Niacin also has another function: it's an
antidote to
LSD intoxication (although who would call it "poisoning" is beyond me). Three grams, taken with water, will bring the most stoned tripper down in a manner
swift, painless, and merciful.
Or so the ad copy says. What happened to me was that the flush (for which I was prepared) spread all over me like a prairie fire, and it took several forevers and well into the dark era of the Universe (that is, about three-quarters of an hour) before I started feeling right again. Still, a useful thing to know.
I'd like to hear from someone who's used it as an antipsychotic. It's been said to work...
