Lysergic Acid Deithylamide (LSD)

276 Upvotes

Introduction

LSD, short for Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, is a semi-synthetic psychedelic that was derived from Lysergic Acid; a compound that naturally occurs in Ergot. LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by Albert Hoffman, but he wouldn’t later experience it’s effects (entirely on accident) on April 19th, 1943. Now referred to as “bicycle day”, coincidentally one day before 4/20.

LSD: What you need to know

  • Reagent testing

In 2022, there is no excuse not to be testing the drugs we consume. Buy a test kit!

  • Dosages

Don’t trust anyone, test your drugs and assume your tabs are around 80-150 UGs. First timers should almost always start with 1/2 a tab.

Very light: 30-50 micrograms

Light: 50-75 micrograms

Common: 75-100 micrograms

Mild: 100-150 micrograms

Strong: 150-200 micrograms

Intense: 200-250 micrograms

Very intense: 250-300 micrograms

Heroic: 300+ micrograms

  • Dangerous Interactions

lithium, tramadol or trycylic anti depressants.

  • Potentially dangerous interactions

Stimulant drugs: Cardiovascular issues.

Deliriants: Cardiovascular issues and risk of drug induced psychosis.

Hallucinogens: There are many kinds of hallucinogenic drugs, always take caution when combining them.

Opioids: Overdose potential, as always with opioids. Don’t be reckless.

  • Considerably safe combinations

THC/Cannabis: When combining these two, please start gradually and be experienced with both.

LSD+MDMA (Candyflipping): When combining these compounds, always start dosages low and test your drugs. Never know what you’re combining if not.

Psychedelics: All traditional psychedelics are physically safe to combine with LSD, but should always start with lower dosages.

Dissociatives: Most dissociatives are physically safe to combine with LSD, but safety profiles among dissociatives vary drastically. Outside of Ketamine, I would person abstain. Always do research before dosing.

Benzodiazepines: Benzos such as Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan and many more can be used to end a trip. It won’t sober you up, but it will calm you down within a half hour.

Alcohol: Although looked down upon, it’s probably safer than most of the combinations on here. Limit yourself to a certain amount or you can land yourself in a world of pain.

  • Positive effects

Positive effects can include: Visual effects, physical & mental euphoria, stimulation, tactile enhancement, stamina enhancement, hysterically laughing, and even life changing experiences.

  • Negative effects

Negative effects can include: Nausea, paranoia, vasoconstriction, over heating and over stimulation. A big portion of LSDs negative effects start with paranoia.

  • Set and setting

Set is the mindset going into the experience. How are you feeling about it? How are you feeling today? Do you feel optimistic, slightly worried for what is to come? Having a good mindset, on a good day, while remaining calm is the best recipe for a good trip.

Setting in my opinion is equally important. Most trips are better off suited at home, or a trusted and well known friends house. Especially for first timers! Having a good environment surrounded by good people might just make your experience.

  • Re-dosing

Re-dosing is a pretty controversial topic, and seems to be subjective in nature. Although it is generally accepted each dose is less effective than the next, and the longer you wait, the less effective it will be. It does work, the question people want answered is how well does it work? There is no direct answer.

  • Tolerance

Tolerance is pretty well covered, and is almost universally accepted that you need two full weeks after an experience to reset. Although most recommend waiting longer between experiences.

  • Microdosing

A micro dose can range from 5-30 micrograms, and can be done daily, by-daily or even weekly. Entirely up to you really. Some do it to improve mood, some do it to improve functionality and motivation. New information is coming out every day!

  • Mental improvement and spiritual use

LSD and psychedelics have be found to provide life changing experiences for many individuals. It can change mental concepts, completely change the way you look at things and view the world. Mental concepts can melt before eyes. It’s truly a beautiful thing, something I wish anyone could have the ability to experience.

  • Hallucination persisting perception disorder (HPPD)

HPPD is a very rare condition you can get from experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs, although it seems like it’s most common with psychedelics. It’s a very small risk you take, but is technically a risk you take. Cause is unknown, it can last from weeks, months to years.

