did any of you take LSD back in the early 70s or earlier?

Recently someone I know from California (not from online) was able to get some unperforated white tasteless blotter. I took two hits and it was anxiety ridden but an obviously visible trip. The peak set in about an hour after dosing and started coming down a little after 5 hours after dosing, noticeably tripping a few hours later.

I called my dad and discussed it with him and he just said something like "if you took three hits of LSD people like me got when it was available you wouldn't know who you were. You'd be out chasing bunny rabbits and talking to animals. There hasn't been any LSD around since the later 70s, the government took down the shit to make it. What you got was speedy poison. Don't take any more of that shit".

I mean..I felt refreshed and clean after I came down but my heart was going 120+ bpm the whole time. And I doubt many people even on this forum truly havethe means to legitimately chemically test their blotter or liquid.

Have any of you that take todays acid, done LSD in the mid 70s or earlier? Was it qualitatively different than todays stuff or is there stuff out today that is qualitatively identical to stuff from back when it wasn't almost impossible to even get the stuff to make LSD with?
 
sounds like you got nbome'd but there is still real LSD out there. LSD-25 is lsd-25, it's just a chemical. There's no way it can be any different between then and now. There was also tons of misinformation back then, STP(DOB) was laid on blotters, ALD-52 is another one that became infamous. Basically, old people hold onto their nostalgia more than anything else but it is true that the doses were massive during the 60s, with 1000 micrograms being a proper hit when compared to now you're lucky to get 100 micrograms in a hit.
 
Did LSD regularly from 1978 to 1984. Doses got progressively weaker in those years. Took a 6 year break (prison) then dosed again in 1991 and I didn't even think it was LSD. Tried again in 2001 and I wasn't impressed. IMO the LSD in the later '70s was much stronger!! Just my thought.

So would you say there are nbomes that don't numb the mouth and have essentially no taste?
 
I don't know about the 70's because I was not born yet but this is my 70-hundredth post.
 
Acid today is the same as it was in the 80s, just weaker and it costs alot more. And STP wasnt a blotter it was a pill.

Correct STP as I always took it was in pill.Also, Acid is Acid.In 1979 one of my friends came up with a .5ml vial that had "Sandoz Laboratory USN experimental use only". We used a cotton swab on the liquid and tripped hard but really one swipe to the tongue wasn't any more potent than a good hit of blotter. As far as price I don't think the price of a hit has changed since the late 70's.
 
LSD is LSD - same chemical today as it was in the 1950s, it's just that the doses are pissy these days, when i started taking it in europe (25 years ago) 350ugs was considered average, 500 was considered an effective dose but people went much higher than that.
 
Is there any way for a layperson to chemically test a blotter sample and absolutely determine that it's unadulterated LSD? And second question, does the fact that my heart went 100+ bpm possibly due largely to anxiety mean necessarily that it wasn't LSD?
 
Actually STP (Serenity, Tranquility and Peace) is a synonym for DOM, not DOB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine).

yessir you are correct, i was just going off my horrible memory. I thought they were laid on blotters as well, just like doc and such can be now but maybe i'm off on that too but a friend told me about how his dad tripped on STP blotter and had a really messed up time.

I wish i were around during those times but there is still strong acid. I've had LSD where one hit would send you on a massive trip and others where you need 4 hits others 2 hits, it's kind of hit and miss and now with the nbome's it's even worse.

yeah nbomes might taste a bit bitter or like a chemical but i liquid dosed 25i when i had it and could hardly taste a drop of it, which is enough to contain a shit load of 25i-nbome. I don't think most people would even notice a difference unless they knew their shit.

^1. there are tests available for purchase but you won't be able to determine the purity without sending it to a lab. 2. LSD can definitely put your HR over 100bpm, fuck walking up a steep hill can put my HR over 100 and panic attack can hit me at 140-160bpm. Basically, there's no way to tell unless you have a test kit and can send a hit or sample to a lab to determine purity. In general LSD lasts 8-10 hours, DOx last much longer, nbomes are a bit shorter in duration and have a fast come up. Still not easy to distinguish unless you really know your drugs.

my dad tripped on LSD back in the 70s and early 80s in germany and had some interesting stories about faces distorting and scaring him. He didn't really give me much detail, just said that he bought 20 hits at once and that it was very strong. Psychs weren't really his thing though.

would you say LSD feels similar to nbomes and where exactly could one send a blotter sample to and get purity tested?

why do you say I got nbombed lol

you mention fast peak and duration of 5-6 hours, which is exactly the duration and peak of 25i IME. You also mention it was anxiety ridden and typically PEA psychs are quite stimulating and can cause anxiety. LSD will typically take 30 minutes just to kick in then will peak after 2 hours and wear off by 8-10 hours. I just speculated, it's useless though, no one knows what you took. There's not a huge difference and for some people it may be impossible to tell. LSD to me feels nothing like an nBOMe but i've had enough experience with PEA psychs to notice the subtle differences, i can tell that stimulated/nauseated/anorexic/speedy type feel of them in general is much different than LSD's stimulation. Visuals are also quite a bit different as well but the state of mind isn't really that different IMO.
 
it took 30-40 minutes to notice effects and peak was full at 80-90 minutes, yes. How long have you been doing acid robot?

And I'd love someone to tell me where to send, exactly, blotter samples to get them tested for purity without possibility of fraud or error..if possible :) thanks
 
I feel robot is correct in that you possibly could have gotten something other than LSD.The only anxiety I have experienced on acid was on the come up sometimes I felt I made a bad decision by tripping. But, the anxiety only lasted for 30 to 45 minutes at most till I started tripping then all was forgotten:D.I could get blasted for saying this but I wouldn't believe what people tell me is on a piece of paper nowadays. Things have changed through the years. It's all about $$$$ now.

ive had 25i kick in within 5-15 minutes and peak at 1 hour, so who really knows, everyone is different. I've been taking LSD/psychedelics for 10 years now but haven't had LSD in a few years because of bromodragonfly, dox and nbomes becoming so popular, it was different even just 5 years ago. I don't see things getting any better with nbome, nboh being so cheap and easy to acquire and make blotter. I think blotter will follow in the foot steps of what happened to MDMA in NA, basically methylone and random shit replacing it to the point where you can't trust any pill/powder you buy.

@bongerman: yes my mistake.
