Accidental Dose Makes Good – The Weird Side of the Internet

Accidental Dose Makes Good – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny.

One of the things about living in the roaring ‘20s is that recreational drugs are getting a close look. Recreational cannabis is legal in many states, and hallucinogens like psilocybin are being studies for their affects on depression and other psychiatric disorders. But hallucinogens are famous for being unpredictable. They scare the hell out of some people, in particular because thse are drugs that have different effects based on your state of mind when you take them. Which is a trip, pun intended.

Imagine popping LSD right before getting into it with some road rage champ? Blow your mood when you’re doing something that depends on your good mood? Nuts. But imagine taking 550 doses of LSD instead?

For CB, a pseudonymous woman from points nowhere disclosed, 550 doses is what she took. It was accident, of course. She thought it was a line of coke. Which is hilarious if you think about it. I’m think that would happen if someone putt 550 doses in their shirt and got caught in the rain, but nope. She thought it was coke.

First thing you need to know; she survived. In fact, her trip only lasted 24 hours. And surprisingly, she was able to hold a conversation within 10 hours. Before that it was all throwing up and blacking out.

And the coolest thing about this is what happened after. See, she had Lyme disease, and had agonizing pain in her legs and ankles that she had to take morphine to treat. And after hyperdosing, the pain went away. It didn’t stay away, but she was able to get off morphine by microdosing LSD every three days. She was also able to quit the LSD.

We’re a family friendly media outlet, so the official word is that if you do 550 doses, you will end up naked somewhere that you don’t want to be naked.