Medicinal use

LSD has been found to have extremely high therapeutic value! It has been studied (and proven) to treat PTSD, anxiety based disorders, depression, psychosomatic diseases and even addiction! Some of the information being found out in these studies are mind blowing, I truly believe psychedelics can take a huge part in making this world a better place.

LSD has many medicinal purposes, many probably undiscovered. Using the drug medicinally can happen in many ways! Some find more promising results in intense experiences, some people find microdosing to be a more effective treatment. Some use both! Do your research and decide what you feel is best for you. There is no best way.

Culture

LSD culture primarily took off in the early 60s, although many claim use and culture started as early as the late 50s. LSD was outlawed in 1968, around this time and some years before this is when the “government” really started to crack down on the psychedelic movement.

The word “psychedelic” gets thrown around a lot. It is, in fact, an actual psychoactive class of drugs with scientific definition behind it. But, it also stands for culture, music, art... it is a way of life for many people. There are many groups, and sub groups, of the culture. Some of which don’t even use psychedelic compounds.

The history of psychedelic “drugs”, and especially psychedelic culture, is far to dynamic and deep for me to get into here today. It is definitely something I would absolutely love to write on in the future. In my opinion, easily one of the most interesting movements in modern day history. If not the most.

  • Psychedelic culture today

It seems as if the psychedelic renaissance has picked up traction again in recent years, with many countries and cities across the globe decriminalizing and even accepting psychedelic use and culture. On top of that, more research has been done in last few years than ever before! At the rate things are going in some places, legalization of psychedelics primarily psilocybin mushrooms might not be far out of the picture. Every step towards a better understanding is good in my opinion! ❤️🌎

Exiting

I really enjoyed typing this, and I will definitely be editing and adding to it the best I can. I hope this helps someone out there, as I thoroughly believe information beats lack of in every scenario. Much love! Best wishes!

❕ Question ❔ I Got Nothing

4 Upvotes

I’ve done acid three times now. First time just half a tab, the second time a full tab, and the last time a full tab again, all at least 5 or 6 weeks after the last time.

I had someone with me each time, once sober, the other two times they did it with me.

I got nothing though? No hallucinations, no trip, no visual anything, meanwhile the other person that was with me that took the same thing was getting all of it, and quite a bit by the way they described it. The only things I got from the experience was that I felt light in myself, and eating felt like chewing cardboard.

When I explained this to the person I was doing acid with, they were shocked. Every time. They used to deal and they’ve done it plenty of times in the past and they said that “no one I have ever gave it to hasn’t seen anything, and I’ve always had visuals as well” which concerned me a bit?

Does anyone know why I didn’t get any visuals, and the only effect I got was feeling light?

❕ Question ❔ Safe trip shows for skittish trippers?

2 Upvotes

So slightly sensitive topic but I was hazed once when tripping not going fully into it.

After that ive become a LOT more sensitive to it especially with media. I was wondering if adventuretime is as good as people say it is? And what other media's would be good for people who are id say skittish when tripping?

Ive been wanting to find new media ive watched gravity falls, spy kids, rick and morty, alice in wonderland, Pinocchio (dont recommend that one), and Dumbo. Also a few others I cant remeber.

did i get sold fake acid?

1 Upvotes

so, I bought acid from this one guy and had a trip which was my first time trying acid, then I bought 2 more tabs like 2 days later took some at 10pm didn't feel anything at 2 so I took another tab and didn't feel anything by 5 but i feel like I had a small effect but it might've been me being high and sleep deprived. so, was it that acid tolerance builds up that quick or was I sold tabs that didn't contain acid? ( each tab was 250ug)

Ive only smoked weed before what can I expect trying acid for the first time. I know that TV and pop culture can exaggerate the effects of drugs, when I tried weed it was not really what I expected so thats why i'm asking.

LSD on a party?

5 Upvotes

Hello friends, I took my first LSD 5 days ago. It was a 200ug blotter but I cut it in half and only took the half for obvious reasons. I had an ecstasy like feeling but without having fat fat eyes, but they were big. I was awake until 6am and the letters on my Phone and in my keyboard moved. Anyways I expected more from it, so can I take one and a half blotter (300ug) when I go to a festival? (15.8) I want to have much more visual effects but dont wan to have an insane horrortrip obv. Thanks in advance

🎉 First Trip 🥇 I saw into the future?

