Sporadic LSD use will never cause chronic, permanent liver damage.

Are you serious?

I would say if he took Tylenol in his life he would be more likely to get liver damage from that. I can't even find one study showing ANY relationship between liver damage and LSD.

LSD is also supposedly the most powerful migraine cure ever discovered. A single (sub-psychedelic) dose was found to cure some individuals for MONTHS.

Tylenol won't do that for you.

LSA/LSD has been shown quite effective at breaking up cluster headaches at "below threshhold doses"

(lsa is effectively quite similar at about a 1/10th the potency)

I never knew that. Thanks!

Given that LSD is such a powerful hallucinogen, the usual amounts ingested don't even show up as far as your liver is concerned.

None whatsoever. I think this myth might originate with the fact that some mushrooms deliver results similar to LSD, but others can be seriously poisonous.

Mushrooms are qualitatively MUCH different than LSD. But they are in the same family: tryptamines.

No relationship.
