Hi Everyone,

So I finally tried LSD yesterday and I had a great experience (trip report here http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/724623-LSD-2-hits-First-Time-Walking-through-a-Mosaic) . So I have been reading up on doing LSD at a large music festival. What I have gathered is that it COULD be overwhelming and to dose low. During my recent experience, I was in public for a lot of the trip--golfing, two food places, etc. and never really was affected by what other people were thinking and that sort of thing except for at the very beginning. So my question isn't if I should do it because I have already made up my mind and I think it is going to be great experience. My question is what would be a good dose. I have read countless "Should I take LSD at a concert, festival, rave, etc" forums and they all say to dose low, but no real dose is given. Reading through the effects I would say I took probably around 100-150 ug in my recent trip, no way to be certain though. So what do you think a good dose would be? 100ug? I want to get the visuals, but not be in akdfjadfkasdjfiuads state. Any experiences others can share?

Thanks!
 
Have you verified how potent your LSD, if so how? Or are you comparing the effects you got from them with reports of others who say they have taken a certain dose?

Point is, potency is rarely analyzed in a lab... in my country it can be tested anonymously for free (although it does take some time to get the results back). Having that privilige is rare, I think, and comparing advertised potency with actual potency has showed that what most people think is 100 ug may be more like 70 ug or lower. LSD is rather potent and it is underestimated, while the doses advertised to be on/in a product are 'overestimated' or embellished. I think it is safe to assume that this is a universal phenomenon and in my opinion it is not really hard to see why.

I am saying this because if you have a problem with there usually not being given a 'real dose', it is important to first realize how perception of actual potency is skewed in a LOT of cases.
 
No I have not verified the potency. I read through some trip reports and found a dosage effect chart and compared and it seemed like it was in the ball park. The current stuff is advertised as a really strong tab--200ug. So I am just trying to look out for myself and not stupidly take that much when I am fairly novice.

I get what you are saying with how things are probably weaker than advertised, but just trying to get a rough approximation of what others think is a good dose for the situation would be.
 
Half of that seems reasonable indeed (100 ug or less) and yes I can agree with your suggestions in the OP.
 
Really depends upon the type of festival. If its a huge seething mass of people it will be more intense than if it is an open site with lots of room or if you have your own campsite to retire to if things get too much. The genre of music will also effect the mood of your environment as will the weather. I have survived hail and cyclonic thunderstorm conditions when evacuated from a festival while tripping and was pretty happy to be home showered and drinking a glass of red wine by the end of it.

Forget about measuring doses or potency in umg. No one truly knows what they are selling and even if they did in fact lay the blotter themselves, lsd is easily affected by light and heat so can degrade quickly from it's original dose.

If you have tried a particular dose of the same batch and felt comfortable in public, then I suggest you start at perhaps 2/3 of this dose and have more if required. Mind set on the day and even unexpected social interactions with drunks or security can change a person's experience on the same dose so factoring in a slight safety valve isn't a silly idea.
 
100 ug or less is a good rule for LSD at concerts/shows.

Separating visuals from mindfuck is tricky with LSD, which is why you have to be careful. Other drugs are available that provide psychedelic visuals with less mental scattering.
 
200 micrograms would be an insane amount for a tab. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that it is extremely unlikely. That being said, I would probable take around the same amount as the first time, provided it's from the same batch. Maybe 2/3 as people have said, but public is public. If you did it the first time, I would suppose you'll be fine the second. Just keep in mind that every trip is different, particularly with LSD. I've had the same dose, from the same batch, on a different occasion and it almost felt like a different drug.
