20mg is an awful high dose. The usual dosage is between 75-1000 micrograms. 1000 still being awful high. (and 20 milligrams, is a _lot_ more than that!) Won

He's talking about a dose of psilocybin not lsd.

That dose is referring to psilocybin, I believe. 20,000µg would be a psychosis-inducing dose of LSD.

  Ah, thanks. Mis-read that part of the article.

  Every psychedelic I've taken has had an upper-bound beyond which increasing dose didn't really do much. Granted I've never taken astronomical doses of LSD but a "heroic dose" of psilocybin will take you places a "heroic dose" of LSD can't.

    I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't heard of anyone eating a sheet of acid who wasn't at least a little messed up afterwards.
