A woman took 550 times the usual dose of LSD, with surprisingly positive consequences
2020-02-29
[CNN] 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.

#10  LSD is a serotonin inhibitor. Once all your serotonin is inhibited it can't inhibit anymore. So yes it will get washed out of your system before it's all used up.

#7  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."

A run for Senate is in order.

#4  She was free from all mental illness symptoms (bipolar or other) for 13 years until she gave birth

Key takeaways:

Taking drugs might cure you.

Giving birth will drive you back insane.

Try obscenely high doses bring truly nietzschean transformation.

Drug dealers can now become faith healers.

Kanye West is very interested.
