I am taking this again for the 6th time (been taking it spaced 2 weeks apart) at 300ug, and my wife is going to take it for the first time at 175ug.
The first thing you will notice when you take this, is that there is a slow gentle relaxing come up like with mescaline. I agree with Namaste who said he was still peaking 7 hours later, the peak is way past the 4 hours commonly felt with LSD. This lasts way longer than LSD. It does not feel "man-made" or "analytical" at all like LSD, but rather very primitive & natural like with mescaline, infinitely beauty enhancing just like with mescaline, extremely neon colorful, zero anxiety, no wandering thoughts or tenseness, but has a deep headspace, a real gem, perhaps deeper headspace than LSD I feel due to it's having double the anti-serotonin blocking power of LSD. The more serotonin-blocking power, the further the reach into the divine infinite space, and the more "away from the day-to-day survival filters" (see color chart on page 1 for explanation with comments from LSD scientist Dr. Nichols) just as 5-meo-dmt has extremely high serotonin-blocking power, similar head space. You do indeed see neon red-green, neon orange-blue, and neon purple-yellow colors all night long with 1-acetaldehyde LSD, just as commenter below saids.
I also agree with 2nd comment below, that there is zero anxiety at 300ug. Here are two comments from reddit that I found that are similar to what I've experienced, having taken 1-acetaldehyde LSD x 5 times allready, spaced around 2 weeks apart. Keep in mind that 1-acetaldehyde LSD has one more hydrogen atom on NH group adduct than ALD-52.
-----------------
I am very fond of ALD-52 as well! For me, the headspace was very much like #25; however, I felt like the former of the two had potential for a really crazy headspace. ALD-52 also had me seeing three different colors that I'd never seen in my life. I saw red-greens, orange-blues, and of course the fucking purple-yellows.

ALD is MUCH calmer than 1P in every way. 1P tends to have a shitload of anxiety on the come up and tachycardia for me and my group of friends. Its very visual but also very scary at times. especially at high doses. ALD is the best IMO. I prefer it over the real thing honestly. At high doses it was very tame, had a great visual set, and no anxiety at all. very welcoming in the way it gets you. I would pick ALD all day long, and i could take or leave 1P in all honesty.
1992 adducts study: hxxps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC49935/ Page 8441 "Reaction of Indole with Acetaldehyde: A 0.2% solution of indole in equal amounts of water, ethanol, and acetaldehyde formed a product with 60% yield after 1 hour of reaction at ambient temperature. Omitting the ethanol (50% acetaldehyde in water mixture) had no effect. Decreasing the concentration of acetaldehyde to 0.1% increased the reaction rate and percent yield of product." See pic of the researchers's indole + acetaldehyde adduct product formed ---> ie before (page 8439) and after (page 8441).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC49935/
The researchers achieved a 100% new product with or without the use of ethanol, it made no difference, you only need ph=4 acidified water and around a 0.1% acetaldehyde solution, with a 1.5 hour soak time with stirring.
The Sherry wine supplies 5mg acetaldehyde per 15ml or 1/2 shot glass, and is at ph=4 already like the study calls for, new 300ug 1-acetaldehyde LSD formed from 300ug LSD in 3 hours sitting in the fridge with stirring once per hour due to adduction at NH group nitrogen at indole of ergoline LSD with acetaldehyde, just as study explains.

Just read Sherry wine goes bad once opened after several weeks, good thing it's only $6 a bottle, will just have to keep several un-opened bottles on hand in the fridge, thank goodness it is cheap

Also see Namaste's trip report with 300ug:
"Thanks for sharing the recipe. I really do believe that there is a conversion into a new substance, that it's acting on different receptors. That was one of the best trips of my life and I dose several times/year.
Blessed be
I think you're on to something here. It was extremely chill. Soft around the edges. When I started coming down, it felt like 10 years of therapy.
I remembered good times, felt compassion. Listened to music I haven't listened to in years. Thought about friends, was at peace in a way that I haven't felt before.
The stars formed into animated constellations. My Bodhi statue began to juggle. I saw the Perseidies meteors not just out of the corner of my eyes but right over my face while lying in a hammock. Saw the entire movement from start to finish. They looked like giant arrows.
Stayed awake all day, went out to visit friends. It was very happy nostalgia. Sometimes larger doses make me totally black out. Not this time, I was awake and aware. No primal fear or paranoia.
TWM
I used McCormick brand peppermint, not spearmint, and Holland House brand Sherry. It did feel 'altered', seems to extend the duration too. Felt like I was still peaking seven hours after dropping. Sometimes I get a cracked out, confused feeling, not this time.
Haven't seen neon colors like that since the one and only time I was puddled.
Sunday's are generally filled with dread and depression for the following week. Experienced none of that. Just a long lasting afterglow. Still in a great mood now. I did get a pretty severe headache but I also drink like it's my job, and I am on a SSRI.
Been thinking about Ephesus and Pergamon, not sure if thats subliminal or coincidence.
Going to wait 3-4 months and repeat.
Give this a go!"

Krystle Cole from the book "Lysergic":
Isn't Ergot what Socrates used to take at Eleusis?" I thought it was kind of cool to be taking something that the founders of our democracy used to take, but that our current democracy has made illegal.
LSD chemist Todd Skinner replied "Yes, except for he did a water infusion of the ergot, instead of alcohol." Todd had prepared 6 jugs of ergot wine and stored them for many years.
Krystle Cole's "ergot wine" experience (several pages long) in the book "Lysergic", reported that she saw constantly rotating holographic Sanskrit or Arabic & Zodiac symbols, floating in a circle around Todd's head.
Even LSD chemist Todd Skinner added ergot to wine, then consumed. He saids in the book that alkaloid conversion was taking place as well, years before I caught onto it.

To Make: simply soak 3 x 100ug LSD blotters in 1/2 shot of cold sherry wine in the fridge in a large shot glass for 3 hours with foil lid to prevent spill over....one hour later add 5 drops of peppermint extract, and swirl the shot glass once per hour. Consume after 3 hours. The sherry wine contains 5mg acetaldehyde per 15ml or 1/2 shot glass, and is at ph=4 which is what the 1992 indole adducts study calls for, including the long soak time. Acetetaldehyde boils off (has a green apple smell) at 68 degree F, so keep shot glass in fridge at all times till consumed. Peppermint extract also contains 2mg acetaldehyde per 5 drops.
Have a nine dollar "wine preservation canister" to keep the six dollar bottle of sherry wine good for months instead of 7 days, I just spray it into the open bottle to replace the oxygen with carbon dioxide/argon/nitrogen so the high levels of acetaldehyde in the Sherry wine will not oxidize to acetic acid (gives a vinegar taste to wine) over time.
