Does anyone know how quickly LSD gets absorbed before your good to spit it out? I never eat the blotter always makes me spew .
I usually keep in my mouth (in gum/cheek, under tongue etc) until I'm feeling the first clear effects.
By this point I assume I've absorbed all the LSD there is to absorb, so I spit it out.
Whether or not there is any link between swallowing tabs (and the inks on them) and GI discomfort; I'm not 100% certain.
I can confidently say that I've not had any bellyaches since I stopped swallowing tabs.
Is there a causal link here, or is it luck/placebo/perception?
I have no idea, but I've certainly noticed no decrease in psychoactivity - but managed to avoid bellyaches.
I've had friends who have had a tab put into their mouth by a cheeky friend - which they have promptly spat out - and still experienced an undiminished LSD trip.
From this anecdotal evidence, I think it is safe to assume that a pretty decent percentage of lsd is absorbed through the sublingual/buccal route from blotter paper in a matter of seconds.
I keep it in my mouth for as long as I can be bothered and until I
feel it, just to be pedantic about absorbing as much as possible...but after a decade or so of swallowing the tabs (for this reason), I stopped a couple of years ago, to no noticeable decrease in effects.
Certainly an interesting topic, I reckon.
Can't you just chop it up into slivers and swallow it down with water?
Theories I've read are that the (admittedly tiny amount of) ink on blotters could be toxic and responsible for some "side effects of LSD", as opposed to the paper - or drug - itself.
As usual with acid - theory, experience, myth and propaganda all play a part in common beliefs that abound. A certain amount of scepticism - and
a great deal of care - is healthy!
Without legitimate scientific studies taking place, it's mainly conjecture, trial and error.
It's been a while since I've taken acid, but I never had any GI irritation with liquid or sugarcube dosing...or by spitting out the tab.
This is no guarantee of anything, just an observation that may have no basis in fact.
Set and setting are impossible to overstate IMO.
