Harm reduction books/infosheets from late 1980s and early 90s all warned that LSD loses its effect with short term repeated use, although back then good quality acid was a rare treat making binge use relatively uncommon.
Although LSD is relatively non toxic it was still a harm reduction issue as a user might decide to subsequently stash the “weak/bunk” acid, then take it again a few weeks later when their tolerance has worn off; and end up tripping much harder than they expected.
Even then there were warnings about NPS types substances that were occasionally sold as LSD but had much longer effects and could be risky in overdose – DOM (sometimes known as STP) was one of them, although I (thankfully) never encountered it).
LSD is almost as non-toxic as cannabis. I know of no deaths coming from an LSD overdose, rthere is one anecdotal report of a man dying after injecting 3 grams of crystal in the mistaken belief it was amphetamine, but that’s 30,000 doses there and very very very few people will ever see that much crystal LSD in their lives, most people will never even see a grain of crystal.
One compound sold as LSD that were worryingly neurotoxic were the NBOMes and several deaths were attributed to those compound. One big benefit of buying acid on blotters is that (NBOMes aside) there are very few compounds that you could fit a dengerous amount of onto a single square of blotting paper. POSSIBLY, members of the DOx family could be placed on blotters but you’d be pushing it. The most compound I’ve seen available for sale on blotters was 3mg/blotter and that was 5-MeO-aMT.
