LSD overdose case reports

2020-02-13 18:50:34.773766+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

LSD Overdoses: Three Case Reports Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, 81(1), 115–118 (2020).

The first case report documents significant improvements in mood symptoms, including reductions in mania with psychotic features, following an accidental lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) overdose, changes that have been sustained for almost 20 years. The second case documents how an accidental overdose of LSD early in the first trimester of pregnancy did not negatively affect the course of the pregnancy or have any obvious teratogenic or other negative developmental effects on the child. The third report indicates that intranasal ingestion of 550 times the normal recreational dosage of LSD was not fatal and had positive effects on pain levels and subsequent morphine withdrawal.

Oh, look, the side-effects of overdosing on LSD are either neutral or positive.

But, please, tell me again how we're overprescribing opiods and hallucinogens are still illegal.
