First time using LSD- I ate a tab an hour ago, don't feel anything? Help?

So I got my hands on some Hoffman Bike Blotters to try out. I've never tried LSD before this, and I thought these were the real deal because someone from the Netherlands mailed them to me. I was worried about having a bad trip so I cut one tab in half, used it, then 20 minutes later, I took the other half. That was a little over an hour ago, and I still feel completely sober.

I've been laying in bed the entire time trying to sleep a little bit but I've been awake- I took 2 drags of a cigarette this morning and I smoked a little weed yesterday, but other than that, I haven't had anything. I'd been carrying the tab and touching it with my bare hands for a few days, so is that why it hasn't worked? Should I drop another whole one? I feel pretty sober, just hungry and with a very slight headache (that might have nothing to do with the tab.)

Since I cut it in half with scissors then ate the pieces 20 minutes apart, did that do something to it? They were air mailed to me (USA) from the Netherlands, so are they no good anymore? They've been in foil and a ziplock plastic baggie.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm stumped.

EDIT: They're Hoffman Bike Blotters with the mountain in the background, but there's nothing on the bottom row of the sheet. No '1943' or '2000' date, or little bicycle pictures. There's no additional decorating like I've seen online. The tab also seemed to have a soapy or even fruity taste to them which faded as I kept it in my mouth. I've read Hoffman Bike Blotters to taste like fruit, sometimes, though.
 
I'm no blotter expert but assuming you have been mailed real lsd:

Maybe, but if you accidently "ingested" a dose this way, you'd have tolerance and that would be why you felt nothing with your experiment. I don't think the chances for this are very high, because if tolerance is the issue here you'd have felt something during the first time you were "exposed", I imagine. I myself do use pincers to handle tabs, but I don't think that's really necessary. I just like to play safe :)
I don't know about the degradability of LSD in particular. To be sure keep your blotters in the fridge/freezer in the future.

Definetly not. Tolerance builds fast, but not *that* fast. Anything eaten within the first (half) hour of ingestion should bring about a noticable change.

If you have more blotter and want to try again, wait at least a week (2 would be better).

For more info you'd better wait for someone more knowledgable on this particular matter.
 
Thanks for the reply- I ended up doing the same thing a little while ago- cutting another tab up and eating the 2 pieces a few minutes apart. I have about 30 tabs of this stuff on me right now. I feel a little different, but still sober acting, and no really noticeable visual or auditory disturbances. This isn't what I'd imagined an LSD trip would be like, so maybe it's degraded or not really even LSD at all. I could still be on the come-up, however.

I know LSD can take hours to peak, so I'll cool it and not eat a 3rd tab, regardless of how sober I'm feeling.
 
Did you drop on empty stomach ?
Maybe they're just weak tabs? No biggie if you've got 30 of them, if you ask me ;)

I have tabs which I presume are around 50mics. When I take 3+ I definetly "trip", but when I eat just one I'm at a +, which could probably be ignored or considered placebo if you're expecting a +++ trip.
From what I read, it's relatively rare to have tabs where you only need one to full-on trip.

If you're into it +1h30 after the last tab and still are not very much off baseline, maybe smoke some weed to kick it up, if that's your thing ?

You didn't get any numbness in the mouth area where you placed the tab, right ? Because that could be an NBOME. Not bad per se, just different and something to keep in mind.

Also, for general purposes, if I drop a tab I first brush my teeth, then use 30seconds mouthwash, then drink some water to get the taste/feeling out of my mouth and then drop the tabs. I keep them in my mouth for 30minutes and then swallow.
 
I dropped on an empty stomach, and I took my very first (half) of the tab now about 3 hours ago. Right now I've eaten 2 so far- I have a little bit of weed on me but am a very inexperienced weed smoker. I smoke tobacco regularly and enjoy it. I've smoked weed a few times and all have been somewhat uncomfortable, and also, I don't yet personally know the drugs affect on me.

A little while after I first dropped, my jaws or mouth area kinda felt a little different, like I didn't know where they were. But overall, no, no real numbness. My eyes, however, are EXTREMELY dilated. I just feel a little strange, no really different visuals or anything terribly euphoric, I still feel pretty normal. I think I might eat a final tab within the hour.

Also, if I were to just try again next week, how would it be different? If it didn't work this time, why would it work next time?
 
I'm debating whether or not to eat a 3rd tab- mentally, I still feel pretty sober right now, and the only physical affects I have are light headedness and a really tight feeling in my throat, I looked that up and it's normal LSD vasoconstriction?

Why do you think it is wise to trust someone who wears wooden shoes? Ask Ann Franks how that turned out.

Do not have a third tab tonight. LSD would be taking affect after 2 hours. If it is something else like DOx then it may have a very long onset but a nasty kick in it's arse if you have three. Your best bet is to use this as an allergy test, wait it out until another time then take three tabs next week.

I've never even heard of DOx or other possibilities to what may or may not be on this blotter, how could I tell the difference?
 
Stop eating now and do research on DOx and NBOME tomorrow ;)

If you were aiming for a +++ trip and it is real acid you have, you can forget it for today, or this week even. Tolerance has set in and anything you eat now will be a waste (if it's LSD) or dangerous (if it's anything else).

edit: to get you started, DOX would be sth like DOI, DOC or http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dom/dom_dose.shtml. Basically very long-lived amphetamine-esque trips.
NBOMEs would be 25C-NBOME or maybe 25I-NBOME. Derivatis of 2C's by Shulgin.

Now days there are countless chemicals that can be placed on a blotter. Some are fun, some are unpredictable. You are just as likely to have been sold a dud or something else. Taking three tabs one after the other is a sure fire way for the more nasty chemical types to get you in trouble. Test kits are available, EZ test do a lsd one that can test for some but not all of these.

Is it definitely something other than LSD? I've just read much different things about real LSD that I'm not experiencing at all- could I go have a cigarette or is that a bad idea?
 
I'm starting to read all these bad trip reports of things other than LSD and I'm really nervous that I've taken two blotters.. people say the DOx or something else takes 5, 6, 7, or more hours to peak. There's no way I could be in any trouble since I only took 2, right?

Either bunk or unevenly layed blotter. Try eating a hit from a different side of the paper.

Should I do that next week because of tolerance? I ate two blotters within the past 4 hours and I feel somewhat sober, I mean I feel a little light headed and confused but I can have normal conversation right now and sit at my computer to type this. I'm drinking water and will eat something soon- I just keep reading all these bad, long lasting trip reports of other psychedelics which are causing me anxiety
 
If you are going to trip, reading scary stuff on the internet is not going to put you in the right head space. It doesn't sound like you are peaking any time soon so my advice would be to put some headphones on and go for a walk around your neighbourhood. At best a change in scenery might kick things up a notch at worst you will get some fresh air and some exercise.
