Just to chime in with a short report to add to the confusing mix. I've read lots about 1-p LSD - and in fact wanted to do this so that I would be inundated with all the reported experiences and not be too swayed by any particular slant on the experience - although I do realise that is well nigh impossible. Anyway our previous experiences have only really been with LSD25. We don't tend to mix with any other substance until near the end of the trip when we'll smoke a little grass to revivify the experience, so we are used to an 'uncorrupted' experience. I did take 150ug of AL-LAD last year and was very much underwhelmed by it to the point I would not bother taking it again.
My partner and myself took one 125ug blotter each last weekend. We took the tabs at 2.30pm. I chewed mine until the blotter completely dissolved (around 5 minutes) and she swallowed immediately. I felt nothing for about 30 mins, which was strange as I always get an 'alert' with LSD25 after around 10-15 minutes. I presume that this is a body-recognition that I've taken something that will very soon take me on a roller-coaster journey for 8+ hours. I've no way of knowing for sure but 4 decades of using LSD25 approx 2-3 times per year have led me to reckon I usually take around 200-250ug each time - the optimum dose for me. I have taken larger doses and find these wonderful in their own way.
30 mins. after ingestion the trip started for sure - slightly wavy stonework on the farm building where I was (idyllic surroundings of an isolated arable farm with fields of barley and wheat as far as the eye can see, an orchard and beautiful flowers where my partner has lovingly tended a huge garden). And rarely for Scotland - Sunshine!
The come-up did seem remarkably smooth - although as this is a relatively low-dose it might be expected. The onset time seemed to parallel LSD25 but with no anticipation anxiety. The trip gently increased in intensity with well-formed CEV's that were indistinguishable from the sort of surreal stuff I see on LSD25. The trajectory was to all intents and purposes identical with LSD25 for around 5 hours as was the psychological "content". There was no dissociation or hint of it that usually accompanies LSD25 for me - again probably because it was a low dose. If I had bought this on the street I would not have been able to distinguish it from LSD25. However the duration was I felt, slightly shorter and the come-down smoother and gentler than with LSD25. In fact I was almost at base-line by 8.30pm and could confidently communicate with others whom I encountered in the evening. Interestingly, the come down was noticeably lacking in "skectchiness" or "brain-fry" - something I always feel with LSD25. I feel the gentle, discomfort-free come-down was real and not just a consequence of having read what others have said here on this thread. So gentler and shorter for me than LSD25, but an absolute gem
.
Next time I will try 250ug and I expect it will pack some punch but I honestly can't see it being any less amazing than LSD25. Maybe ug for ug it is slightly less potent but I'd be hard pressed to be certain. Maybe with repeated doses I'll be able to form a more consistent view.
My partner who is smaller and lighter had a more intense experience which lasted longer - around 9 hours - so this points to dose as a determining factor in duration. She loved every moment of it. We were both soundly asleep by 2am the following morning which is something that never happens after LSD 25 - so this was a quite verifiable characteristic on this occasion. My partner did have a sort of brain zap that seemed to shoot up the inside of her skull on her left hand side during her comedown which did worry her briefly (and me!) - at 67 we are both aware that a stroke is a distinct possibility whether tripping or not, although she is very healthy and this is hopefully unlikely (she wonders if any one here has experienced brain zaps like this). She also had a slight headache which disappeared by the next morning, when we both felt refreshed as per usual after a trip. She also had slight abdominal discomfort - but realises this could be because tripping focuses her mind on the discomfort she has left after having a section of bowel removed for colon cancer a few years ago.
So there you go. Hope this one remains available on the DW at least. (I purchased mine prior to the silly NPS Act that got passed in the UK earlier this year). Feels like it might be ideal for short parties in a club and psytrance bashes where a full-12 hour trip is not wanted.
