An excerpt from the highest ever recorded dosage of LSD.

"Eight individuals who accidentally consumed a very high dose of LSD intranasally (mistaking it for cocaine) had plasma levels of 1000–7000 μg per 100mL blood plasma and suffered from comatose states, hyperthermia, vomiting, light gastric bleeding, and respiratory problems. However, all survived with hospital treatment and without residual effects."

In short, even on the rare occasion when people have taken 1000x what they should, they didn't die.
