Overdosing on psilocybin?

I'm reading an article about the legendary Brotherhood of Eternal Love and it mentions one of it's members, a dude by the name of John Griggs, dies of a psilocybin overdose. I've never heard of this. I didn't know it was possible. Does anyone know any details about this death or does it discuss any of it in that book about the hippie mafia?
BTW - here's the article. The mention was on page 5 towards the bottom.

He extracted pure psiocybin and injected it. I believe is how the story goes.

i didn't know he injected it, all i know is he took way too much and overdosed. how could you not think it was possible? every drug has a lethal dose, even the ones where it's ridiculously high.

OD-ing through eating shrooms i thought was pretty much impossible- as the LD50 is like 22g/kg. So if you are a tiny women weighing 100kg (very tiny) You would have to eat 2.2 kg, like an entire pound.
-Thats just what i heard-prolly falce. I think the values are probalby low.

I knew there was a lethal dose but like LSD, it's way up there and highly unlikely to be reached. The thing that caught my attention was the mention of psilocybin specifically. I could see maybe other contaminants or poisons on the mushroom but not straight psilocybin.
Ya learn something new everyday.
I wonder how he went. Heat attack. Seizure. Must've been a crazy ride before he finally kicked. Christ.

mikeadelic, i hate your avatar.
But it's possible to die from psilocybin, just like anything else. It's just really hard. That guy must have lived for 1000 years in his head before he died though. Probably didn't realize he was dying either.

By the time the convictions came in, Griggs was gone, dead from an overdose of psilocybin in 1969.
I don't believe it. He overdosed on something else.

"Similarly, symptoms of physical overdose are rare, since a lethal dose is estimated at more than 2,000 times the psychoactive dose." I pulled that from http://www.doitnow.org/pages/132.html
Just thinking about that maybe time stopped for him. Maybe he reached a peak so high he felt no time pass and no change.

i think its possible for some of his systems to perhaps be so messed up that they cease to actually work. i know that lsd is non-toxic and any "overdose" which there is only one case was from a respiratory system failure

If anyone here has consumed over an ounce of dried shrooms alone, i'd like to see that.
Because, I don't think you'd come back from that.

The first time I saw his avatar a few months ago I said the EXACT SAME THING prior to my response to him. I really just dont like that avatar to the point where I wonder why he made it his, and whether or not I dont like him because of it.
Its like "If you had to make a face for yourself what would it be". Apparently for him, his face was chosen to be the exploitation of a deformed person acting like a mentally ill and somewhat devious little munchkin.
What does that say about him?
I dont fucking know. He probably thinks its funny.

Plenty of people (relatively speaking) have eaten an ounce. I know some of them personally. You come back. Well, most of you anyways.