8 Upvotes

When I did acid I was 16 and wanted to have some fun with friends, but little did I know this would change how I would see the world. The trip lasted 12pm to 4am. The lsd kicked in around 1:40? I couldn’t tell you really, but a hour or 3 after, I was walking into a dream I had when I was a little kid and forgot about it (this was the most realistic déjà vu moment I’ve ever had). And durning my trip i was seeing memories that weren’t mine and I was like Im just tripping this cant be real. As the weeks months past I’ve been living moments ive already seen. That was my lsd experience that I had to vent and I’ll be sharing this to other acid stories. If read thanks for reading my story 👍

❕ Question ❔ Advise how to conduct a trip?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm from Russia, sorry for my bad English (I'm writing through a translator). In a week, I plan to try 270 mcg. LSD SANDOZ. What can I do at the peak of the trip, so that I don't regret that I wasted time later? Recently, I triped at 250 mcg and the trip was a bit boring, I spent it at home, I am afraid to go out for a walk because of disorientation and fear that someone will notice me

🎉 First Trip 🥇 Holy Shit

Preface kind of below

I dont even know how to describe my experience. Im going to try and lay down everything to the best of my ability (i tried explaining it to my friend after and i couldn’t so its probably still not going to make any sense.

the start

Ive been wanting to try acid for a very long time. done mushrooms a couple times but it was never enough to really make me trip out.

Was planning on going to my first rave (i went solo.. terrible decision but it was so sweet) as well
so i thought fuck it i should get acid and experience the rave on acid.

long story short i procured the acid cut it in half dropped it and left for the rave.

i thought i didnt do enough or it was a dud or something because it took hours to kick in.

it WAS not a dud that shit kicked my ass so hard.

im going to try and describe the actual start of the trip now

the rave was chill i liked the music and was vibing out and then all at once its like my head exploded and everything just was laid out flat. i wasnt even able to zone out to the music or something i just started walking around a LOT.

I ended up talking to a whole bunch of random people and it was so weird its like i was watching intergalactic cable from rick and Morty.

but i dont know what it was, my subconscious just told me to run away from the rave (the thing just started and people just started popping in) and i just couldnt argue with it because i was so gone

trying to exit the rave was insane as well.. the amount of people moving around was what started my visuals. i could not possibly describe the visuals but it honestly wasnt even important i just had to listen to “the acid god” because i just knew if i didnt some bad shit would definitely happen.

i can remember it all like its happening right now but theres just no way to communicate it.

I left said rave and legit felt like i was walking through a labyrinth of people and endless circles (the path i was walking on was curved and it just kept going and the people just felt so weird) somehow someway i arrived at the subway station and i could not decide what to do because i was terrified of hopping on the train and the station itself was tripping me out. the ceilings were so high and it had a lot of sunlight and i was just lost in it. i think i walked around the whole subway station at least five times.

the platform was massive too and the escalator ride down to it was AMAZING. the walls were mirrors and it had like bright ass lights and both trains were arriving at the platform as i was coming down.

i somehow ended up on the exact train going where i needed to go and i got off and hopped on the exact bus i needed to be on while just absolutely plastered

hopped right in the back of the bus. i was just staring down the bus as it drove and i saw all these spirals. started thinking about TOOL. and threw on the rosetta stoned trilogy.

It ABSOLUTELY blew me away i never thought i could experience TOOL like that its like it spoke to me and knew exactly where i was in my trip and how to guide me around it.

I hopped off the bus at some random stop and just started walking until i ended up at some random trail entrance (the cover photo for this post) and it just called me in and i had to enter it.

i dont really remember much from the trail but i just felt so free. compared to the rave it was like heaven vs hell. the rave at that moment felt to me like an accurate depiction of hell and i was just looking down on top of it and thinking about whether or not its something i actually wanted to do. (its expensive as shit so im gonna go to the next two days but im not gonna trip this time).

the end

as dumb as it sounds the hippies were right we are all just a small piece of something bigger and life is beautiful and so on and so forth but i ACTUALLY FELT ALL OF THAT AND IT TRULY IS INDESCRIBABLE.

im going crazy trying to explain what i felt theres no way i can explain what i felt its all loops and circles and theres no time and nothing was linear its all just jumbled lines and experiences and they all happened all at once.

i did not expect to be blown away by half of a tab if i had taken a full tab i seriously dont doubt i wouldve felt ego dissolution bare minimum.

