And make you trip fairly hard? This isn't meant to be an ID thread but I might as well describe my situation for those wondering. My friend wants to buy what is being sold as "fiery acid" that is potent enough to make you trip off half a tab. He was also told it was more euphoric than most acid. Now obviously, real acid wouldn't vary in its effects (it would never be "more euphoric" unless it wasn't acid..) So aside from LSD, what known psychedelic substance are potent enough to fit an active dose on half a tab if acid? Again, please don't make this an ID thread..
I have always found that while MDMA, crystal meth, opiates and other such drugs induce a very clean, forced chemical euphoria, on psychedelics this euphoria seems to stem from a childlike wonder and innocent admiration at either a beautiful thing, thought, feeling, or moment.
Having tried a few of the DOx chemicals, I would be more inclined to think that it was just strong acid. Don't say "now obviously, real acid wouldn't vary in its effects" - have you ever eaten real acid? I've found that it varies quite a bit according to a ton of different variables. No, they can't make a batch of acid magically more or less euphoric with anything else than purity, but generally a nice way to get more euphoria is to increase the dose. I usually respond very well to acid and I find my insights, the way I view the world and people around me euphoric. When I take higher doses, this is more pronounced, particularly when you start to fade into full-blown visions that occupy your entire visual field, synesthesia, eventual dissocation and ego-death. The experience is mind-blowing and coming back, safe within your own body, having just gone through all of time, is one of the most euphoric things imaginable.
Any time I've taken a DOx it has been decidedly un-euphoric. The psychedelic mind loops are strange, thinking seems disjointed somehow, visual hallucinations are quite limied and bleak (as opposed to colourful and vibrant on acid), and all this is accompanied by persisting anxiety and a nasty bodyload. If I get a hit of acid I suspect to be something else, as soon as I feel enough warning signs are there I'll choose to abort mission. Unfortunately I rarely carry a shit ton of strong benzos on me - or if I do, I can't spare them - but neuroleptics always do the trick (though I usually have a horrible next day).
Some of my friends say they've enjoyed them, but according to all LSD is much more euphoric; some would even venture to call it "fun", a word I've not heard when referring to the DOx group, DragonFLYs etc.
Summa summarum:
1) Acid is more potent than other such psychedelics, so getting surprisingly twisted off a single blotter is more likely to mean LSD than most other possible substances.
2) I have a general understanding from myself, my circle of friends and reading about that LSD is - for most people - quite euphoric, and those few that don't enjoy it and have tried a DOx have found those very unpleasant.
He might just call it "fiery acid" to get $.50 extra per hit, or it might just be good acid. Be happy if it is. But don't take any "just half a tab" crap. Unless it's carefully premeditated murder, nothing on one blotter will kill you. If you don't know that they aren't legit, test with one. In my experience, half a blotter - especially if it's not that strong to begin with - will leave you in a horrible kind of intrapsychedelic limbo, not quite sober but not tripping in any sense of the word. Kind of like the early onset symptoms of psychosis from sleep deprivation. The worst part is, if you had weak hits of acid to begin with, you'll have to test again - with a full blotter - to see which drug you got a minuscule dose of.
