In 2015, a woman accidentally snorted 55 mg of pure LSD, because she thought it was cocaine, which is 550 times the recommended recreational dose of 100 micrograms. She not only survived, but she eventually found that the foot pain she had suffered from since her 20s was dramatically reduced.

[A woman in her 40s…](https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/27/health/lsd-overdoses-case-studies-wellness)
>…had contracted Lyme disease in her early 20s, which damaged her feet and ankles and left her in “significant pain.”
In September 2015, she took 55 milligrams of what she believed was cocaine but was actually “pure LSD in powder form.”
…
The woman blacked out and vomited frequently for the next 12 hours but reported feeling “pleasantly high” for the 12 hours after that – still vomiting, but less often.
According to her roommate, she sat mostly still in a chair, either with her eyes open or rolled back, occasionally speaking random words. 10 hours later, she was able to hold a conversation and “seemed coherent.”
Her foot pain was gone the next day and she stopped using morphine for five days. While the pain returned, she was able to control it with a lower dose of morphine and a microdose of LSD every three days**.** After more than 2 years, in January 2018, she stopped using both morphine and LSD and reported no withdrawal symptoms, although the case report said she did experience an increase in anxiety, depression and social withdrawal.
…
They (researchers) noted that in CB’s case “ingestion of 550 times the normal recreational dosage of LSD was not fatal and had positive effects on pain levels and subsequent morphine withdrawal.”
Direct agonism of 5HT1A and 5HT2A will not kill you because these receptors are not important for your breathing or muscles (like µ-opioid (Fentanyl etc.), Acetylcholine (Atropine, Sarine, VX,..), or anything connected to ion channels (wierd snakes and octopusses and shit)), but it is certainly very unpleasant.
I’m sure everything she experienced was dramatically reduced after that much of an lsd trip.
She overloaded her brain.
I once took about 5x a normal dose and had the best and worst night ever.
sounds fucking hectic. took 1200mg (micrograms) once and saw a new fucking universe.
I’m about to snort LSD to get rid of my back pain
The moral of the story is that EVERYONE should snort a lot of LSD.
LSD is a cool experience
I cannot imagine the second 12 hours of a 24-hour trip being “pleasant”
And I thought the Brown Acid I got at a Dead show was strong.
That’s alot.
Thorazine time.
Yo, quick question. I just found 2 tabs hidden in a picture frame from around 9 years ago. If I rub it in my eyes will it cure my recent spinal damage?
Genuine question, any advice gratefully received.
Im just wondering, what Kind of situation, do you have to be in, to mix up coke with pure LSD. That Shit is Kind of rare isnt it?
As someone who used to do a lot of psychedelics. There’s a roof on how high you can get.
At some point you white out.
I willingly took a 3-4x dose before and was seeing mind blowing visuals. I would love to hear her full account of the experience if she can even remember or comprehend what happened lol.
Recent evidence published suggests these agents can help with chronic pain disorders so that fits
Could have happend to me I also forget the difference between Mg and mg
Sounds like a fun way to speed-run psychosis.
I took four times a normal dose because my knucklehead friend thought the blotters were weak. They were not. I was at a Grateful Dead concert outdoors, though, so good place to be.
Still wasn’t anything near that one time I smoked salvia. That ONE time.
> *”She not only survived-“*
**Anecdotal information considering you cannot overdose on LSD but whatever.**
Christ, that much acid and the pain her mother felt giving birth to her would disappear, never mind in her own foot.
I believe the only recorded death caused by an LSD overdose was a man that took the equivalent of 12,000 doses and kept a trip log of the entire event. I know I’ve read it before but I can’t seem to find it.
Who keeps pure LSD lying around to be randomly snorted?
Who just leaving a bump of lsd laying around?
I’m kinda confused, how did she snort pure acid?
Any lsd I’ve come into contact with was just liquid or liquid dropped onto tabs, or liquid mixed with something to make gel tabs
Is lsd a crystal and the liquid a carrier? Or like, was this lsd dropped onto powder?
I can’t even imagine the horror of that experience. Take 3 or 4 doses at once and it’s not so much ‘fun’ as it is a difficult ordeal. 550 hits would be unimaginable.
This just reminds me of SLC Punk. I need to give it another watch.
I once took 4x the recommended dose of 2ci was a 3 day trip I was exhausted at then end of it and fed up of not seeing normal 😆
Foot doesn’t hurt, but it talks nonstop in a thick Swedish accent, and kicks people without warning- damn foot has Tourette’s and is a liar..
Ever since when is LSD sold in powder form? And who the fuck leaves such an insane amount of LSD just lying open in a way it could be confused as something else and used by someone else just like that?
I watched a guy sit next to a wall for 24+ hours. Completely changed his personality for the better. About 5 hits LSD.
Near my home town a wrestler ingested LSD and went for a winter barefoot walk in the snow, and got frostbite and was found by the school janitor as he had run to the school…. two sides of the same coin, he now has no feet
I’m pretty sure the CIA tried to find the lethal dose of LsD on prisoners, and couldn’t
An incredible number of pain conditions have been reported to improve on psychedelics: https://psychedelicstoday.teachable.com/p/introduction-to-psychedelics-for-chronic-pain?utm_content=/finding-a-course-idea-that-will-make-money&utm_sales_page_cta=button-3
And I thought taking a 5g mushroom chocolate bar with 2 gel tabs of lsd was nuts when I did it and I’m surprised I didn’t jump off the roof trying to fly like Superman. This lady probably became reality herself with that much lsd.
