There has been some discussion here in Australia that the poppy seed sized microdots that are everywhere down here are ALD-52, very strong, visual patterns, no anxiety..amazing. The best "acid" to circulate in oz in 20 years!
I really doubt it. I've had these microdots several times (they circulated worldwide, coming from Europe)... once when they were fresh and it was an excellent trip. However there was a normal amount of tension and anxiety compared to other LSD trips.
Then I ate them several times about half a year later, same exact stuff, and the same stuff you guys had in Australia, but it was somewhat degraded by then. The dots were noticeably weaker and didn't feel very "clean" in general.
I heard rumors that these were needlepoint acid but I doubt it, and who cares anyway.
The point I am trying to get to is this: I have had plenty of LSD trips with below average tension and anxiety, either due to my midset and setting or the cleanliness / freshness of the LSD. I have had some LSD trips that lasted longer than expected, and some that were remarkably visual, and some that were extremely deep. Other LSD trips have been dirtier, less focused, and speedier.
Point #2: What you guys describe as trips which you assume were ALD-52 sounds a LOT like my experience with white fluff LSD (which is ~95% pure I guess). The fluff was not speedy at all, very visual, very relaxing and meditative, and very deep. But it was definitely not ALD-52.
I really do think that most of you guys just happened to sample some excellent LSD, or happened to have a really good LSD trip and for some reason you want to think it's ALD-52.
The variation in the effects of LSD ---- especially when factoring in the range of quality of LSD and the *fact*, as far as I'm concerned, that higher quality crystal produces a cleaner feeling trip ---- can easily explain most of your "ALD-52" experiences.
Now I don't doubt that a few select people have access to ALD-52. But in most cases, the simplest explanation is most likely to be the truth.
