Had an initial trial with AL-LAD today. I dosed one tab of blotter paper which was said to have 150mcg AL-LAD. Chewed up the blotter paper over five minutes and swallowed. Overall the effects were massively underwhelming based on what I’d been reading on here and Erowid. I didn’t really trip at all. Mostly it was like a 2.5 hour stimmy bodyloady come-up that subsided into a pretty mild, clearheaded mood lift for another three hours. The main effects I noted were stimulation, appetite suppression, and mood lift. Virtually no altered perception at all. I went to a post-impressionist/cubist art exhibit at a museum on the dose, which was great, but the drug did not really enhance it much at all beyond a basic mood lift and made me a bit more talkative than I normally would have been. I laughed here and there, but no true psychedelic giggling fits or deep profound laughter. Honestly the drug itself was massively disappointing, nothing like LSD to me, except during the come-on portion in which it just felt like a barely-threshold dose of LSD, which I really dislike because I seem to get all the bodyload and none of the cognitive fun.
From T+0-T+3hr I was coming up. The come-on took about three hours of uncomfortable body stimulation that would occasionally pass over into nice waves of a pleasant body high, but nothing euphoric. At T+1hr I had mild visuals in textured surfaces… breathing, waving, the kind of thing you get from threshold doses of LSD, with some other minor shifts in perception, but these subsided completely at the T+3hr mark. Following the uncomfortable first three hours, I was mildly high for about another three hours. Thought trains were quite clearheaded, no mystic or otherworldly thought patterns, no increased introspection, absolutely no problem looking or even feeling sober in public. Visuals subsided completely once I started “peaking”—absolutely nothing, no synesthesia, no auditory hallucinations, barely any color enhancement even, honestly no altered perception at all. The main effects during this portion were appetite suppression and a good mood lift, nice easy conversation, talkative, a slight pressure headache, etc. No psychedelic insights to speak of, no visuals, nothing. Quite underwhelming and not worth the 2-3 hour come-up. Very little psychedelic activity. I would only take this in higher doses, 150mcg was threshold at best.
Tolerance was not a factor in this either, as I space my trips out with 2-3 months in between. I had not ingested any psychedelic materials in over two months prior to the experience.
