You can overdose on LSD. I dunno about other hallucinogens, but you can do enough LSD you just never really come back properly. Doing a lot regularly over a long period also seems to have dome lasting effects. Even after only doing it once years ago, I still see strange waves sometimes when I see ripples in water or the wake from boats. At the end of it, I was on the beach staring at the waves and the rippled the same way. I never used to see this in water before that.

Are you entirely sure? I've experienced a small amount of this myself, but its so small, I'm really not sure if it wasn't there all along (and I wasn't looking for it)

  Well, even if it's something that was there that I.never noticed before, it's changed my perception at least which would.be some sort of lasting effect. Personally, I liked acid, it was far more pleasant than any other hallucinogen i've done and has the added bonus of not making you feel sick(if it's pure).

This can be true of any experience. You probably did experience similar distortions of visual perception previously, you just didn't associate them with an LSD experience and thus they casually passed from memory un-noted. Waves and ripples in water are certainly not so abnormal. Also overdose is too strong a word, and has a different connotation here than elsewhere. One can take 100 micrograms and have a wonderful experience, or one can take 100 micrograms and see the devil and never be the same. The mind is the difference maker, not the quantity of the drug. People have taken extremely large doses and not perished (one story of people mistakenly snorting crystals thinking it was cocaine comes to mind).

  You're right, overdose is the wrong word. I was thinking of a friend of my dad's who ended up doing a large bag full of LSD rather than get caught by the cops and ended up in a psych ward permanently, or some of the older hippies I know who spent several years doing lsd every day who do tend to have some issues formulating ideas coherently at times.
