Logically these scientists could never know that an elephant's central nervous system isn't so different from that of a human... It happened in 1962! It's mainly about 5-HT2A antagonism in the Locus Coeruleus and the Raphe Nuclei.

I don't think these people wanted the elephant to die. They just don't know what dose use (like some friends of mine). Their fault was not follow the first rule: If you're gonna do it, start a low dosages.

And, of course, there is the zero rule: never get so intoxicated that you are like to forget all other rules...

The Elephant (thanks to exotic for the tip!)

Elephants on acid

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happens if you give an elephant LSD? Researchers solved this mystery on Friday 3 August 1962, when Warren Thomas, director of Lincoln Park Zoo in Oklahoma City, fired a cartridge-syringe containing 297 milligrams of LSD into the rump of Tusko the elephant. With Thomas were two colleagues from the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Louis Jolyon West and Chester M. Pierce.

The dose was about 3000 times what a human would typically take. Thomas, West and Pierce figured that if they were going to give an elephant LSD they'd better not give it too little. They later explained that the experiment was designed to find out if LSD would induce musth in an elephant - musth being a kind of temporary madness male elephants sometimes experience during which they become highly aggressive and secrete a sticky fluid from their temporal glands. One may also suspect a small element of ghoulish curiosity was involved.

Whatever the reason for the experiment, it almost immediately went awry. Tusko reacted as if he had been shot by a gun. He trumpeted around his pen for a few minutes and then keeled over. Horrified, the researchers tried to revive him with a variety of antipsychotics, but about an hour later he was dead. In an article published four months after the event (Science, vol 138, p 1100), the three scientists sheepishly concluded: "It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD."

The experiment instantly made headlines. Faced with a public relations disaster, the scientists protested their innocence. They had not anticipated the elephant would die, they insisted. In their experience, LSD was a powerful hallucinogen but rarely fatal. West and Pierce helpfully noted that they themselves had previously taken the drug.

Thomas tried to find a silver lining. They had learned that LSD can be lethal to elephants. So perhaps, he mused, the drug could be used to destroy herds in countries where they are a problem. For some reason, his suggestion has never found any takers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

What I find suprising is that the poor demented elephant died. Now the dose was about 3 000 times stronger then the average human dose, so maybe the cause of death was heart failure, over heated - stress induced heart attack. .. I've always learned that LSD can not kill you. This surly changed that view. -BUT 297 milligrams, thats insane!! Those retard scientists could have started out smaller.. jesus. And the artical doesnt say what caused the death.. In this case, sciense failed terribly. 3000 the dose. IDIOTS!













EDIT: More information http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_history4.shtml

NOTE. No humans (recorded) have died because of a large dose of lsd..so why did the elephant die? Maybe it reached instant enlightment and was forced to die because there was nothing on earth for it enymore. a direct touch by God.
