Haven’t heard about the cop and the mega-LSD dose. How did that happen?
I was reading just recently about micro-doses of LSD being used to treat depression. I can see where that might have some possibilities, as does some uses of cannabis in legitimate medical treatment.
I saw that story about the officer on Nat Geo Channel show Drugs Inc.
I’m pretty sure that episode covered several hallucinogen drugs, and his exposure occurred at a raid on a LSD lab very early on in that drug’s life.
I can’t recall the exact details, but he either didn’t have gloves on, or took them off, or took his mask off, something like this, and the LSD was saturating the air, and was instantly absorbed into his skin.
He was apparently so close to death even after having been treated with large amounts of valium to counteract, and although he did survive, he was never the same again, and was not able to continue with law enforcement.
LSD isn’t toxic. It has plenty of dangerous psychological risks but no physiological effects that could kill you.
It might scare you to death but that’s not the same thing as being toxic.
