Happy new year man :) i've tripped a few times on NYE and it's a lovely way to see in the new year, this year i'll head to get high on a hill somewhere and watch the fireworks across the city

I do think redosing works ok with this one, someone on another forum reported redosing 300mcg 4 times throughout the night (at 3 hour gaps) climbing higher with each, so maybe redosing just before or on the peak (2/3hrs) is best, on all 3 trips i've tended to get a strong urge to redose high at around 3 hours in, the 1500mcg guy also said that he felt the substance was guiding when to redose

I think tolerance really sets in when there's a noticeable come down (a sign of the bodies resistance winning), usually a redose is called for during the peak and i reckon that's when one is still open & sensitive enough to make use of it, and i don't think after the visual peak i'd want to redose anyway, i love the clear slow introspective drop off

I do prefer getting doses down in one go as i like one onset, the 1st hour after the redose was a very steep climb, really it blended in fine though and was sleeping easily 11hours after the first dose (maybe plenty of cannabis helped) i know some say that redosing doesn't intensify it just extends but i found the reverse to be true, perhaps the fact it didn't extend it is evidence that some tolerance had set in, although due to the intensity of the redose i don't think so

I tried it last night. 150mcg followed by another 150 after 1.5 hours. Redosing definitely boosted the effects I was feeling.
I felt nothing but positivity and good vibes. I ended up smoking a bunch of herb through out the whole trip without a hint of anxiety.
A truly beautiful substance. I can't wait to do more. I'll be trying 450mcg next time.
I took it at 9pm and had no trouble falling asleep by 3:30am with no assistance from benzos. I found the whole experience to feel very serene and with a strong push towards positive emotions, happiness, joy and some of the best giggles I've had in a long time.

Wow i didn't think sleep would be possible that early, i couldn't see myself sleeping much before 12 hours realistically so i aim to drop at 3pm latest, i prefer tripping at night but if i dosed at 7pm with this i'd probably be watching the sunrise

Although i saw it's teeth i definitely feel like it has such a strong loving push to it, i can now see why so many say its the most gentle forgiving psychedelic they've tried, to put in context that experience i had was about 3 minutes in total of a 10 hour trip and the rest was love (all of it was love really), it's almost like psychedelics have learned that if they want to mainstream they need to be more subtle about it, it's still so annoying it's being banned!

very hard to fix society
how to make the rest of the people get on side in protecting good drugs and shunning bad ones.
i.e.
give the good ones good attention
and the bad ones go on timeout.

good attention means what?
regulated clean approved supply and approval of shamanic and celebratory integration into modern life.

not happening ehh?
oh well.
 
Yeah, i do wish that this was out there like LSD in the 60's, i think considering how euphoric and great it is for music/dancing that it could really take off

AL-LAD is absolutely top-notch, last night was the most fun I've had in a LONG time. I took it with 2 close friends for NYE. From the moment it started to hit me I started smiling and I didn't stop until it came down. The next morning I had sore abs and face/head from laughing so much. It seemed to put a patina of "this is awesome" over every aspect of everything. EVERYTHING was funny, hilariously funny and ironic. My friends and I kept having these intense moments involving something being funny in a profound way, but I can't remember what they were anymore. There were moments like that where I felt pretty mentally altered, but for the most part I felt clear-headed, and ideas and communication were flowing freely. I did have some issues getting the correct words out at first but that faded away with time. Crazy things kept happening too that we all experienced. For example, the music ended one time, and we noticed that there was still sound coming through the speakers, very quietly, though nothing was playing on the computer. The music was the most crazy and goofy Mexican-style music I've ever heard, it was the perfect phantom music to start playing. We figured eventually that it was picking up a stray radio signal somehow. Then a little later it happened again, but as soon as we called over our non-tripping friend to see if he could explain it, it stopped, like right when he got there. Then we had a little trip about whether it was real at all or not, or just a shared hallucination.

