Opinions - What do you think the equivilent human dose would be to this cat given LSD?

How much do you think you would need to give a human to disable their nervous system like this?

Swim could be wrong, but swim remembers reading how LSD is physically very safe. Would dosage matter physically? (Obviously psychologically)

Messed up story: a friend of swim's gave his dog acid, it tripped balls, and died the next day...

Well it is physically very safe at normal microgram doses. But as you proceed into milligram doses in humans it can have significant effects on things like heart rate, temperature, respiration. People who have taken MASSIVE miligram doses of LSD have had temperatures as high as 107 F. Heart rate 200 and had to be intubated to breath. But as I say this only happens when one injests a dose well beyond that used for tripping. Much much higher. As can be seen with the cat there are extreme physical consequences to mega-doses. But almost no one has ever died. As far as mentally I read a case of a number of people that took miligram doses of LSD and needed life support to breath. But even they were essentially mentally recovered within a day. The trip did not last forever. I think that once you mentally cross a certain threshold that more does not matter mentally. I mean mentally I will wager that if you took 50 hits it would not mentally be different than 75 or a sheet of 100.

yes, swim would say a good portion of acid-related deaths occurred in result of what the user does during the trip. accidents; false sense of reality etc.

as for the link unfortunately when swim clicks on it, a blank page shows up. no cat.

The video is Disturbing.Being dosed without consent human or animal is messed up.

swim is not diehard in animal activism but fully agrees with eastwood...swim is glad she didnt see the video.

I agree.

It was still funny though.

I, too, agree. Anyone who doses their pet puddy-tat or ol' rover - whether a scientist or some stupid kid - should be thrown to the Lions. I'd say Wolves, but Wolves get enough bad press and they don't attack people. Unless they have rabies.

Swim has been dosed with a VERY whopping high dose of LSD before he was set to go to work... swims old room-ape was a very annoying son of a baboon who thought dosing people with 5-7 hits of high quality liquid was funny. Nevertheless swim almost lost his job by calling in sick before his work's friday night rush.

Dosing Felix is very very sad... Swim loves his pet cat and couldn't imagine slipping him (his name is Lukey) a dose. Swim also has his problems with mass produced lab-mice put to death, but that poor puddy tat was probably not the same ever again.

Swibf doubts the nervous system was disables, more likely a combination of intense fear and disorientation. Cats are pussies from what he remembers, don't deal too well with stressful situations.

That's horrible. I'm sure that by 1957, scientists had already had an idea of what LSD does to people, so what do they gain from testing it on a cat? Especially when they dose it so high it can't even walk anymore. It's like they were trying to see how much they could fuck up that cat, not research LSD.

Well they did other experiments too. In one they decided to give an elephant an extreme dose. Now get this. The ppppppurpose of the dose was to see if they could induce a "mateing frenzy: in the elephant. Apparently elephants do this frenzy naturally in the wild. So WTF? Why would it even cross their minds to make an elephant go sexually wild? What they were ppppprobably doing in the cat video was testing LSD at different dosages on cats from small doses to lethal doses. But in any case in the example of the elephant the elephant went into all kinds of neurological signs and died quickly. I think they might have tried to counter the LSD with something but it did not work...

no respect for animals. it really gets to me. if you watch the video carefully. in the beginning there is no marks on the floor of the container then towards the end of the video there is dark stuff on the floor. it looks like the cat probably had some kind of brain seizure or something possibly bleeding from somewhere. i do wish upon these people what's due back to them from acts like this.

as for the question, probably a ampule of lsd 25 liquid aught to get some thing shaking around in ones system.
