This is an excerpt from a documentary covering the phenomenon known as "cluster headaches", the pain of which is said to be worse than natural childbirth or amputation without anesthetics. In short, the worst pain known to man.
The guy's name in this video is "Chuck". He reportedly suffers from a heart condition with makes him unable to take most abortive drugs, so the only way he can attempt to stop the attacks is by breathing pure oxygen. By the looks of this video, it doesn't help much.
This documentary was made by a group advocating the use of such drugs as LSD and psylocibin (found in shrooms), which have reportedly had great effect in aborting "cluster cycles"

I was actually diagnosed as suffering from Cluster headaches at a pain clinic in a local hospital about 10 years ago, then for years afterwords I would say to people that I suffered from Migraine as I thought most ppl have heard of migraine+I do get them now+then. I was given O2 the last time I had 8 weeks of continual Custer headaches, the worst ever in my life. They truly did my head in, + I would try anything for relief, cold water on the side of the head was quite good.
I get them too. They hurt sooo bad. I would do absolutely anything to stop them. The worst is when they wake me up at night. Nothing helps, and I just have to ride them out. It sucks!
My husband suffers from these also. The oxygen at 12-15 litres /min for up to 20 minutes does help most times, but not always. He has had them last for 18 hours before. He has started using my sumatriptan, and it has definitely helped. His clusters start almost the exact same day in August and stop at the same time in March of each year. This year they are the worst they have ever been. They are occurring 10 -15 times per day. He has just started taking sumatriptan and it has helped.
I looked up Salvia on line here. It is illegal in our state. UGGHHHHH. They need to do some research and find a way to legalize it for medicial use for cluster headache!
I also experience Cluster attacks, watching this video brings tears to my eyes because it reminds me of me to the exact. I also have an Oxygen regiment, but it doesn't work unless I catch the attack in the beginning. But what I've discovered was IMITREX statdose injections. Once injected the attack is cut short. But I am extremely tired. As long as the headache is gone, I'd rather be tired. This is the EXTREME of headaches.
LSD is absolutely harmless to your body. It can be harmful to your mental health though, but that varies from person to person, as with any other psychedelic substance. However, if you're suffering from cluster headaches, said to be the most extreme pain the world, I'm pretty sure you would try ANYTHING to cure yourself.

You can buy some over the internet but you'll probably have shipping issues since it's transporting it in a state where it's illegal.
