Editing 5-MeO-AMT (section)

==Dangers==
If misrepresented as LSD, 5-MeO-AMT can be extremely dangerous; users may take a number of "hits" of 5-MeO-AMT, assuming that it is LSD. Unlike LSD, which is very safe in overdose, 5-MeO-AMT can be very harmful or fatal. Particularly sensitive individuals can experience symptoms of overdose at dosages in the normal (for most users) range — as low as 20&nbsp;mg. This has led to at least a few hospitalizations and possibly more than one death.<ref>{{cite web |title=Reported LSD-Related death was not LSD |url=http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_media2.shtml |work = Erowid Vault |date=July 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=5-MeO-AMT Hospitalizations & Possible Deaths |url=http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/5meo_amt/5meo_amt_info1.shtml |work = Erowid Vault |date=January 2007}}</ref> It is likely that the overdose potential of the compound is due to its [[sympathomimetic]] effects, as the side effects noted in overdose cases include [[cardiac arrhythmia]] and [[seizure]]. It also seems that oral consumption is safer than [[Insufflation (medicine)|insufflation]].{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}}
