What is LSD, what does it do to your brain and the reason it’s not lethal even at large doses?
In: Biology
To be fair, as I recall there IS a lethal dose of LSD. Heck, there’s a lethal dose of plain water. In both cases, I think it’s physically difficult (though not impossible) to ingest that much due to volume limitations of our digestive system.
In other words, to take a lethal dose of LSD, you might have to drink more than your stomach could hold. You certainly couldn’t absorb that much any other way, at least not fast enough. Someone would probably have to keep feeding it to you steadily for a long period.
Of course, that much potent hallucinogen may kill you anyway, since you could easily forget to drink for more than 3 days (which is fatal), or have a fatal accident (walking into traffic or some other dangerous environment, oblivious to what is really around you, etc.). Obviously that could happen on even a short trip, but a really, really long one would multiply your odds for sure.
