Is It Possible To Overdose On LSD Or Psilocybin?

It is virtually impossible to overdose on marijuana as we all know. In fact there is a greater chance to overdose on water than it is on weed (no one has ever died of weed overdose, a few people die every year from water overdose).

I read somewhere that LSD and psilocybin are as non-toxic as marijuana and equally impossible to overdose. Is this true? Is it really virtually impossible to overdose on LSD or psilocybin?

I also assume that other psychedelics such as Mescaline, DOM, AMT, and DMT (except MDMA) also has a low chance of overdose. Is this true? If so, are they as non-toxic as LSD, psilocybin, and marijuana?

Well, AMT is much more dangerous than MDMA. I am not sure about DOM. DMT is relatively non-toxic, as far as I know. Mescaline is probably very safe, as well. But I am no expert. You are very wrong about AMT though. That shit is rough.

From what I have heard, deaths from LSD or psilocybin would be more likely caused by a heart attack brought on by intense fear/bad trip, as opposed to toxicity. I did read somewhere that an elephant was dosed with a few grams(yes, grams) of LSD and died as a result. I can't remember if the death was caused by some sort of toxicity or from overly-intense panic.

 

i heard it was cos they injected the heffalump with something else aswell, in my random back stage of my mind i think it was some kind of (actually i have no idea anymore).

 

To date, no human has ever died as a result of LSD ingestion. The elephant experiment is controversial at best. Here is link that discusses it - http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_history4.shtml

 

DOM and AMT are possible to overdose on AFAIK. Those are dirty fuckin drugs right there.

 

say you took like 100 hits of acid.... would that be any more intense than like a 10 hit trip? is there an amount where the effects just stop getting stronger... like with weed? when i smoke if i smoke an ounce as opposed to an eighth... i really wont be much higher. just a random question.

 

hahaha ofcourse 100 hits is a pissload more intense than ten , not like i have ever done 100 but L gets more and more intense with everyhit no mater what you take

 

Some would disagree and say there is a saturation point. I believe scientifically the saturation point people would be right... Not too sure.

 

im positive of the saturation point,,..

im half way there..

ya may not OD,,but ya may never come back..

 

i would imaine if there is one it would be pretty damn high FAR over 10 hits

 

Imagine*

 

I heard it's as low as 500 ug, probably closer to 1 mg i imagine though.

 

If the trip gets a lot more intense the more LSD you take, I would have thought that there would have been a few overdoses. I would assume at least one person would take this theory to the next level and see how high they could get without stopping.

 

More than one person has done this. A lot of people have.

 

Overdoses?

 

No, people who take it to the 'next level.'

 

Yea but you would think someone would have already reached point of overdose while taking it to the next level by now (at least one).

Maybe it is not possible to overdose on, and this maybe somewhat of a divine providence . Maybe your suppossed to take more and more until you reach complete enlightenment or something.

Which basiclly means that LSD is as non-toxic as weed.

 

It is impossible to OD and DIE from it. Overdose just means you took too much. Many people have taken too much.. too much man too much.

 

2ce's is correct; metabolism is the governing factor with LSD (as it is with most drugs), because it's actually very rapidly metabolized (though the effects last for several hours) , psilocin actually passes through the urine unchanged. The more you take, the more bent you're gonna get.

he's also right about AMT. that shit is filthy, not to mention, a potent MAOI...and MAOI's can, and will be deadly, if misused.

though it's technically possible to die from too much of ANY compound, it's called "toxic shock"; the likelyhood of that happening from ingesting too much LSD or shrooms is very low. you're more likely to die from masturbating too hard.