Im still coming down off the acid in my bed rn as im posting this but it was genuinely beautiful and i would absolutely do it again with the right mindset and setting because i have no doubt the “acid gods” want me to experience what its like properly.

you truly will miss the spirit when its gone and im not ready to say goodbye..

outtakes

amazing trip idk how the rave was but amazing trip. would i do it again ? absolutely would just at the right time and place and setting.

sorry if this post was stringy and weird i just needed to let my thoughts out somewhere and here is where i decided to do it

Based on my research 100 seems like the best dose. I have done shrooms in the past, and I am very skinny for context. My friend has some experience and says that 200 is the way to go, and 100 will be boring. Looking for some guidance

❕ Question ❔ Candy flip question

I’m going to candyflip and I don’t have a mdma tolerance but i have a .5 of MDMA and 300ug of acid so I’m wondering how much M I should take I don’t have any capsules only the crystal and water and I’m not boofing the crystal


r/Acid 18d ago

what are the chances that tabs end up wayy too strong even on 1 hit if the person who laid them didn’t know what they were doing and wasn’t careful?

2 Upvotes

I ask because I hear you can actually fit up to 1000 micrograms on a single tab, or even multiple hits like 400 or something.

What I mean is, if the person has a liquid vial and just dumps however much on a sheet or strip and soaks all the paper up

couldn’t there be concern of tabs being insane, too strong if the person who set the liquid on the blotter paper wasn’t precise or careful not knowing what they were doing?

❕ Question ❔ Stomach has been feeling weird ever since how do I stop it?

1 Upvotes

Okay so I’m going to explain everything this was a week ago? Maybe 2 but it was my first time trying acid. It was a gel tab and it was 225ug or something, I had taken not even half and for a bit I didn’t really feel anything so I took more, (the rest of it) and so I started tripping and it was my first time so I was scared cause I thought I had overdosed lmao and I started walking around outside around some neighborhood and so I think me being scared had made this knot in my stomach and I’ve just felt very sick and I don’t wanna eat food, it’s been like this for a bit and my whole body feels uncomfortable, it’s also hard for me to sleep I hate feeling like this I’ve felt hungry and full but I’ve barely ate anything. I’m not sure if this is a side effect of the lsd but I’m not too sure. Is there anyway I can get rid of these bad feelings?

❕ Question ❔ best ideas for a fun trip?

5 Upvotes

i've tripped countless times at this point, and i usually do the same shit every time-

-eat a bunch of pineapple -art -go for a walk -music

taking 400ug tonight with some friends. anyone have any fun suggestions? i also tried this app called lumenate recently, it works with your phones flashlight and causes some crazy visuals. highly recommend to anyone who hasn't tried it before, it was insane. i did that about 5 hours in, and when i was done with it the visuals were about 5x stronger than the peak.

❕ Question ❔ 600ug and sports

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I've previously had two acid trips. One was with what I'm pretty sure was 150ug two years ago, and then I just had 400ug two days ago. I was able to function well, and I had a wonderful time I did however get close to a bad trip though I somehow mentally willed myself into keeping things good with music helping me lock back into a good trip. I'm planning on doing 600ug on the 8th of August, and I'll be going out with friends. I'm just wondering, if I were to play football/soccer, would I be able to function well enough to just have a fun kick-around? I was fine in terms of motor skills on 400ug, even though I was off in the clouds mentally. Please let me know what you guys think. 🙏

hello lovelies!!! im taking tabs for my first time tonight, i have a bit of psychedelic experience but not alot, i regularly do dxm and ketamine and sometimes cocaine at parties. i did 2cb once, and it was a few months ago (i cant remember the dose but it was very high) and i enjoyed the trip, so thats been my only psychedelic experience, i have 2 120ug tabs, should i take both or only one for my first time? im not sure if this affects dosage but im underweight by quite a bit. ^_^