I took 300ug and then added 150ug at a little over an hour (which made a difference for sure). I didn't get many visuals, though I never do anymore... my friend said he had amazing visuals though (at 300ug). For me it was color enhancement and this HINT of patterns and movement on surfaces, but no overt visuals for me. Everything looked beautiful though and the colors I could see were enhanced with pink and green glows. We listened to 2.5 Shpongle albums for the first few hours and me and my two friends kept spontaneously jamming along to it, I was on the keyboard (the bad ass new keyboard I bought <3). I figured out SO MUCH last night, the music was flowing effortlessly. I developed new styles and timing that I have never had before, and figured out Shpongle's middle-eastern/Spanish thing and how to really jam with it and understand the structure. Later we jammed without Shpongle in that same style and it was so great... I wish so bad it had been recorded. I was on FIRE, the AL-LAD seemed to unlock something in my freedom and confidence and creativity. Today I just got back from jamming some more with different people (we are hopefully going to start a band) and to my great pleasure the stuff I unlocked last night is still at my disposal.

So yeah, anyway, AL-LAD is fucking great, I'm glad I have 8 more hits. One of the nicest and most fun psychedelics I have ever taken. At no point did it feel even remotely negative or uncomfortable. I felt AWESOME physically from the very beginning when it started to come up, and I basically just experienced an increasing swell of inspiration and childlike hilarity that was just wonderful to live through. Highly recommended, and I look forward to my next trip. It feels like something to do with friends though, we were all talking and interacting so much. Next time I'll take 450ug all at once, or maybe even slightly more (3.5 hits). I could have handled plenty more, though it was strong and fully satisfying.

I think I want to write a trip report about this... I'm gonna start jotting down notes of everything I can remember. I did note even during the trip that the more psychedelic aspects would slip from my memory pretty quickly, as well as a lot of details. I was just awash in this glorious, intense, beautiful euphoric bliss, and details did not seem that important.

You must be even more of hard head than I am. 450 would have given me crazy visuals. Were you tripping with a tolerance?

@Xorkoth Great isn't it? And likewise I too still cringe about not having recorded.. Next time we set everything beforehand and just let it record. I did it one time now, but for music it does seems top notch. Altered but clear headed and not very visual, great for jamming.

You especially should try 4-HO-MET at the end of it. Absolutely superb visuals at only 19mg (+9mg a bit later) still very enterlaining, I would like to push it further next time, (25 with 5-10 booster?) I just checked erowid and they state 25+ as very strong so perhaps this isn't for everybody...8) But to me this felt like the best fun i've had on a psychedelic ever and this stuff feels so friendly it makes me think of cotton candy if that makes any sense at all...

Ok enough raving about this now, but I do think AL-LAD is a good potentiator or launch pad as you say into 4-HO-MET bliss. Definately not productive for music, but more like a great dessert after a long jam...I'm out of AL-LAD a.t.m. so will see if I get similar results without AL.
 
Yeah I don't get it when people say AL-LAD isn't good with music. I've had really powerful, transcendent experiences listening to music.

I have a perma-tolerance because of tripping like 4 times a week for 2 years back in 2006-2008. Even though I took a 3 year break from 2008-2010/2011, it never went all the way back down. Also I think I have natural tolerance to lysergamides, I have only managed to trip on LSD beyond a threshold level except for the last time I tried when I took 5 hits, 2.5 of which were for sure 115ug. I tried LSD a few times before I had done psychedelics more than half a dozen times in my whole life and my companions tripped nicely but I barely felt anything... this pattern repeated throughout the years, with hits friends claimed were really good but basically no effects. I expected some natural tolerance from that, so I took more than most started with, and I was right. I figured if I was wrong, I wouldn't mind tripping really hard. I had no acute psychedelic tolerance at the time, it had been a few weeks since I had tripped. It wasn't a really hard trip at all, but it was satisfyingly strong and very, very pleasant.

Also, as a result of the period of psychedelic abuse, and ever partway through that, I rarely get visuals, or if I do they're subtle. High doses of DOC will still do it, and DMT, and ibogaine it turns out. Probably others too, but in general I don't get much. On that 5 hit LSD trip the visuals were pretty subtle too. I've just stopped expecting visuals, and honestly it doesn't really bother me, visuals are cool but I care more about the psychological/emotional alteration.
 
