Lysergamides Untested blotter isn’t “acid” — it’s unknown blotter

[Cheshire_Kat]

i've jokety discussed this before on the forums...
There must be a certain algorithm where the price/'qouted'-microgram and the actual micrograms on the paper = the amount of steps you are from the actual chemist.

Price vs dose is not allowed Please read the Sub forum User's Guide.
*No discussing quality, availability or price: This is related to the 'no sources' rule. NONE of this stuff is our business, and none of it is "bluelight material." Quality, availability and price are all about acquiring drugs, which is a topic we do not discuss here.

So the relationship between price vs dose may exist, but it's not discussed or quoted here...

o.k. this one goes deep (and i might be sharing too much) :

1cP-LSD was at a certain point mixed with Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrine (HPBCD) to keep it stable for longer.
I think his might have had to do with the tartrate not binding properly..
Eventhough lysergics are water soluble HPBCD still protects them partially against oxidation (and maybe some UV)
But HPBCD is also a known transporter / enhancer for bioavailabilty in the human body. this could be an explanation.
(for example nano-THC (with HPBCD or BCD) is soo much faster orally active than THC edibles

But actually a better explanation would be the interactions with your CYP-enzymes system..:
if you had any food or even a slow digestive moment of the day without any food, or you did some work out, or just had a walk or a swim, or even went from hott to cold or vice versa ..all these weird unknown factors influence your whole (enzymatic) system.. and could be an explanation for quick or slow interaction.

As someone who has licked crystal LSD on 2 occasions, I just want to say it is essentially tasteless. If anything it has an acidic bubbly sensation where it touches my tongue.
That said, i guess impurities or maybe even ink from the art can have a taste.

I don't think people trust blotter any more than they trust geltabs or liquid?

In PiHKAL there is an anecdote of some lab assistant of Shulgin licking a spatula after weighing out some LSD (thinking it was psilocybin) and proclaiming it slightly bitter, then proceeding to have a rich day at the Dow chemical plant.

It's been a while since I had any tabs with lysergamides (and these were just ALD-52 and an analogue fluorinated on the alkylamide chain, the latter which I have seen zero analysis done but have received a building block for which can be used for 2C-T-21...) but both weren't tasteless despite being on white paper (which had deteriorated into something off-colour with the latter). But I don't question your experience - so maybe it depends on the purity, and following that on art blotters ink etc?

Interestingly with my LSD prodrug trips I had a metallic taste during the trip. I haven't had any NBOx in my mouth besides 25E-NBOH, which shows very strong metallic taste and of course anaesthetic action. 25D-NBOH I only used nasally, where the anaesthetic action is present as well. If the same sensations are shared among the rest of the class (which other people attest), it's more of a definite (albeit late) telltale sign rather than a "my trip was difficult and I think maybe it was slightly bitter". Oh and interestingly with this strong 25E-NBOH trip that metallic taste - just like with the ALD-52 - reappeared during the trip (after it had subsided from sublingual use). I wonder if a metallic taste as some sort of hallucination is perhaps common with strong trips in general (again, I don't refer to an actual taste during ingestion but one appearing later).

Test your drugs because if you are wondering in the aftermath what it was, it's definitely too late, is my point.

This is mostly true. In another life i would go to festivals and sell blotter art. There were 2 or 3 times i regretted selling a person a page because i knew they were gonna lay Nbomes and sell it as LSD.

That said some of the DOB and DOM being sold on DNM are in fact quite a bit larger and thicker, as they require miligrams instead of micrograms. The DOM especially which was dosed at 5mg, when i opened it from the vacuum sealed bag you could literally see crystal dom in a grid pattern.

Yes, a lot of RC blotters demand thicker blotter paper and occasionally a larger area to lay the substance on. There are different types of blotter paper (made for watercolors), and if the standard dose is beyond, let’s say, 350ug then you need thicker or larger paper. LSD is the one psychedelic that you can fill a full “double laid dose” of approximately 350 micrograms within a .25in x .25in blotter. There’s a good reason that microdots and gel tabs exist, and it’s because you can dose them with more LSD (usually 400-500ug).

 

[Syntherize]

wow even when it's printed. Shitty seller obviously but that's kinda on the buyer too.

I have taken DOI only once, it is extremely uncommon.
Least fav of the DOx which, generally i don't love.

Sometimes WOW blotter (plain white on white) paper is the best LSD that you’ll ever get, and it might be stronger than some printed (Art) pages. Usually the more something is marketed as something super great with neat packaging is of less quality to the pure good shit.

you can easily put 1000 microgram (1mg) on a standard (a 20x25 = 500 trips) sheet.
But this would ofcourse be way too much.

Double dose doesn't mean a larger or thicker paper.

A strip is 10 hits. A sheet is 100 hits. A page is 1000 hits. A Bible is 10,000 hits and that’s a full gram of LSD in 100ug/doses. Yes, the blotter is thicker and/or larger for most higher dose RC drugs. This info is all on Erowid.org, I’ve worked with Dancesafe and The Drug Coalition of America for over a decade while getting GC/MS testing for different drugs from differing supply chains. Also, go try to lay 1mg of LSD on standard acid-free, highly absorbent cotton paper, such as organic 250 GSM stock, perforated into small, usually 0.25-inch, individual tab blotter paper and see how much you’re gonna screw it all up. I’ve also probably done and moved more acid $$$$ than you in my life.

We weren't actually discussing price. He's making a joke that the farther you are away from the chemist the higher the price and the lower the dose?

err what page is that? My 2 times licking crystal I'm lucky I didn't get naked run around and get arrested. Both of my "thumbprints" were easily 5mg though. If it was a mg or so I'd probably be ok.

