Excerpts from article:
...Drug overdoses can be life threatening, but for two women who accidentally took massive hits of LSD the experience was life changing -- and in a good way.
...First manufactured in Switzerland in 1938 as a potential treatment for bleeding disorders, LSD's (scientific name Lysergic acid diethylamid) subsequent popularity as a recreational drug saw it criminalized in much of the world.
...For the 15-year-old who overdosed on 10 times the normal LSD dose at the Summer Solstice party in June 2000, known as AV, the experience led to a dramatic change in her mental health.
...While LSD has long been used for its mend-bending effects, the drug has also been used to treat mental health problems.
...People with negative reactions can have difficulty concentrating, dizziness, lack of appetite, dry mouth, nausea and/or imbalance for up to 10 to 14 hours after taking LSD; headaches and exhaustion can last up to 72 hours.
