Hi, It's been a while since I've been on BlueLight and it's great to be back. I have some questions regarding the best approach and advice for resetting a LSD tolerance that I've built up from once a week macro dosing 99%+ DS-3.0 LSD over the past 7 years. Overall, I feel amazing in every way. I'm objectively 5x more productive on a daily basis (given the amount I accomplish in a given day). I've had significant positive transformations in my cognitive abilities and creative designs for med tech platforms I built for work.
What is the Best approach to reducing my tolerance?
I'm at the point where 500ug feels closer to 120ug when I first started dosing. If I push it up to 550ug at this tolerance level I will get a pretty nice psychedelic experience, but then my tolerance will be set higher around 550ug and so on. So even though I'm having zero negative effects on my life from taking these doses once a week with my current level of tolerance. I'm looking for recommendations for the best way to reset my tolerance in half or completely.
One of the reasons I haven't attempted this yet, is the level of performance increase I get each week for my job that isn't there on the few weeks I skipped over the years. I get such benefits from the nootropic use, I would have to endure a couple weeks or lower productivity it seems to accomplish a proper abstinence based reset approach.
My Main Questions for resetting such a strong LSD tolerance:
Tolerance Build up Year by Year:
For the first 2 years I took doses between 100ug - 130ug. The 3rd year I start dosing closer to 175ug, by the 4th year it was closer to 200ug-220ug, each of these getting close to what 125ug originally felt like. By the 5th year I started dosing 300ug+ (Which still felt like 150ug at the time) that's when my tolerance started to increase at a faster rate. By year 6 it was 400ug and now 500ug. A reference point of my tolerance: I've never come close to ego death, even at 520ug I can talk and think clearly in social environments with the tolerance.
LSD Neuroplasticity:
My background is in neuroscience and I have extensively researched the neuroplastic effects of 5HT-2a/1a psychedelic activation as well as the overall safety of LSD-25 use. Please refer to the collection of important LSD studies listed in the next post.
Significant Improvements in Cognitive Performance, ADHD-Reduction, Daily Productivity, Procrastination Reduction, Memory Recall, and creative brainstorming, design and finding instant solutions to problems:
Since I started the once a week nootropic dosing I've accomplished multiple successful startup companies, including grad level medical research where I had to design every aspect of the software/platform from the ground up and write up all the development blueprints. Each time I would dose, I deeply monitor any negative or positive changes in the days afterwards. Spacing macro doses out a week apart over the 7 years honestly created no noticeable side effects, everything I saw was clear benefits - with many people I know telling me "Keep doing what ever you are doing" without knowing about my LSD use - given the improvements they have seen in my cognitive and productive abilities. I am able to process a list of everything I need to get done during my weekly LSD trips and then accomplish all of the goals during the week. I truly wish I had started this nootropic regiment back when I was in college, I would have achieved so much more. I'm substantially outperforming what I was able to accomplish on prescribed Ritalin/Focalin without having to deal with any of the nasty side effects of stimulations. For instance I was able to complete writing a 50 page med tech thesis within 13 days of non-stop work - something I couldn't fathom ever attempting to accomplish previously. It seems to have completely removed any traces of my ADHD, where I can now work 12 hours days without losing focus or getting burnt out and sitting down to write a 5 page report just flows instantly as if its no effort at all. Where in contrast I used to struggle and take additional hours to accomplish these tasks prior to this dosing regiment. Overall I'm consistently in a good mood, feeling stable, patient and excited for life - truly better than I've ever felt.
Significant Anxiety Reduction:
5 year ago, after a couple months of once a week dosing of 100ug - 130ug, I no longer experienced any anxiety (state or trait). Things that used to make me anxious to the core, like presenting in front of a board of executives at some of the largest hospitals didn't phase me at all. Where in the past I used to get increasingly anxious the closer it got to presenting, after macro dosing once a week I wouldn't have a worry in my mind when going into and carrying out presentations. I was able to present clearly without rushing, it is truly life changing. I can understand the power this can have on people in hospice dealing with the anxiety of death. The same anxiety reduction took place in social situations as well which is truly remarkable. As I continued dosing over the years it maintained a strong baseline of anti-anxiety effects without dropping out and seems to have improved over the years even as my tolerance has increased.
Thanks in advance

My Main Questions for resetting such a strong LSD tolerance:
- Given my level of tolerance, how long should I abstain from LSD use before my tolerance is completely reset, or half reset?
- If I were to stop dosing for 3 or 4 weeks, how far would my tolerance have dropped by then?
- What dose should I take after 3-4 weeks of abstinence to get effects similar to 200ug (Without tolerance)?
- I'm weary that I may over/under dose not knowing where my tolerance is at after 3-4 weeks.
- Does anyone have experience with stopping weekly use after 5+ years and how long it took to fully reset tolerance?
- What dose should I take after 3-4 weeks of abstinence to get effects similar to 200ug (Without tolerance)?