LSD prodrug trips I had a metallic taste during the trip.

I dunno I think that's pretty common. You don't get metallic taste from just regular LSD though while tripping? I've gotten all sorts of synthasesia strange tastes sights smells. Actually, come to think of it. LSD is really the only compound that caused me to smell colors etc.

 

[xdrc]

I have never tried plain LSD, that's why I can't comment on it

That anecdote is chapter 3, Burt, in PiHKAL.

whoa your kidding me? Not sure if you're in the states but LSD is way more available then the analogues.


I'll have to read it next copy i see. I mainly hang out in the back of the book.

 

[Ismene2]

The problem is DOM and DOB are at least 6 times more expensive than acid - so only a fucking idiot would pass them off as "acid" in the first place.

Ive always had acid on every blotter ive ever had

But I bought some self laid LSD and the blotters were huge, and thick, but it was still lsd. I am just saying the size of the blotter is not indictive of what is on the blotter and its dangerous to think you can guess what have based on that....

 

[Ismene2]

Yeah the thickness of the blotter has nothing to do with whats on it. That's really stupid inane bullshit made up by the kind of doofus who breaks wind in the bathtub and sits there laughing and sniffing his own farts. Probably too thick to wipe his arse successfully.

I've had DOM hundreds of times on the same blotter thickness as LSD.

 

[cycloprop]

In a lot of places most of the chemicals that you can pass off as LSD are all illegal and harder to find than LSD. That being said, I still do treat blotters that I don't know the source of as unknown chemicals.

 

[SlizchemNL]

Good points, I should’ve worded that part more carefully.

I agree size, thickness, artwork, and taste aren’t reliable identifiers by themselves. Same paper or designs can be used for different substances, and “bitter = NBOMe” is definitely too simplistic. Taste can come from ink, paper, impurities, or other factors too.

My main point was more basic: blotter format doesn’t really prove anything. Even if it’s sold as acid, printed nicely, from a decent source, or people say it’s fine, that still isn’t confirmation.

So the cleaner way to say it is probably:

Untested blotter isn’t automatically dangerous or fake, it’s just unknown until tested.

I do agree there’s no excuse for knowingly selling fake LSD, especially where basic reagent testing is easy enough to get. But users also shouldn’t treat artwork, taste, tab size, or reputation as proof either.

Appreciate the examples too - the DOI/DOB/DOM and synthetic cannabinoid cases are exactly the kind of thing I had in mind when I made the thread.

Just a note, confirming with just one reagent is also not enough. There has been a case of tryptamine being added to 1P-LSD to fool the Ehrlich, and it does not take a genius to do the same strategy with DOx or NBOx. Thus additional reagents should be used to check explicitly for the presence of those, or more ideally, instrumental analytics are preferred.

When I was in high school, the kids knew how to get NBOMe blotter to pop as containing an indole (and therefore fooling some half-baked assays of reagent tests). It instilled a STRONG sense of caution in me, where even a well tested sheet I often won't exceed 4-6 tabs, since I know I've bodied ~7.5mg of 25C-NBOMe before and that is roughly as far as I'm trying to push that possibility. I would advise most people start with one tab or two though, I'm just a fucking freak with that sort of thing.

Oh yes.. : Some potent synthetic cannabinoids (SGT's) have also been found on (mostly blank) papers.

(forgot to mention this)

I just finished smoking my last sheet of this maybe a month ago! I had 50mcg tabs of MDMB-4en-PINACA I put on old blotter I had kicking around so it was easier to dose, and it came out in a far more evenly-distributed fashion than it ever did when I infused to any of a variety of smokeable plants. I did find that 1-3mg was a sweet spot, 4-6 was a lot and 8+mg of MDMB-4en-PINACA smoked in one sitting was world-spinningly nauseating. Before ever touching synthetic cannabinoids, I was the type to smoke 7 full grams of rosin in 2 days without problem, fully functioning, smoking it in a lossless enail setup. That's to say, like I mentioned above, don't do this shit just because I bodied it, I may be a freak in some metabolic manner.

I have ran through 3 separate social circles of acid traffickers who handle the chem side of things too, 2 are nomadic, not one of them used this scheme you're talking about. They always ran a strip as 10, a sheet as 100, a page as 900 (3 sheets x 3 sheets), and a bible as 9,000 (ten pages). Often a gram was broken down per bible, but for the most part a gram would become a half liter of mildly acidified saline that would be broken down into distribution droppers, which would then be moved and turned into smaller consumer-level droppers by suppliers for street level drug dealers. I have no doubts at all that these practices vary as all of this was on the east coast of the US. I'm glad somebody else here like you brought up how exceptionally difficult laying blotter is, I've been working on different techniques for it for uh, half a decade or so? I'm still only mediocre with it tbh. It is crazy what you can fit onto paper though, I could get 8mg of 2C-B, 10mg of methamphetamine, 4mg of etizolam, and at one point something like 12.5mg of DOM onto standard sized tabs. It's fucking nutty what you can do with it, but it takes an absurd amount of patience, observation and an absolutely antisocial amount of obsession on things. I'm sure you also cringe at the thought of how many people don't think to use a level on their drying dishes. I've made some real like "menace to society" uneven shit when I was first starting, thankfully I just self-supply and have a strange obsession with blotter as a medium, I've never participated in trafficking myself. I'd keep quiet about it on BL anyways, there's a known presence of LEOs here.
