Can LSD cause overdose

Answer 1

There have been no documented cases of death from LSD overdose. (There was one reported, but it was later found to NOT be LSD that caused her death). However, overlarge quantities of LSD can cause severe hallucinations, panic attacks, and suicidal feelings.

Answer 2

No. You can die if you do something stupid while on it, but i don't think you'd be able to afford the lethal dose of it.

Also, despite urban legends about spinal column build up and crystals, or flashbacks from cracking your back, LSD is out of your system in about half an hour. It's completely water soluble and cannot crystallize or stay in your body. The real trip is how something that passes that fast can affect you for 8-18 hours. It really is all in your head.

To be safe make sure you have a good set and setting, as well as a trusted trip-sitter. If you don't know what those are, take a read around www.erowid.org or Google them.

Answer 3

LSD is dosed by brain size. In one experement an elephant was injected with LSD, causing instant effects. His eyes rolled into the back of his head, his muscles tensed and he fell over. Later it was discovered that he had a heart attact.

Answer 4

You can die from LSD just like any drug it is good but bad for you and can kill you in a heart beat.

I don't know where your getting your information from but you can be anymore wrong. I am not a doctor and not claiming to be, but I have done some research on this. No there is no claim on any death on LSD ( besides from killing your self from a bad trip ). But other than that this person said "You can die from LSD just like any drug" um ya can you please find a death from marijuana, because I am pretty sure there is no death EVER recorded from the use of marijuana.

Answer 5

The amount of LSD needed to cause a life-threatening overdose is so great that the average user is at virtually no risk of overdose. However, taking too great of an amount can lead to a very unpleasant experience that may cause a great deal of psychological distress.

Answer 6

Since the lethal dosage of LSD is so large compared to recreational dosages, it is extremely unlikely that LSD will be directly lethal. However, it may cause psychological effects which can lead to suicide and fatal accidents.

Answer 7

Yes, it is possible to overdose on hallucinogens, but the safety varies widely based on the specific drug. LSD and psilocybin are exceedingly unlikely to be lethal, whereas deliriants like datura and nightshade are easily fatal in an overdose.

Answer 8

No. You can not overdose off of LSD. There have been cases where people have consumed ungodly amounts of LSD without dying. This does not mean you should go out and try illegal drugs that can mess up your brain and cause you to be permanently psychotic.

However no human deaths have ever occurred because of LSD. There have been some cases where people have killed themselves, but the substance itself hasn't caused physical deaths. (Of course ego deaths are totally different case.

Answer 9

No. In one case, a man thought it was speed and injected 320 milligrams (about 3000 doses of LSD) and died, but it is not possible
