LSD has very little effect - thoughts on why

So this has been plaguing me for a little while now, but since Defqon 1 festival the other weekend I've decided perhaps I should just start a thread to see other users' thoughts.

Main point to this thread is that thus far from my 3 experiences with LSD, I've experienced very little psychedelic effects.

For the purpose of this discussion I'll just ignore my first experience, as it was only a half tab (150ug tabs, as per vendor description. Accuracy can be trusted).

Second experience was a further 2.5 of these same tabs. +1hr in I was experiencing the typical tipsy/drunk feeling, and breathing textures like woodgrain etc. No elevated thought processes. +2hrs in almost all primary effects had diminished, and I was left feeling ever so slightly removed (hesitantly use the word "scattered" here) - but nothing more. No more breathing textures or anything.

Third experience was at Defqon (music festival), where I took 2 tabs sourced from a friend. Said friend was a little concerned/surprised I was prepared to down them both at the same time, as they were "very strong" tabs (unknown dosage or legitimacy, though I don't question his word that whatever they were, they were *strong* lol). +1hrs I had the same drunk sensation and breathing textures (slightly stronger than the last time), but still not on the level as to be expected. Pretty much 0 elevated thought process either.


Dot point facts I believe to be relevant:
  • When I was 17 (25 now), I suffered a stroke by blood clot in my visual cortex or thereabouts. Complete left-side paralysis (recovered), as well as a permanent blind spot in my visual field (due to brain damage)
  • I require a higher than usual dosage with other psychs to achieve a relative experience - example being DMT in which I experience a less-intense trip from 40mg (vapourised) than my housemate experiences from 15-20mg. Another example being P.cubensis, which I also need elevated dosage to achieve common experiences - I can quite competently venture out to very busy nightclubs by myself on 6 grams of dried cubes.
  • I have no history of any other mental/psychological irregularities or conditions, nor do I have a history of any significant and relevant medical conditions. I'm not currently on any medications, prescribed or otherwise, that would have any interaction in any way (that I'm aware of).


Any ideas? I'm thinking it's something to do with the stroke, though it's just a little odd that I still experienced shit all effects, even on what was considered to be a very high dosage by my friend last time.
 
Are you taking any kind of medications? Also when you write "vendor" it makes me think you bought these online, LSD is sold by drug dealers, not vendors. So unless you bought them from someone on the 'the road' or some similar website I'd say you've been bullshitted. Accurate measurements of dosages of LSD is also really uncommon and also usually, just bullshit. Sorry.

To me, it seems you've been fucked over. Unless you have actually seen someone take this tabs and get fucked up on them, then I guess there is another problem that I have no idea about.

I personally have never seen LSD in tablet form either, not that it doesn't exist, it's just really uncommon I think.
 
Clarifications:

Purchased from the road from a (then) very reputable seller.
Tab = blotter tab, not tablet. Sorry.
Housemate was blown away from a single tab from the exact same sheet. It's possible whoever dosed the sheet did it very unevenly and I got screwed, but that doesn't explain the other points.

I'll never dismiss the idea that I simply got dud LSD - obviously that's always going to be possible unless you synthesised the shit yourself lol. I just strongly believe that it's quite unlikely in this case (though still possible, duh).
 
Oh also yes technically I'm on "medications" right now (though almost entirely irrelevant, since I haven't been on these for every psych experience I've felt was sub-par):

50mg ED testosterone enanthate
50mg ED trenbolone acetate
12.5mg EOD Aromasin (Exemestane)
 
When did you take the first half tab and how soon after did you drop the second time? Maybe tolerance set in after that first half tab, rendering the effects mundane on the second dose. LSD tolerance rises extremely rapidly, even after only one dose and if the next dose is taken too soon after it will need to be increased by a large margin.

Though you probably already know this and sekio is probably right, I can see no other cause really.
 
It would indeed seem like you are hard-headed. If even potent doses of LSD don't do much, it might not be economical for you to keep titrating i.e. increasing the dose steadily (something you should do with one and the same batch of a drug). Other options are to take a different psychedelic entirely, but I can see how that's a shame if you want to go deep with LSD. Using a combination is also a possibility, like adding a dissociative or cannabis.

If you really are hard-headed then titrating with a batch of LSD and/or slowly titrating additions of other drugs might be able to help out, and if they were all flukes then sooner or later during the titrations you should hit the jackpot.
 
Some people require insane amounts of psychedelics to get high, you appear to be one of them.
I feel sorry for these people, it would make psychedelic experiences very expensive
 
Yeah I imagine it is similar to what most people experience with the cost per dose of mescaline or perhaps DMT (bought as opposed to homemade)... mescaline is most accurate because it is just infamously impotant whereas DMT is just kinda expensive sometimes.

Unfortunately, I am one of those people. Not as bad as the OP sounds, but def way above average. I used to have a roomy that would need 1/2 as much me for any drug, and I was so damn jealous. I know what I'm about to say sounds like a lie, and no one believes me, but I have a very severe neurological disorder and I think that's why I don't get opiate withdrawals, even after months of fent, months of subs, and years of oxy. I also have a friend that opiates don't really work on him (he a brain tumor that had to be removed and he was in so much pain I felt soo bad). He also is immune to weed, no shit. I have a huge tolerance and I smoked an entire blunt with him and he wasn't stoned at all. He was definitely inhaling too. I know another guy who can drink 2 bottles of tequila and is only moderately drunk. These rare cases just go to show you how different some people's bodies and minds are.
 
Opiates don't really work on me, I get the analgesia but I need to smoke a large amount of heroin to really get a rush or much euphoria
I get withdrawals though, that's incredible that you don't get withdrawals, do you still feel the psychological addiction?
I also have a friend who doesn't get stoned, I've blazed with him a few times and I'll be completely cheeched and his eyes won't even be red
 
Thanks for all the replies guys, sounds like we're all on more or less the same page.

Yeah I figure from here on in, unless the LSD is given to me for free I'm just not going to bother with it. Have had plenty of great times on mushrooms, and they're infinitely cheaper for me to get hold of :D

I should be receiving some DMT in the next few days, I'll update this thread with a very very basic trip outline to show you what I experience from a particular dosage (obviously to be taken with a grain of salt, just as a bit of insight :) )
 
Yea we just had this talk at a local festival, everyones body's and minds are just different. We started talking about this because my best friend from child hood came home from a tour in Afghanistan he took tested LSD from two different sources one WOW one was a print off furthur tour. 2 tabs each time and he never tripped, he was pissed he said he wanted to taste the color, military peeps are crazy and they love dubstep when they get out, god bless em
 
My main reason for starting the thread is I was wondering if there was a reason why LSD would still have jack all effect even with what can be assumed as a significantly elevated dosage, while other conventional phychs DID give desired effects with elevated dosages (so it's like LSD was never going to work properly regardless)...but oh well, looks to be the hard-headed theory fits well haha

Will be receiving just over a gram of DMT early next week, will do a 20mg test to see potency etc, then if all goes as expected (weak effects) then up to 50mg+ we go! Bring on hyperspace haha
