LSD can kill: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/1198604... http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2015/11/11/coroner-... http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/nov/10/nick-caves-son-...

Hmm maybe it's just me but I have a hunch the fall from high altitude was the cause of death.

I love Acid and have taken the occasional microdose myself but I cannot support the authors attitude. The benefits described can all be achieved through meditation and single real doses of LSD, but after all it is merely a chemical shortcut to these higher states of conciousness where your mind loses its grip on you and you gain uninterrupted access to insight and creativity. Microdosing acid every fourth day is neit…

Well, not so much.

There is no evidence that LSD is toxic to humans. It is, physically, one of the safest drugs you can take. Mentally is a different story, but at micro doses, you're hardly feeling the normal psychedelic effects that occur at recreational doses, so there's hardly potential for "bad trips". I'm guessing that micro dosing is perfectly healthy.

The only problems are A) knowing what you're taking is LSD and B) knowing what dose you're taking, as you're dealing with an active dose of millionths of grams.

It seems like it's the sudden stop doing most of the damage.

How does one manage to get/make a 10 micrograms dose without professional help? Or even with for that matter?

Get liquid and dilute 10x. I can't imagine that you could cut up paper hits into ten tiny little pieces.

I am not talking about toxicity or bad trips, I am talking about your neurotransmitter systems. Permanent exposure to chemically altered levels and heavy fluctuations can and will change in you very negative ways and cause tons of problems nevermind the dose. I speak from experience.

Volumetric dosing. Put 100ug in 100ml of (distilled) water, measure 10ml and consume.
