i spent a couple hours talking to a guy who had supposedly done approximately 60 mg print back in the day.

one component i didn't see in this blog post was what he described as "A PIERCING WHITE LIGHT". :)

I know of a fair number of people in the "700 club" (700mg single dose, liquid, instilled onto tongue); seem to have lived productive lives to date.

What's two orders of magnitude more? :)

That is nothing compared to the quantities described in the article, both in measurement and experience (as mentioned). This is assuming you meant to type micrograms, as no one would have a club for 700 mg as no one would bother to measure at that dose, considering it is 7,000x the normal dose.

700mcg you mean?

Yes, I meant 700 micrograms :(

60mg seems like it would kill someone.

Apparently Aldous Huxley's wife injected him with a lethal dose of LSD -- heroic-dosed directly into this

His dose was 100 micrograms IM. That's nowhere near lethal for an oral dose.

She actually gave him two 100μg intramuscular doses on his deathbed, spaced several hours apart.

I wonder if Steve Jobs went out the same way. The quotes of his final moments sound like he was tripping off _something_

Death seems like a pretty mind-blowing trip without any drugs required.

suffice it to say that the guy seemed to permanently have a nervous sweat going on and he did this over 5 years prior to when i spoke to him.

per the article, it is not uncommon for "serious" distributors to do this for whatever reason.
