Back in the day, the typical decent dose was ~250 micrograms. 4000 hits
per gram was the gold standard. But of course, as a mid-level dealer,
you never got crystalline LSD. You got a solution in absolute ethanol,
in sealed glass break-neck ampules.

So basically, I bought a quarter gram, and fucked up diluting the stuff,
before making my test samples. So instead of 250 micrograms, I took a
sample that nominally contained ~5 milligrams, or 20 doses. But
fortunately, I corrected the error before anyone else tried it :)

My typical dose was 500-1000 micrograms, so this was only 5-10 times
normal. And my tolerance was probably pretty high, as well.
