Dont eat the brown acid...

[solidfood]

I bought some acid that is one white blotter, supposedly 12 hits, its on a three tab strip of blotter, with lines drawn to divide it into 12 smaller hits. It also has a slightly brown uneven tinge to it. Are these bad signs? Are is the solution maybe more concentrated resulting in more per square inch/smaller than standard hits?

 

[Solipsis]

There is no way to tell, if the paper was like this before, then acid of fine quality would keep it pretty mucht the same. On the other hand brown acid could turn white/pale paper darker. If the color is because of the acid then yes darker spots would logically indicate that it was layed improperly and that the doses could be uneven. I'd be apprehensive and just take it into account.

Nobody can tell you whether to try this or not but if you do start extra low and see if you get side-effects.

As per the rules not much else can be said since we do not allow ID threads.

Thanks for the response. It looks to be the solution that turned it brown. I'm not really asking for an ID, but if there is plausibility to the solution being laid onto blotter and each tab being divided into four 'hits' Has anyone come across this before? As always I will exercise caution and eat all of it at once...kidding.

 

[Solipsis]

Of course the solution could have been more concentrated. It could be that the pencil lines are really what are meant to be standard hits because they are laid relatively strong OR it could be that they were merely meant to give that impression.

Weren't you told anything about it when you got it? It looks pretty funky IMO. :D

Also understand that if you took that picture with your telephone or something there can be what is called metadata in the image that could say exactly where you were when the picture was taken. For self-incrimination that is not good. Of course a few hits of acid is not much but it is for your own safety that I am saying this.

I was told it was 'very strong' but I got it through a friend of a friend. Its definitely the strangest I've seen, this is the first I've come across in the 30 or so times I've dropped. I hope its legit seeing as I dropped *quite some money*. Yeah I know about the exif data, but I figured it wouldn't be there since I uploaded it somewhere else then redownloaded it. What would cause brown coloration like that? Is lsd crystal brown tinged or is that a sign of impurity? Again thanks for the help

 

[greenmeanies]

lsd crystal, like most organic chemical compounds, is brilliant white when 100% pure.

also like most organic chemical compounds, a small amount of impurity can cause a HUGE change in color. "brown acid" might be 99% pure. or it might be a DOx. or it could just be a little dirt.

have you been able to talk to people who have consumed this specific batch before? that's usually the best way to gauge potency. don't trust what the vendor tells you, trust what his customers say.

Well they had a previous batch that was good, and supposedly this is from the same guy but its apparently stronger. The color I'm not too worried about, but the three strip of blotter divided into 12 just rang some alarms. I'm testing it tomorrow so we will see.

Perhaps it was dissolved in whiskey or dark rum prior to laying it rather than the more commonly used solvents.

 

[thoughtsUnThought]

i've had hits that were 2-3x smaller than what i've seen to be an 'avg blotter size', and they were still comparably as strong...i also remember seeing some with a brownish color a while ago, don't remember where though.

it should be fine...just spit it out if its bittter, always remember that.
that is some ugly looking acid though

The unevenness of the tone appears to be a result of whatever was applied to the blotter being repelled by the graphite. This suggests to me that whatever the brown substance is, it was applied AFTER the pencil. This sends up a red flag in my mind, since sheets are generally dipped without markings, both because graphite would make the distribution uneven, and to avoid detection during transport.

It could be that something was spilled on the sheet after it was marked, which is careless and could possibly damage the LSD, depending on what was spilled, and could have also resulted in loss of potency if the careless person in question attempted to blot up with spilled substance. It also could be the case that these tabs were manufactured by an amateur, possibly using an impure or low quality product, which you have no way of knowing is in fact real LSD.

It is shitty of them to try to pass this off to you, especially since you seem to be a good customer, and are making a substantial purchase. Get in touch with your dealer and ask him what is up. If he has anything clean that you can exchange it for, then do that. Otherwise, get your money back. If he won't let you return it for your money, then he obviously lost a good customer. I wouldn't put something that looked like that in my body, personally.

Note: if my theory holds water, then the darker lines were applied after the lighter lines, since the brown substance is pulling away from those lines as well. It is hard to say if the dark lines were applied before or after the brown substance. In any case, I wouldn't worry about the dose being divided up the way it is. He may have been planning on cutting it into 2-strips either for sale (perhaps pushing 6 for the price of 5 or 4 because no one wants that shady looking shit) or personal use prior to your contacting him.

The size on those tabs looks like the ones I always used to get, no matter the source. It's hard to tell since there's nothing to compare it too though. That's all I can speak for, however.

 

[artic]

My brother says that the discoloration may be a result of being printed on construction paper rather than blotter/watercolor paper. Does the paper seem different from the tabs you have gotten in the past?

 

[helium-4]

What country was this blotter acquired? These type of threads don't belong in PD but in the acid threads in the regional subforums.

 

[Fire&Water]

What he said..."Looks purty' funky"

It is laid on your normal white on white perforated blotter.

 

[whataboutheforests]

it should be fine...just spit it out if its bittter, always remember that.

somebody correct me if i'm wrong but isn't LSD naturally a little bit bitter tasting?

 

[artic]

Hmmm... didn't notice the perforations before. Yeah, if I had to guess I'd say its most likely that someone spilled something on a sheet. Probably safe to take, but might have lost significant potency. I'd still suggest you try to exchange it or get your money back.

I noticed in the past that clean blotters of especially high potency would kind of tingle, but I wouldn't describe it as "bitter".

 

[Pegasus]

I've had a lot of good acid that had a brown tinge to it (not saying this is what you have)... I actually have had a sheet that had dried incorrectly and around either end there was a strip of dried brown glue-like material that we peeled off and tripped really nicely from. Anyway, as Solipsis said, there's no telling. I wouldn't say a brown tinge is necessarily bad though.

 

[Slain]

I left a sheet on the dash of my car one afternoon, and it happened to turn the same sort of tinge-y colour.

(and yes! the tabs seemed fine upon consuming! and i had no complaints!)