Probably, yes. Haven't done mushrooms in a long time. But like, 2C-B at 37mg barely gave me visuals (but was a nice, if underwhelming, trip). Adding some unknown amount of 4-HO-MET (washed the bag) post-peak actually gave me some of the best visuals I've ever had though, especially closed-eye.
 
never did get many visuals off of 2b....now 2ce gave me some great visuals......would love to try that whole spectrum of 2c-*.....too bad they are gone from my grasp

4 ho met may be my favorite......it is outstanding

Yeah 2C-E is awesome for visuals, I assume I would still get them from that but I haven't tried it in many years as the experience is pretty overwhelmingly intense a lot of the time. I don't get many visuals or a very strong trip from 4-HO-MET by itself though (it's a very nice trip though), it was just that 2C-B combination. I also got really intense visuals recently off of MXE + 2C-I (not much 2C-I either, the synergy was powerful).

bro, watch out about stacking lots of those type of psychedelics you might burn out several days
 
Had an absolutely blinding and fulfilling trip on a tab of good ol Al-LAd this evening. What a time and I'm so sad that it's the end of such a beauty of a chem.

Quoted in another thread I wrote

"Good dawn, snowy morning everyone, and a random pop in here! Have had a magical, exhilarating and most liberating time off a tab of AL-Lad. One I have not touched in a year. Wow, why. Past few months I've been down, pretty damn down. Christmas was a mask of goodnes, but a mask and now it's all back. Now though, after this bliss experience I feel like the lost swallow, sitting in the lonely branch in winter, ready to set flight, albeit weakly, to the grand warmth of what the future brings. I'm ready and happy.

Happy New Year to you all, and hope the goodness follows all.

Tragic that is being banned. Wish I could confront them all how I feel right now :D"

Would like to add to here :)
 
Happy new year!

What do you mean with burn out? I haven't experienced a dip or anything like a comedown or burned out feeling like after taking MDMA for example, if anything I felt better the days after. (But I wouldn't call it medicinal like (sub)treshold doses of 2c-b proved in the past.)

That one tab of AL-LAD (while I approached it with the respect I have for LSD) didn't really do much other than a nice headspace and music appreciation for about 2-3 hours max. When I dosed the 4-HO-MET I was already relatively sober. But you might not get that from my glowing review.. I'm not much of a hardhead with psychedelics in general and hardly ever mix them. Or do them very frequent. (Had this tab for months before finding a good time and place, but effects seemed so managable I would rate it museum dose, + or ++ at most.

To me 4-HO-MET still feels very managable at these doses, not difficult in any way and I don't feel it was such an extreme dose for me, if this is the case for some it certainly didn't feel more than a +++.

Or anything as extreme like a ++++ or how DMT sounds to me.
(Machine elves or insect like entities and being catapulted into another reality altogether isn't what I'm looking for, it sounds pretty intense, same goes for DPT or even holing on MXE)

These are different materials and I wouldn't expect to or want to achieve similar results with a different substance or something like 4-HO-MET or think any orher experience not as intense as 'safe'.

Not to say that I'm deaf for good advice in this regard. I do appreaciate your concern if I'm being reckless, just let me know.

Thanks.

Aye mate, I've enjoyed a good bash of 4-Aco-DMT and loved it and it's, for me, earthly richness. Very fucking deep stuff but I've been too afraid too explore it on larger doses (after my first bad experience with it). What I love about Al-Lad is the pure positivity futuristic random images. Everytime I just get this emptying of all badness and everything I think positively enter me and cleanses me. Very damn weird.
 
AL-LAD is definitely very positive. I can't even imagine having a bad trip on it.
 
Hey what's up I don't know either of you and I'm new to bluelight but seeing your post just told me to ask if you've tried DMT...if not and you can it would be the best psychedelic you've ever tried in your life, oh I kno it's weird seeing some chik you don't kno post on ur posts but as I said I'm new on here n just seeing how all this goes.
