I don’t think I’ve ever tripped for anything less than 48 hours so there’s a large component of exhaustion, both physical and mental, in my recovery period. But What I’m referring to as the hangover is the re-cycling your body goes through before you can trip to full efficiency again.
You can take a bit o’ hair of the dog, but it’s just putting you further in the hole.
Man, the studies I reviewed were over a decade ago. I can’t even remember the specific names of the regions of the brain that produce neuro-chemicals under the influence of LSD, which then go on to continue to produce those chemicals long after use, promoting events like freebies or flashbacks or whatever you want to call them. If I remember properly, the more LSD you take, the more sites in your brain which produce the chemistry underlying hallucinations you will have, effectively, for as long as that tissue exists. I’d have to do some real research to dig this hearsay up though.
I should add, this only constitutes damage if you believe creating little trip-factories in your brain is a bad thing.
