    That sounds like a sure fire way to obtain ego death.

    Is there more information on these accidental mind travelers?

      I went looking and found this:

      https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1129381/?page=2

      Eight patients were seen within 15 minutes of intranasal self-administration of large amounts of pure D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) tartrate powder. Emesis and collapse occurred along with signs of sympathetic overactivity, hyperthermia, coma and respiratory arrest. Mild generalized bleeding occurred in several patients and evidence of platelet dysfunction was present in all. Serum and gastric concentrations of LSD tartrate ranged from 2.1 to 26 nanograms per ml and 1,000 to 7,000 μg per 100 ml, respectively. With supportive care, all patients recovered. Massive LSD overdose in man is life-threatening and produces striking and distinctive manifestations.

      Heh, and also this:

      https://www.wbaltv.com/article/woman-took-550-times-the-usual-dose-of-lsd-with-surprisingly-positive-consequences/31154339

      A 46-year-old woman snorted a staggering 550 times the normal recreational dose of LSD and not only survived, but found that the foot pain she had suffered from since her 20s was dramatically reduced.

      This Frog & Toad meme is based on a true story, apparently.
