From the book
Practical LSD Manufacture by Uncle Fester (page 69, Chapter 10 - Solvent Management):
The truth of the matter is that lysergic-
similar compounds contaminating the LSD are responsible for these
undesirable effects. From clavine alkaloids to unhydrolysed ergot
alkaloids, to unreacted lysergic acid, or lysergic acid hydrazides to iso-
LSD and God knows what substances created by the mishandling of
the raw materials and product, a contaminated product is much easier to
make than a pure one.
People who manufacture lsd know their shit.
If you get bad acid it was made by a borderline retarded set of chemists and their crew of retarded dorks who dont know how to lay lsd properly.
Not all acid cooks are enlightened gurus trying to spread the love. Im sure there are plenty who do it for the cash and could care less about leaving some byproducts behind.
Most lsd is lsd through and through. Most of these guys wash it as many times as they can, because they are not assholes. They want to share it with you no matter how uncontrollable dealers become down the line.
Plus, impurities for the most part dont do a damn thing unless you are taking more than 1000-1500 ugs. Even then the trip outweighs the effects of any impurities and all you would be able to notice would be a subtle and different dirty feel. Its no big deal.
Most cooks are not assholes,
maybe.
The fact is some can be and are. Dirty acid is NOT a myth.
even in doses of 100-400ug you can notice a difference if you're experienced enough.
Good LSD is completely transparant on the body IME. Dirty acid will give me bloating, gas, and the general quality of the trip is effected by these factors making the trip itself feel worse.
Im just saying that these people know what they are doing.
Unclean acid is almost a non issue. Never has been a big issue.
What yalls need to worry about is getting good hits. Some of the shit out there these days is hilarious.
Hows your wow?
WoW...........lol
Ya, white on white unperfed. Give me a fuckin break.
I dont trust that shit unless I know the person dishing it out.
Ive felt this way since 1999.
Still, alot of that stuff is fuggin awesome. Some is of very low potency.
Its just that sometimes some asshole layed the stuff, not to say its bad L.
Have faith in your lsd, and then try it.
Its most likely worth your time.
Dirty acid is not a myth. Check Rogers post.
And i would much rather get weak clean acid than potent dirty acid.
The quality of the trip is far more important than how strong your tabs are.
And trust me when i say ive had enough experience dealing with LSD to know what im talking about.
^^ It's a possibility but I don't really buy the whole ink causing the taste speculation. I've had the same blotter picture with the same design and obviously the same ink, but different batches of different potencies had taste and others did not. The more potent batch had a stronger taste, so IME it definitely was not the ink. I always assumed it was some impurity/by-product from the synthesis.
The only bitter blotters ive ever had were Hoffman anniversary blotter and Rolling Stones. Both tested positive for LSD so they were def not DOx.
They also fell into the catagory of "dirty acid" IMO and were more potent than blotters i get locally (the bitter ones came from the UK).
Then again ive gotten strong, tasteless blotters here in th US which would also fall into the Dirty catagory.
So in truth you question is very hard to answer.
It could be ink, byproducts or any number of other things.
