My acid lost its potency!

I got 5 tabs of acid from my usual source recently.

I had 120mg of 2cb and 700mg of mdma on saturday night.

On sunday night I had 50mg of 2cb and 400mg of mdma. There was also a small amount of coke (max 250mg) both nights.

An hour later on the Sunday night I had got the acid out of its vacuum pack and held it in my slightly moist/sweaty palm of hand for about 5 minutes as I walked down the street and attempted to find a baggy in my pocket. I put the acid in the baggy and then 30 minutes later I took 3 tabs of the acid (I think 300-600ug but would have to check) by holding them under my tongue for a while and then chewing them and swallowing [as per normal].

However I didnt experience anything from the acid. This is 18 hours later!

MY QUESTION: did exposure to the air (probably circa 10-14 degrees celsius) for as little as 5 mins as well as being on my slightly moist palm mean they lost all potency? OR was it the fact Id already done quite a bit of drugs, specifically 2cb (which is obviously a phenethylamine not a lysergamide but both are trippy) that weekend and there was a cross tolerance or blocked pathway effect?
 
What does everyone else think? The explanation of cross tolerance does surprise me in some ways because they arent the same family of chemicals are they? And I would consider 2cb quite a mild trip to say the least!

Im rather miffed at wasting my tabs of acid - drugs seem to be frequently not working for me /not being very strong, at the moment (coke, psilocyin powder, 4aCo, dmt) - quite a run of bad luck!
 
Tolerance is related more to the groups of receptor that drugs work on than the family the drug comes from. Because 2C-B affects many of the same receptors that LSD does, using 2c-b prior could cause LSD tolerance.
 
Thats really annoying. If im going to a 4 day festival do I have to say to myself that Im going to have an alcohol and ketamine day, a coke and mdma day, and an acid and dmt day. Do I really have to avoid all 2Cs if i want to have a 'proper' trip day?[Im beginning to think the main value of 2Cs is as a tweak or add on to an mdma experience rather than a full blown trip] Is ketamine working on the same receptors as 2Cs/LSD? Is Shrooms working on the same receptors as 2Cs/LSD?
 
Shrooms, 2Cs, and LSD all work on the same receptors and are therefore cross tolerant. Ketamine is not.
 
OP, that read like a druggie word problem.

Is this the first time you'd tried that batch of acid? How do you know what its strength is? "Usual source" is not an absolute science.
 
Holding it in your moist hands is a terrible idea. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the reason it seemed to lack potency.
The amount on a blotter is so small it is incredibly easy to accidentally transfer it from the paper with a miniscule amount of water.
 
tolerance.

ros slow down and stay with us for a while please?

If I could perma trip I would. I can't, and abusing mushrooms 2-3 times a week for 2 years cost me. I had to stop driving, hold off taking any psychs (past the point where the flashbacks have stopped) and re-equilibrate. When I was high, I wanted to stay high. When I wasn't high, I wanted to get high. Now, on a current 116 day break it's close to all I think about.

Far be it from me to advocate breaking any laws (hah!); but have you considered growing your own mushrooms? You will be without limits.

As has probably been said already but all serotonergic psychedelics have some sort of cross tolerance. I have tried every combination of tryptamines with LSD or tryptamines with phenethylamines or phenethylamines with LSD in a close time period and they all exhibited a cross tolerance
 
I always find recent MDMA use really affects LSD tolerance - I usually can't trip at all for at least a week after MDMA.
 
Yeah (cross)tolerance. Posting to say I agree: please cut down on your use.

Click to expand...

You said it. 2CB, MDMA, and LSD are all cross-tolerant, and the coke probably didn't help. Those drugs also work better when you're healthy and well-rested. FYI, if you really took over a gram of MDMA and 170 mg of 2CB in one weekend then either your drugs are quite heavily cut or you're putting yourself in danger, "natural tolerance" or none.
 
I warmly suggest taking a week long break from anything psychoactive. Let your synapses rest and recuperate a little :)
