Lysergamides The Big & Dandy ETH-LAD Thread

Ive only tried it once and it definitely left me with a positive first impression.

I had no nausea at 200 mcg. Despite the intense visual overlays with eyes open I kept a wonderfully clear, yet psychedelic mind.
I was able to traverse memories with ease and went off on many tangents, when chatting with a close, sober, friend. I experienced an easing of my social boundaries and really opened up. It allowed for a wonderful catharsis - over an issue for which I have felt much guilt for a some time. The clear head also allowed for some abstract thinking on some work Id been putting off and I wrote about it for the first time in along time. And then I finished off the night by making a wonderful late night breakfast lol

My only concern arose when Tools new album (which I begrudgingly listened to, thinking it was too cliche for an "acid" (esq) trip... ya I was in quite the state lo.. anyways it) didnt work in the ps4 ...and it kinda blew my mind for a minute.

After about 8 weeks off all substances I think eth-lad will be my first trip back.
Likely ~200 again
 
^ lol, I felt the same way about listening to the new tool when I tripped on DOPr back when the album had just came out.

ETH-LAD is lovley, despite the nause I get in the come-up. One I would like to revisit in the near future for sure, ideally in an outdoor setting - I find this one pretty energetic (Although not speedy in any way).
 
I decided to see if I get the nausea that others report on ETH-LAD and went for a little 30-40ug dose today on zero psychedelic tolerance (haven’t taken psychs in months), and am happy to see that I had no nausea and the body load wasn’t any worse or more prominant than 30-40ug of LSD would have been.

Granted, I took 1,100mg of ginger root about 45 minutes before to negate any that would have come up - which I highly recommend for nauseating psychedelics.

By comparison to LSD, the mental effect is similar to what others report. Much less of a psychedelic headspace but visuals on par with 50-60ug of L at times. I can tell just by the feeling that the visuals on this one are gonna be pretty juicy at a proper 75-150ug+ dose.

Had a lot of music appreciation, that psychedelic feeling that the song being played is a narration of my life.

I plan on giving this one another shot at 50-75ug in a couple weeks, to dip my toes a little farther. Wanna ease into this one slowly.
 
How does it compare to AL-LAD. Never got round to trying this due to the blanket ban :(

ETH-LAD is considerable more potent x µg, lasts a little bit longer, has a little bit more of headspace, and the overall feeling is very different I would say. I find AL-LAD to be distinctly euphoric, giggly and carefree, whereas ETH-LAD is more serious, introspective, and very emotive. ETH-LAD feels a lot "earthier", whereas LSD and to a certain extent AL-LAD have a more "cosmic" character to me. Hope the comparison makes sense, some of this stuff is hard to talk about, lol.

AL-LAD or ETH-LAD?

Yes, hard to talk about, but I'd say that's a pretty good and fair comparison.
 
AL-LAD, some guy on the RC subreddit that I might scroll through once in a while posted that earlier this year iirc.
 
Haven't tried it, but that seems like the right time to combo it, or maybe even 90mins in, once the ETH-LAD has fully settled in. I'd be really interested to hear how that goes, I can imagine that getting quite marvellous.
 
I decided to try a higher dose as opposed to combining with 4 aco dmt.
300 ug on Sunday blew my mind.

I completely lost touch with reality for a few hours. Communicating mostly with no verbal cues and hand gestures, though I managed the occasional non-sense. I thought I was God and that I was going to die. But I wasnt afraid because I knew id be born again. During this time the visuals were like an alex grey painting. Psy/prog trance provided the perfect sound track to my soul leaving my body

When I came down a bit and finally went back inside ,it turned out I had thrown a few things around - as they were mere possessions and apparently I was trying to prove they didnt matter. Well cleaning up definitely mattered and wasnt an enjoyable way to spend the tail hours of such a powerful experience.

I felt unsettled and embarrassed the next day (because I am typically far from destructive, even when I was binge drinking all the time).
Been a few days now and theres a bit of a glow as I attempt to integrate some of the lessons.
But being so far gone made it difficult totake much from the experience.

Id repeat at this dose but stay in bed/meditating by myself rather than attempting to socialize.

I'm familiar with the "I'm god and I'm dying but will be reborn" loop, I've hit it a few times, with 4-HO-DMT, and with 2C-E. Actually with 2C-E I believed I had broken existence and everything would cease to exist, and with 4-HO-DMT (synthetic, not mushrooms), I believed I was dying and would restart the universe, and my/our folly and hubris would become the mythology of the eventual intelligent beings who would inhabit the new universe after billions of years.
 
I had something like that happen on a high dose of ALD-52. I thought I was dying, then when that didn't happen, I thought the world was ending. I knew that everything would be okay because we were just going to shift into another dimension in another universe before it was all over. My entire life up to that point seemed completely fictitious and only happened so that I could learn an important lesson. I thought I was the universe, but just playing a role as an ordinary person living an ordinary life. I knew that I had crafted this to happen before I incarnated, and thought it was hilarious that I would choose to end the world at the peak of an acid trip. It all made perfect sense at the time. It was a weird day with a big storm rolling in around the same time as well.
 
@tired_of_
crap you actually intended and did do too much - binge drinking explains the error.
reduce your intake (gluttony) and you may respect yourself the next morning, there is no competition in how much goodies you can or did take.

I blew my mind on 300ug of ETH-LAD too, this all sounds so familiar.

Luckily I was not in any kind of social situation. I hunkered down and weathered the storm, with just the finest thread of an umbilical cord tracing me back to reality. My mind was absolutely broken, awash in a tempest of nonsensical psychedelia. It wasn't even visual per se, most of the content didn't really fit into a specific sensorial experience.

Just found my old trip report posted on Psychonaut wiki, not sure how it ended up there lol.

It's crazy how powerful ETH-LAD is when you increase the dose. It definitely has a steeper dose curve than LSD.

Dear reader: ETH-LAD is awesome, but be very cautious dosing this above around 150ug - it can blow your world apart.
 
@pupnik sorry for the ambiguity but I didn’t mean to imply that this happened due to drinking. It’s been well over a year since I’ve had any alcohol (it was an issue and for the time being I’m choosing to abstain). I was merely giving a comparison that even when drinking heavily (to escape) I had no desire to break things.

I don’t believe my intent was to maliciously damage property during the experience - as from what I’m told I was just nonchalantly picking things up and dropping them like “these things are but mere possessions, they won’t bring you true happiness”

One of my more recent experiences with 1cp and dxm, was quite powerful and had a similar omnipotent/god theme. At one point I believed I was responsible for the snow storm that was rolling in.

But this time the family member who was stuck driving the kids home during said snow storm was here - acting as my scribe (he was the only other person around for the peak). At one point I kept asking "how far are we going to take this", apparently over and over again. As the more he understood and verbalized my attempts at communication the further my/our message would emit and the larger the beam radiating from my chest and the orb surrounding us became.

But yes, my intent was to take a higher dose after nearly 10 weeks without any psychedelics, 6 without weed even). My initial trial with 200, which was strong went well. So I had done my research and read up on trip reports at similar doses (@perpetualdawn yours was one of them lol) and I suppose the results were, fitting. I just assumed I’d handle it better lol, being rather versed with LSD in the past (I’ve only recently found these analogues and admittedly don’t have much experience with them at higher doses but ya never know unless ya try)

I don’t know how far I should look into it but to me this says I just have some work to be done - and that, at least for now, to avoid such high doses.

I think being more practised with my meditation would have helped... as I’ve recently called off that wagon. So in the meantime, that’s my plan, among other things.
