A cat on acid

Poor cat. And I shudder to think about what happened with the humans they no doubt experimented on at some point after they tried it out on the 'lil feline.

Why on earth would they have gas chambers? Are there seriously dummies out there giving them animals thinking they're being sent to a "PETA preserve" or something? I can imagine a small part of it would be to put hopelessly crippled animals they have taken in (from labs, ect.) out of their misery, but there can't be that many.

Well, you know, people do actually drop acid voluntarily.

Although I do have a video somewhere on my computer of tests conducted a number of years ago where they gave a group of soldiers acid and sent them out on a practice mission to see what would happen.

There were also some tests done on spiders to see how different drugs would affect their ability to spin webs, I'll see if I can find that too.
Edit: Here it is.

At least our tax dollars are funding entertaining research rather than useful research.

I remember reading somewhere that acid was tested on soldiers in Vietnam. That would have to be the most horrible experience ever.
That caffeine web looks pretty crappy. I'm drinking a pot of coffee right now studying for finals. I'm sure the end result of this will be something like that spider web.

I did get a smile out of the expression on that cats face when he picked it up.

It was a total "woah man, look at the colors" look.

Lethal (toxic) doses of LSD are conservatively several tens of thousands of times as much as a normal dose, making it (in the toxic sense) one of the safest drugs known. See section on Pharmacology for description of bodily side-effects.

The LD50 for psilocybin (active ingredient in mushrooms) is 275 mg/kg i.v. in mice. Of course, it would take lots more p.o. to kill someone.

The reported LD50 values for LSD are 46, 16.5, 0.3 mg/kg I.V. for mice, rats, and rabbits, respectively. Again, it's hard to accurately translate these numbers to oral values.

Note that an average human dose is 0.001 mg/kg, ie, 1 microgram/kg, ie, 1 part per billion by weight.

It looked like a hovercraft in that box.

IRC, cats don't react to LSD the way humans do, and they don't react as much.
I remember seeing a show years ago about a drug lab that was discovered because the neighbors were tripping out inexplicably. Apparently, their cat had snuck into the drug lab, drank a bunch of liquid LSD, and then passed it to its owners through its pores. I remember it being said that the cat was fine, even though it had ingested enough LSD to trip out many people.

Pls point me in the vacinity of these LSD-laced kittens so I can pick a few up.

Poor Kitty. Does PETA know about this yet? Im a vegetarian and pro-animal and im against maltreatment of animal.
