I tried a microdose/low-dose experiment with LSD recently, but found no effects even at dosages which should have been well above the perceptual threshold. Did I do something wrong, or did I just get a dud blotter, or what?
I should say that I've never actually done LSD before at any dosage. Anyway, here's what happened:
A friend gave me a piece of blotter which he said contained 350ug. This is someone very experienced whom I trust, so I'm sure he wouldn't have misled me, but of course it's possible that he was himself deceived or mistaken as to the dosage.
I cut off one-third of the blotter, i.e. putatively about 120ug. I chopped this up further into three or four tiny pieces and placed them in a small opaque vial with 4ml of distilled water. I shook this vigorously and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
I wanted to get borderline perceptual effects, and I figured each ml from the vial = about 30ug, so the first day I took half a ml sublingually, to start slow. There were no conscious perceptual effects. I did the same twice more at three-day intervals, again with no effects. But this would have been 15ug or so, i.e. probably subperceptual.
A few days later I took about 1ml, which I figured should be 30ug, i.e. probably just perceptual. I felt a bit slow and spacey that day, and more interested in visual patterns and the concreteness of objects than usual, but this could easily have been placebo. There were no actual visuals or other unmistakable effects.
A few days later I took the last remaining 1.5ml from the vial, so putatively about 45ug. No effects at all.
Two weeks later it occurred to me that maybe the LSD on the blotter hadn't dissolved properly, and I still had the little pieces of blotter in the vial, so I chewed and swallowed those, but got no effect.
What do people think? I figure I should have definitely got *some* perceptual effects that last time when I took 1.5ml, or else from chewing the leftover pieces of blotter, but I didn't.
I still have the other two-thirds of the blotter, and I want to use for a full trip, but now I'm a bit doubtful as to how much LSD it might really contain, if any.
