It depends on how you’re doing it, (and how it was stored, because the molecule is pretty fragile and breaks down easily) but typically a single hit would be in the ballpark of 90-110 micrograms. So 500x would be about 5 grams. Which is a truly astronomical amount of LSD. Not the highest ever recorded, (that honor goes to a couple of idiots who thought it was cocaine and snorted it), but still a mind-meltingly high amount.

That sounds like a sure fire way to obtain ego death.

Is there more information on these accidental mind travelers?

  I went looking and found this:
  
  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1129381/?page=2
  
  Eight patients were seen within 15 minutes of intranasal self-administration of large amounts of pure D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) tartrate powder. Emesis and collapse occurred along with signs of sympathetic overactivity, hyperthermia, coma and respiratory arrest. Mild generalized bleeding occurred in several patients and evidence of platelet dysfunction was present in all. Serum and gastric concentrations of LSD tartrate ranged from 2.1 to 26 nanograms per ml and 1,000 to 7,000 μg per 100 ml, respectively. With supportive care, all patients recovered. Massive LSD overdose in man is life-threatening and produces striking and distinctive manifestations.

Might want to check your math there. 500 x 90-110 millionths of a gram is not 5 grams.

  Hah, yup. In my head, I stupidly went “Milli is 10^-3 so micro is 10^-4.
