Dr. Walt Miner further explains how unique and powerful LSD drug is and says that the most unique thing about LSD is effective dose of the material. Miner states that effective dose for LSD can range from 0.5 micrcograms to 1.5 micrograms per kilogram of body weight.To explain the effective dosage of LSD, he displays a piece of wax paper where a mark is made with a pen. A penny is placed beside that mark to compare the two sizes. Dr. Miner informs that the ink mark weighs some micrograms. Dr. Miner takes one drop of human blood from a tube and says that this one drop contains 330 million cells and in comparison to that the weight of LSD to produce its effect is equal to the weight of two blood cells.
