hmm, I guess there aren't any sources to say which is true. Timothy Leary's autobiography has a pretty decent section about his first dose and it seems to be a dose of quite larger than 250 mics but ol' timoteo could have been exaggerating a bit. That's too bad, that was one of my favorite parts of the book, and kind of legendary details about his life imo. I read his autobiography at the ripe age of 16 or so, so I looked up to him a lot even though a lot of people consider him a fraud of sorts 8)
edit: and as for how this post has anything to do with the actual OP's post...
I'd like to meet someone who's taken a huge dose of LSD like over 10mg (a sheet theoretically) and just see the way they talk about it haha
I guess you could say i'm 'weird'

insulfated none the less
This is what Hollingshead himself said in his autobiography:
There had been no difficulty obtaining even one gram of LSD—I simply asked an English doctor friend of mine to write the order on a sheet of New York hospital letterhead saying that I needed this ergot-derivative as a 'control' drug for a series of bone-marrow experiments.
Eagerly I unwrapped the package. The acid was in a small dark jar marked 'Lot Number H-00047', and in appearance looked a bit like malted milk powder. My problem was how to convert the loose powder into a more manageable form. One gram would make 5000 individual doses and I was obviously going to need to measure it out in some way. I decided to randomise it by mixing it into a stiff paste made from icing sugar.
I cleared the kitchen table and set to work. First I poured some distilled water into a bowl, and then mixed in the LSD. When all the acid had dissolved I added confectioner's sugar until the mixture was a thick paste. I then transferred my 'divine confection', spoon by laborious spoon, into a sixteen-ounce mayonnaise jar, and, by what magical alchemic process, the stuff measured exactly 5000 spoonfuls ! In other words, one teaspoon of the stuff ought to contain 200 gamma (millionths of a gram), which would be sufficient for an eight-to ten-hour session, and a pretty intense one at that.
