Answer 2

No one has ever died from LSD toxicity.

It is certainly possible to have a fatal accident while hallucinating. But that is why the number 1 rule for using hallucinogens is, "Have at least one sober person around to keep you safe."

Stories about people accidentally killing themselves on LSD are much more myth than fact.

You have probably heard the urban legend about the kid who took too much acid the first time, and spent the rest of his life in a mental institution, thinking he was a glass of Orange Juice and terrified that he would spill himself? Or the stories about people staring into the sun until they went blind, because they were tripping on acid and didn't know any better? Or the story about the babysitter who roasted the baby in the oven, because she was high on LSD and thought the baby was a roast beef?

Or the stories about people on acid thinking that 15th-story windows are doors, and walking out to their death. Most of us have heard these stories. And none of them are true. The true story is that there was a girl living in West Hollywood, in the late 1960s (her name was Diane Linkletter; see the Related Link below "snopes.com - Death of Diane Linkletter"), who jumped out her window and killed herself on October 4, 1969.

The family could not accept that it was a suicide, so, they started making up stories about her being on LSD. They claimed that she would never have killed herself on purpose, that it had to be the LSD she was taking. Problem is, there was never any evidence that she was even taking LSD!! Clearly, the family was misguided by their grief and their disbelief that their beloved daughter/sister would leave them on purpose.

From this one incident came the barrage of claims that "LSD is a deadly dangerous drug" and that it causes "all kinds of fatal accidents."

Again, LSD can indeed be dangerous. But when examining the dangers, it is important to separate myth from actual fact.

Answer 3

Two of the long-term effects of acid (LSD) are types of hallucinations, known as HPPD (hallucinogen persisting perception disorder) and psychosis. HPPD causes repeated flashbacks to prior events, while psychosis disorders often effect behavioral changes or violent mood swings .These are the symptoms associated with long-term LSD use, however, the causes of these symptoms are not known. LSD can affect your ability to think and reason, and can bring cause psychosis, an inability to think rationally and the inability to communicate with other people.Users of LSD may have psychological problems that severely affect their behavior. These include mood swings, violent behavior and paranoia. These effects can be seen with a single use of LSD, and may last for years.
