A young man with no prior medical issues had a seizure followed by cardiorespiratory arrest and severe neurological damage after taking a blotter containing 300 µg of LSD. A serum sample taken 3 hours later showed an LSD concentration of 4.0 ng/mL (12.4 nmol/L). No other drugs at significant levels or individual susceptibility factors were found. This suggests that LSD can cause toxic effects in otherwise healthy people.
