- 10–20× smaller active dose than LSD
⚠Key risks
- THE DEATH CLUSTER: 2012–2016 overdose deaths across US/EU/Russia — vasoconstriction so severe it caused strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure
- Sold as LSD: users taking '2 tabs' ingest 20+ lethal-equivalent doses
- Bitter/metallic taste + mouth numbing = SPIT IT OUT (LSD is tasteless)
- Seizures, severe aggression, hyperthermia
- Survives being swallowed less than LSD — the harm-reduction lore that 'if you swallow it you're safe' is unreliable
