It's strange that everyone is going one about this DSMO/LSD thing.
LSD affect everyone differently, takes a variable amount of time to
take affect, and is not necessarily something you want to use on a
person who is holding a gun.
Ask any cop you want, and he's gonna tell you that someone on LSD
is VERY dangerous. Their grip on reality is completely twisted. If
their having a bad trip they're likely to shoot anything that moves!
Actually, it's anything that they PERCIEVE as moving! Including
themselves.

Very unpredictable stuff.

If you want someone out of it, try using a DSMO/HYPER combination
instead. Hyper is some seriously nasty stuff. In addition to a base
of serious stun dammage, you suffer a +1 mod _TO ALL ACTIONS_ while
it's in your system. You also suffer a +4 mod to all actions that
require concentration, INCLUDING SPELLCASTING! Finally, catch this:

ShadowTech, pg. 98

...any damage taken (whether physical or mental) will result in
additional dammage because of sensory overload. This additional
damage is applied to the character's Mental Condition Monitor and
is calculated by halving the actual inflicted damage, rounding up.

Yes, this means that anytime you get hit, you have to completely
resist the damage or you take *more* damage. The extra mental
damage is applied after you resisted dammage. You can't try to
resist this damage as well.

How long does this stuff stay in your system? 60 minutes. Combat
is three seconds per turn. 1200 combat turns to burn this stuff out.
YUK! Getting hit with this stuff in the middle of a physical entry
is NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!

Every success you get on your resistance test will reduce the
amount of time it's in your system by five minutes. Only body dice
are counted for reducing this time. That means you need 12 successes
_from your body dice alone_ to completely avoid the affects of this
stuff. Unless you are a dragon, you aren't going to make it.

This stuf is serious bad juju. Don't get hit with it.
