I've *heard* that you can't die of an OD on acid, only go bring on latent psychological problems, like schizophrenia. Not sure if it's true at all.

Any amount that you personally can't handle.
If you meant lethal OD, well, never happened and it ain't gonna happen soon

I just did a quick search and the LD 50 of LSD seems to be 30-45mg/kg. I weigh 100kg so that 3000-4500mg of LSD to kill me 50% of the time.

a select group of people eat plain acid crystal, enough for many, many doses. I think it's fair to say LSD is physically very safe.

LSD is definitely one of the safest drugs known to man. It takes a dose several hundred thousand or even million times that of an average dose to put you in any physical danger.

The only real danger is someone telling you what you're taking is acid when it's not-rat poison, and the like. While you run this risk with any other drug, I've heard that it's a recurring problem in the LSD market, moreso than other drugs. Can anyone here comfirm that?

Well, it would be very easy to get away with selling bunk hits, because it is easy to get ahold of blotter paper and line it yourself, but to lace it with anything lethal is just straight up evil. It has never happened around here, but I have seen some hits that smelled like Raid bug killer. Fucking douche bags!

Not really true. The truth is that COMPARED to other drugs it is among the LEAST TOXIC to the body itself. The mind is a different story.

Yes, I suppose you're right.
But certainly you would agree that physically it's one of the safest drugs known to man?

Well, the thing is...LSD is psychedelic (ie mind-manifesting / a substance that primarily effects the human mind). Because its primary impact is psychedelic and not physical, I would hold off from saying anything beneficial about toxicity levels in the body.
Here's why: People have rough times in their mind while on this substance. Most people don't have rough times, but yet some do. So we really need to keep it in the context of "when is it too much on the mind?", not the body.

Certainly, but I would think there is a distinction to be made between psychological impact, and physiological impact. All psychedelics have the capability to bring latent psychological disorders to the surface, but they still don't affect the physical body. For instance you won't suddenly be walking down the street and have your arm fall off.
Granted though, it certainly would not be ideal end up like Syd Barrett or in some mental institution for the rest of your days.

Some kid I went to school with went to a rave and bought an vile of LSD. The vile broke in his pocket and absorbed into his skin while he was dancing. Last I heard was that he was in the psyche ward convinced that he was a glass of orange juice. Wouldn't even sleep laying down because he was scared of spilling. Any time nurses came with a pen he started screaming because he thought it was a straw and the nurse was going to drink him.... so yeah. I'm not sure of the complete truth to these details, but I know I still see trails and have flashbacks from one night when I took way too much, so I don't completely doubt this. Be safe.

Glass of orange juice? Come on man, someone is lying to you. That's one of the most wide spared urban legend about LSD there is. Everyone has a afoaf that took too much acid and thought they where a glass of orange juice. It's like the UL about some kids eating acid and staring into the sun.

I have heard that glass of OJ story myself. I am gonna have to say that's an urban legend. But my neighbor did LSD heavily when he was in SF long time ago and he says he sees weird patterns all the time in shadows and the grain of wood also he hears stuff all the time now and that it was caused by him abusing LSD. Just what he tells me, may be that he wants a to scare a 19 year old away from drugs.

DUDE! What are you talking about? Like, one of my friends totally took a couple grams of 'cid powder and stared at the sun and went completely blind.

HPPD can happen to some people, it varies in degree, but it usually isn't really anything that will be an impediment. All psychedelics can cause this.
