dissociative fugue state in individuals who are taking certain classes of antidepressants. In such a state, the user has an impulse to wander, and may not be aware of their actions, which can lead to physical injury. Lithium-based antidepressants and tricyclics are believed to have such severe interactions with LSD. MAOIs and SSRIs are believed to interact more benignly, tending to diminish LSD’s subjective effects greatly. > > \ > > **Urban Legends** > > A number of urban legends exist about LSD. The aura of mystique popularly associated with the drug, and a great deal of misinformation issued and propagated by well-meaning anti-drug groups, particularly in United States anti-drug education programs in schools, provide fertile ground for misconceptions to take hold. Such misinformation may be propagated due to simple ignorance, or through deliberate attempts to frighten students away from LSD usage through scare tactics. > > **Blue Star Tattoos** > > One popular meme is the blue star tattoo legend. This meme frequently surfaces in American elementary and middle schools in the form of a flyer that has been photocopied through many generations, which is distributed to parents by concerned school officials. It has also become popular on Internet mailing lists and websites. This legend states that a temporary lick-and-stick tattoo soaked in LSD and made in the form of a blue star, or of popular children’s cartoon characters, is being distributed to children in the area in order to get them addicted to LSD [sic]. The flyer lists an inaccurate description of the effects of LSD, some attribution (typically to a well-regarded hospital or a vaguely specified “adviser to the president”), and instructs parents to contact police if they come across the blue star tattoos. No actual cases of LSD distribution to children in this manner have ever been documented. > > **Retention of LSD in Spinal Fluid** > > A meme with particular appeal to anti-drug educators who wish to instill a healthy fear of the potential long-term effects of LSD in their pupils, and also among casual high school age LSD users, is that the body stores crystallized LSD in spinal fluid or in fat cells, which at some point dislodges and causes horrific flashbacks, perhaps years later. The scientific evidence provides no support whatsoever for this theory, and rather indicates that LSD has a very short half-life in the body, and that most of the drug’s already miniscule dose is eliminated from the system before the trip is even over. (see Flashbacks, above). > > This legend may be derived from the fact that an inert, metabolized form of THC, the main active constituent of marijuana, is in fact stored by the body in fat cells for about a month after use. > > **Different Types of LSD** > > A popular meme with high school and college age users is that there are different “types” of LSD, which produce different types of trips. The types are usually associated with a particular blotter paper design or other dosage form (e.g. sugarcube or geltab), and the resultant trips associated with each dosage form are typically described in terms such as that “blue pyramids [a blotter paper design] give body trips” (a trip of mainly physical sensations with not much mental effect) or a “head trip” (the reverse, mainly mental effects with little physical sensations) or “great visuals” (hallucinations). > > While there is no actual physical variation in the LSD molecules carried on different substrates, this meme is self-reinforcing insofar as a user taking LSD who strongly expects to have a particular type of experience due to ingesting a particular substrate is thus much more likely to actually have that particular kind of experience. > > **Banana Peel Synthesis** > > Another popular theme among naïve LSD users is that it is possible to synthesize LSD from banana peels or other common household foods and chemicals, or that the synthesis of LSD can be easily accomplished in a bathtub. Variants of this legend often circulate on the Internet, and were popular on ‘underground’ BBSes run by high schoolers before the advent of widespread home Internet access. This myth is sometimes related in a way so as to bolster social standing within a drug-using social group through association with the purported chemist, e.g. “My boyfriend/cousin/friend/roommate makes LSD in the bathtub from banana peels”. The actual synthesis requires university training in organic chemistry and requires both expensive laboratory equipment and expensive, carefully controlled precursor chemicals. > > **Strychnine** > > Anti-drug educators frequently tell their students some variant on the theme of inevitable strychnine poisoning through LSD use, for example, that strychnine is commonly sold as a cheaper substitute for LSD by unscrupulous drug dealers; that strychnine is a byproduct of LSD synthesis; that the body produces strychnine as a result of LSD metabolism; or that strychnine is somehow necessary to bond LSD to blotter paper. None of these are true. These memes may even be believed and propagated by drug users themselves. > > Strychnine has indeed rarely been discovered mixed with LSD and other drugs in a few samples recovered by law enforcement agencies, but these were all found in murder or attempted murder investigations where someone was being specifically targeted for poisoning, and not associated with recreational LSD use. > > A related myth is that a new type of gang initiation requires the initiate to put a mixture of LSD and strychnine on the buttons of as many payphones as possible. > > **Fruit Juice Synergy** > > Several legends claim that drinking some specific type of fruit juice (varying from legend to legend) will intensify an LSD trip. While there is no specific physical evidence supporting this claim, if a person under the influence of LSD does something that they believe will intensify their trip, then it is likely to do so. > > **Various Atypical Psychotic Reactions** > > Anecdotal legends retell the stories of LSD users who believed (for example) they could fly and jumped out of a high window; believed themselves immortal and walked onto a highway, only to be hit by a car; thought that they were oranges and locked themselves in a closet for hours for fear of being peeled, etc. While it is not unlikely that isolated instances of such cases have occurred in the long and widespread history of LSD use, these are not typical reactions, though anti-drug educators usually present them as such, in an effort to warn students off of trying LSD. Individuals with preexisting mental problems are much more likely to suffer such effects under the influence of LSD. ---

