Title: does LSD have a ceiling effect?
Post by: psychedelia on June 19, 2012, 06:07 am
That is, is there a dosage than which you can't get any higher?

I can't seem to find much good information about this.

I've taken ten hits at once, and I want to go even higher. But I also don't want to waste LSD.

Google "thumbprint dose" that should answer your question.

ive heard at around 1000 micrograms it starts to plateu, so thats 10-20 hits depending on your dose. but ive also heard of one guy eating a half sheet (50 doses) and he woke up in hawaii after being in colorado, he tripped for a week strait and was never he same after that, in and out of mental hospitals, his life was basically ruined.

be careful going over 1000mcg.... thats all im gonna say.

How the hell could you make it through an airport while on such a high dose of acid? There's no way this is true!

In the Drugs Inc about LSD on National Geographic there was a cop who shaved before entering a LSD factory, so his pores were open, and he absorbed the equivalent of 1000 doses, according to the show. He tripped for 9 hours in a hospital isolation room and had a seizure at the end before a nurse stepped in and saved him.

I knew a guy who ate up a whole sheet. One month later, he was two midgets.

Surely the cieling would be complete ego death, how can you get higher than that?

Plus a free ticket to mental institution.

At a certain point, the 5ht2a receptors are overloaded and the intensity doesn't increase - just duration.

I arrived to a campground late afternoon. I watched a guy running around with what looked like the Culligan cooler jug that had the bottom two inches or so filled with what he claimed was L -- He had a cloth mitten with jester-like finger tips that dangled down a foot each. He was placing his palm on the end of the jug and tipping it over producing droplets off the glove that he was sprinkling on those willing. Dosing anyone and everyone for free. I was young at the time and quite frankly terrified of the son of a bitch so I passed up on the offer.

Hours later and deep into the night you would hear these guttural yells that would bellow out of no where and last inhumanly long. Walking back to our campsite, the origin of the yelling was coming to a pinpoint. We found the source and it was that very same guy. He was sitting naked on a rug out front of a late 80's Corsica with his knees tucked into his chest and his eyes were focus upwards despite his head being forward. The glove was gone from what I could recall but there was an empty Culligan jug next to him standing up right. We sat there waiting for another one of these human fog horn blasts since from a decibel perspective it was quite impressive. Sure enough after about two minutes watching him rock back and forth muttering to himself his held tilted back slowly as he inhaled a rib cracking amount of air and just fucking rocked it -- one of those real deep from the belly booms. You could see his jaw tighten and veins emerge on his forehead and neck while he screamed for like 30 seconds straight. I had no idea how he wasn't passing the fuck out.

I decided then and there that a good head fuck, enhanced music and some shaky trees was good enough for me anytime I dose. I hope you find your ceiling, but I'll just stick to a comfy chair.

Friend of a friend once drank a glass that was intended for over 300 people. He tripped for some 3 weeks to a month, and now he's a little "mushy headed" but still quite functional with no need for any stay in a mental institution.

It's not about how much you do. It's about how you do it.

I personally don't believe there's a ceiling. What's beyond ego death? I dunno. I can't fathom it because my ego is currently intact. First ramp up to ego death, then realize that ego death is the beginning of the next ramp to the next fundamental shift, then follow that ramp to the top, etc etc and so on and so forth.

Some people have stories about someone who took 50 hits and was ruined. Some people have stories about someone who's taken multiple thumbprint hits over their life and is still fully functional (if a little strange compared to normal people, not inherently a bad thing).

I think it's called just "death."  It happened once to this guy's cousin's sister's dog groomer's mailman.  He got ahold of some really bad acid -- I heard it was hydrofluoric, but it might've been sulfuric -- and then he spent hours believing he was melting away from the inside.  Turns out it was because he actually was melting away from the inside.  Now he just lies around on the floor all day.  Nobody wants to mop.


(Hey, it makes as much sense as most of the other urban legends in this thread...)

There is big thread over at the shroomery. www.shroomery.org, entitled "The Thumbprint" where a couple people on there, one chinacat72 in particular, sort of describe very high dose LSD experiences. I would imagine any question one could have about high dose LSD trips should be answered in that thread.

So true.

the metabolism of LSD is pretty rough, drinking 300 hits I doubt you'd be tripping for three weeks, a hell of a journey im sure, probably a good 20 hour trip, and a few days of 'ughh, my brain'
