“Marijuana fueled brawl”, where the police show up at a tavern or home just doesn’t seem to be catching on.

There may be increased shoplifting of snacks from the 7-11.

Drug overdoses can be life-threatening, but for two women who accidentally took massive hits of LSD, the experience was life changing -- and in a good way.

A 46-year-old woman snorted a staggering 550 times the normal recreational dose of LSD and not only survived, but found that the foot pain she had suffered from since her 20s was dramatically reduced.

Separately, a 15-year-old girl with bipolar disorder overdosed on 10 times the normal dose of the drug, which she said resulted in a massive improvement in her mental health.

Their experiences were detailed in case reports published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs last month, along with that of a third woman who accidentally overdosed on LSD during the second week of pregnancy. She ultimately gave birth to a healthy son, now 18, who has not shown any impaired development.

he 49-year-old woman, known as CB, 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 authors defined a normal recreational dose as 100 micrograms -- equal to 0.1 milligrams.
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. Ten 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 two 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.

Just take 550 doses yourself if that’s what you’re promoting.

If you have any family that have OD’d on it, you might change your opinion.

Edit: Tell it to my vegetable brother.
Double edit: His birthday was yesterday and he would love to hear about the benefits of LSD. 🙄

Sorry to hear about it
Sorry to hear original pink Floyd member Syd Barrett went crazy after too much acid
Oh well
Right up there with hard core alcoholics
Freedom has its price
I'd rather have freedom then a nanny state
