You are confusing chemical impurities with cuts. They're not the same thing.
No I'm not, it's more subtle than that. What "impurity" is active at the same dose as LSD? It's either LSD or it's inactive.

Different synth routes give a slightly different end result in LSD.
ISO-LSD is said to be inactive, but I've found batches that are said to be refined with extra steps in the synth to remove it to be much cleaner.
In a lot of instances I've seen someone freak out and get naked, running off down the street
But it doesn't need to be active to be a chemical impurity.
If it's not active then what difference can it make?
Sure - there might be less acid on the blotter but you just take more. Even it's only "50% pure" (whatever that means) it wouldn't make any difference because there's only the LSD that's active - it's like taking a piss in niagra falls and someone at the bottom "i could taste asparagus in the piss". It's completely impossible other than as placebo.
It can't be slightly different - LSD is an arrangement of molecules in a lattice. Cut and dried - anything other than that specific arrangement isn't LSD.
Do you think you can pick up on such tiny inactive molecules like "iso-lsd" alongside such an explosively powerful molecule as LSD? It's pretty doubtful your brain is so sensitive as to pick up on 2 or 3 mics of iso-lsd alongside 250 mics of LSD.
My best guess is that all the talk of "clean" and "dirty" is simply how the user is feeling that day. Take acid by a clear stream in a meadow and it will be clean, take the same acid in a room with a pair of shitten underpants on the floor and it will be "dirty".
I'm usually naked save for one sock when I do this.
A substance doesn’t need to be active by itself to cause problems when mixed with other substances of similar molecular structure. A substance by itself could exhibit no psychoactive attributes but in combination with another psychoactive compound may compete for enzymes, compete for receptor sites or any other number of possible interactions.
It just sounds awfully like bro-science to me. The difference in all LSD trips can be explained perfectly by set and setting.
Considering the nature of black market drug synthesis and the lack of research done on these byproducts (and indeed often the drugs themselves) it seems crazy to me to just say a non-psychoactive impurity cannot possibly have an effect on a drug.
Grapefruit flavonoids that alter liver metabolism are arguably not "inert"; sure they are not psychoactive, but they do interact with a major metabolic pathway that is common to many other drugs. In fact they will produce effects on the enzyme system regardless of any other drugs being present or not. Iso-LSD doesn't seem to have much of an effect at "LSD impurity" dose levels and has affinity 30x less than LSD at 5Ht2a (i.e. not active). So it's logical to assume that it doesn't have much of an effect on LSD itself.
