There is a cheap (prescription) drug called ergotamine that tickles brain receptors similar to those affected by LSD.

There are also the triptan class of drugs such as Relpax. The problem is you have to go to a doctor to get a prescription. Doctor visits are expensive (relative to my income for most of my life) unless you have access to a school clinic or you have insurance. Migraine medicines should be OTC. The side effects don't warrant limited access.
