What Would Happen If I Ingested 1 Pound of LSD?

“A pint’s a pound, the world around”.

Peace,

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. :wink: 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?

We didn’t read about the OJ, did we. :wink:

You got a particular reason for asking that, friend… :smiley: ???
You wouldn’t be hiding anything from us now, would you??

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.

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.”

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.

Newspaper taxis would appear on the shore, waiting to take you awayyyyyy.

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):

With a tip 'o the hat to BrainGlutton which he derived "From the Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD): " emphasis mine:

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… :smiley:

Recent thread on the topic, probably redundant, but I’ll post it anyways because I started it. :smiley:

<<Beyond question the most hilarious dipiction of drugs ever put to film.>>
The spelling is “depiction,” 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. If you would please give me your mailing address I’ll tell this woman what you said about hilarious," since what I saw in the news media at the time pretty much matched what Joe Friday said on [Dragnet. She can tell you how hilarious it was to lose her brother. 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.

Your post pretty much speaks for itself, pardner.

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.

Forgive me if I don’t pick up rhetoric very well–are you contradicting the school and the newspaper?
Your concise comment, as it stands, means nothing. Spell it out, bub.

School anti-drug classes are a notoriously bad source of information.

Took the words right out of my mouth!
(and said 'em better than I could. Thanks!)

I would like to remind you, dougie, that in your first post all you said was that your friends brother (1) had bad trips and (2) died at the age of 44. You did not say he died of LSD poisoning – and if you did say it I would call you a liar.

Didn’t that one have a guy who was sucking paint off of a brush? Or was that an Adam-12?

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.

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.” :frowning: )
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.
