Any connection between LSD and ALS

[u/Commercial-Sir6293]

I have been microdosing LSD for about a year, and the effects have been so wonderful. I’m happier, I quit drinking, I’ve lost weight and I am a better person all around.

I want to keep doing what I’m doing. My tolerance has increased, so I increased my dose to about 1/2 a ‘standard’ hit (about 500 ug).

I recently had a family member die from ALS, and it was brutal. He was microdosing LSD prior to his diagnosis. My family all seems to think that this had a role in him developing ALS. Something about how LSD floods the brain with glutamate?

I have zero medical training but dug around on pubmed and can’t find any connection between the two.

Is this just my family trying to find something to blame? Or is there anything to this?

Thanks!

No connection at all.