With a tip 'o the hat to **BrainGlutton** which he derived "From the Wikipedia ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD)): " emphasis mine: > [@](#): > > **Different Types of LSD** > > A popular meme with high school and college age users is that there are different “types” of LSD, which produce different types of trips. The types are usually associated with a particular blotter paper design or other dosage form (e.g. sugarcube or geltab), and the resultant trips associated with each dosage form are typically described in terms such as that “blue pyramids [a blotter paper design] give body trips” (a trip of mainly physical sensations with not much mental effect) or a “head trip” (the reverse, mainly mental effects with little physical sensations) or “great visuals” (hallucinations). Someone needs to notify Wikipedia: “Blue Pyramids” was a geltab design. The gelatin was stamped into a rough texture consisting of 100 tiny (approx. 1/8" square, 1/16" height) hollow, open base pyramid shapes. Easy to transport and divide, it also had a good reputation for being clean and strong. On another point. Back in those days it was rumored that strychnine was added to LSD to increase the more spectacular effects that some desired (colors, sounds, etc.). The purer forms were better for self-exploration – less distracting. One effect that seemed to be present in all forms of LSD, and was one of the first effects to onset, were “trails.” If you moved your hand in front of your face, from one side to the other, your hand would seem to leave ‘trails’ in the air, almost as if you were somehow spread out over time so that you could watch your hand over the span of about a second instead of just in the instant. ‘Trails’ were particularly specacular at dusk and at night. The taillights of cars seemed to leave red flames behind them, like you’d expect from a rocket taking off. Especially dramatic with the pointed taillights in some of the older cars. Or, at least that’s what I heard, anyway… 😃 **S~\<** ---

\<\\> The spelling is “d_e_piction,” for your information. Hilarious? I hardly think so. Part of the curriculum in high school when I was a sophomore, in 1965, in CA, involved Alcohol and Narcotics. And I remember a headline from the L. A. _Times_ saying that evidence of brain damage from LSD “Mounts,” to quote the paper. The man who I mentioned as dying at the age of 44–well, that was the third death in that immediate family, to whom I had become quite close, in 12 years.

How dare you. When my brother and sister and I were little kids our parents gave us some straight talk about drugs. It stuck, although both parents drank and smoked (tobacco). I was 17 when I saw that episode of _Dragnet,_ but years before, on the local news, I saw a kid writhing on the floor in a restroom, under the influence of “goofballs.” So I already had plenty of non-dramatized information about drugs before that episode aired. And that guy’s death was the coup de grace. ---

LSD is an ergot derivative. I have taken ergot derviatives all my life for migraines, and they all have the same effects: nausea and constriction of the cardiovascular system. In fact, LSD was invented by a man looking for a migraine drug. Does anyone know if excess amounts would cause these primary symptoms? In this case, the answer to the OP would be that the person would vomit most of the drug and then suffer from ergot poisoning in which his vital organs would suffer from lack of blood. ---

Liquid LSD can be found, and unfortunately people have come close to what is going on in the \*\*OP]/b]. The school I teach at had a very terrible experience with what is called "_ **Being Puddled** _. Loosly translated someone gets their hands on some liquid acid, pours a small amount in their hands and licks it up. The dose is massive. The girl who did this spent 3 days in her locked dorm room sitting in a stinking pile of urine and feces. People thought she was driven home so no one thought anything of it that her door was closed. She is living out her days in an institution. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Didn’t that one have a guy who was sucking paint off of a brush? Or was that an Adam-12? It sure did–the “Dragnet” episode, that is. Friday and Gannon happened upon a drug party and a young man had a paint brush in his mouth. This weirdo was in fact the one who told the cops where “Blueboy” was. (They found him and a an 18-year-old somewhere else. The kid said to them, “What’s the matter with Benjie? He’s been like that for over an hour. Threw some kind of a fit. Kept saying he wanted to get further out…further out…kept saying he wanted to get further out…” (Friday examined Benjie’s wide-open eyes and said, “Well, he made it: he’s dead.” ☹ ) As for the guy who died, no, I didn’t say he died from LSD poisoning–nearly 30 years after the fact. Remember Jenny in _Forrest Gump?_ I didn’t say _she_ died from drug poisoning, either. Her situation was one wrong move after another. As for the person who put down school anti-drug education, sorry, I don’t accept your appraisal. The alternative in 1965 would have been for me to get drug information from pushers. I guess that is what you want: The blind leading the blind.
