LSD trip, supposedly 3 x 105μg Saturday morning, starting at 5:00 AM!

I am drinking half a gallon of grapefruit juice over last night the day of the trip.
Magnesium supplements – 2.5 grams

T+0 52.5mcg – oral –LSD
T+0:37 – 52.5 mcg – oral-LSD
T+1:06 – 105 mcg – oral-LSD
T+1:30 – 105 mcg – oral-LSD
T+0:37 – 55mcg – oral-LSD
T+5:45 smoked a little bit of weed
T+7:15-smoked a little bit of weed


Setting – our quiet house, just me and my wife, phone off, a very peaceful atmosphere!

T+00 took half a tab. I'm testing a new batch of LSD, the tabs are supposed to be 105 micrograms but you can never tell for sure before you try.
At the same time I am drinking grapefruit juice, overall about half a gallon of fresh organic juice. It slows metabolism of some drugs, my regular trips last very short (6-7 hours) so I extend them to 10+ with the juice.
I'd been taking huge does of magnesium supplements for a few days as I remember my jaws grind a lot when tripping.
Apart from grapefruit juice and magnesium I haven't been taking any drugs or medications for a while.

T+0:30 barely noticeable dizziness. It seems the tabs aren't too strong.
7+0:37 took another half
T+1:00 I feel slightly weird
T+1:06 took a second tab
T+1:30 I feel I need one more. Taking 3rd tab.
For now what I mostly feel is... being cold

T+1:50 The trip is getting stronger. I needed to read lyrics to a song I was listening to, I turned on W-Fi for a second and somehow got text messages from work. It disrupted my peace, they want to exploit me 24/7 though I’m not “on call” and it’s my day off. I am suddenly overwhelmed by anger… the word “company” – shouldn’t it mean we enjoy each other’s company instead of being together just for money, but hating and lying to each other?

T+2:00 I put on headphones and blindfold, enjoy awesome music and amazing closed eye visuals!

T+3:00 now I can say I'm tripping balls! Amazing open eye visuals, the walls in the room switch from green to red, everything is moving!
I think it's the strongest trip I've ever had and I feel great.

T+4:15 I come to realization how this world works. I create different versions of reality with each decision of mine. Let's say I have to turn left or right, I create two separate universes but my current consciousness stays with one only.

Therefore with every choice I pick between love and fear and thus make my world either a bit better or a bit worse.

I can choose love every time and thrive!

Again (similar to 2 other past trips) I perfectly understand quantum physics… how looking at things influences their state…

AMAZING VISUALS. I feel like I am inside a huge colorful metallic disco ball!

A thought pops up… To be happy you have to learn how to let go - everything including this life. Most people can't ever do it and even in their last minutes they try to hold on to everything. Many let go only mere seconds before death. I'll be happiest if let go right now.

T+4:45 I’m thinking about people I work with, people I meet… I decide to make more positive impacts in their lives.

T+5:00 I know this is by far the best of all trips I ever had (and I’ve had about 15).

T+5:45 my trip is getting weaker and I decide to smoke a little bit of weed, 1-2 small puffs

A few minutes later I am getting something called synesthesia. I can see sounds, I can hear colors. I see everything as floating energy and have a feeling I can see through walls and around me (though I am pretty sure now it was just a feeling). Weed plus LSD = WOW!
I am putting on headphones and I can see sounds flowing through space… kind waves with sharp edges, flowing in a magnetic ocean. So cool!

T+5:50 words and terms are being diffused, they mix in my heads and suddenly none of them means anything
I am trying to write something but it's hard as words lose their meaning…
It doesn't matter what I'll write…

After the weed I have moments where I sort of (not totally) forget who I am and where I am but what's really cool is it doesn't bother me, I am really calm and happy. I think this peace comes with experience, if this happened on my second or third trip I would freak out.

Then suddenly I start feeling all of my senses on, let's say, molecular level. I take a bite of something and like in slow motion I can feel single nerves from my tongue hitting by brain and creating flavor.
The same with vision, I see how patches of my rods and cones send signals to my brain and how my brain makes up an image.

Yes, MAKES UP, now I am absolutely sure our senses send us very little information; it's our mind that connects the dots and decides what we see. We can be easily fooled!

OH WOW I can see 5th dimension… at least the 4th !!! I see physical objects together with their timeline!

I am also absolutely certain (at the time, at least) that when focusing of something I can actually influence time flow. When I focus on present moment, time expands, when I focus on future, it shrinks!
And then… I suddenly understand what God’s universal love is… it is sort of a frequency and by being still we're able to get in sync with that frequency. I am always able to hear it if I don’t rush, if I take some time and sit still.

T+6:50 I rule the universe! I actually rule MY UNIVERSE... In my universe I am the only GOD. Everything else is not quite real and depends on my perception. At least in this dimension.

T+ 6:55 I think I can move my consciousness away from my head. I am trying to go into my wife’s head but every time I point my attention at it, I hear some sort of grinding sound. I can't do it, at least at the moment.

T+7:00 Visuals are still amazing. When I look at my wife, I can see her face but everything around her is melting, looking like liquid metal in which she is floating.

I have moments in which I feel like I am not a separate being, I am united, everything is one, it's a kind of ego death, but what still amazes me most that it's my first time when I really am not scared at all.

I think I'd normally be worried my mind won't get back to normal but now I feel happy and I trust everything will go well, whatever will happen will be good for me.

T+7:15 I smoked a bit of weed again.

I can see auras of all living creatures. I am looking at my wife and see she has different halos of different colors, surrounding her.

I can easily see her emotions, I have a feeling I can see her thoughts.
I'm telling her that, she's asking me what she's feeling or thinking and I'm telling her.

I'm looking at a plant and I can swear I can see it breathing and I can sense its energy! It's so amazing!

T+8:00 I have a new kind of synesthesia, I can see sounds, and also see flavor... I am eating a delicious meal and again I can feel every synapse firing, bringing information from my nose and mouth and eyes to my brain.

If I could always eat with such an amazing mindfulness s I would never ever eat junk as now I know that junk food basically kills your senses with huge amounts of fat, sugar and salt just to get a lot of dopamine bursts.

T+9:00 I am looking at a movie and I can see now human faces are far from symmetric. On the TV screen they all look pretty ugly to me.

My trip is now fading a bit.

T+11:00 I’m listening to music and suddenly decide all songs I'll be composing I will start with the bass line!

I’m asking my wife to help find one of our daughter’s vinyl records and I put it on. I am amazed with the quality of sound, high frequencies; the music is so alive to me as if I can see who’s playing and singing. I am asking my wife to get me a record player for my birthday

My trip is almost gone. No more visuals, I will go and listen to some music and cool down.

Then I get super hungry, eat like 2 different meals, 5 different snacks and 2 hours later drift to sleep, happy and fulfilled.
 
Yeh, I love LSD. Take The Red Pill! And We'll Show You Just How Deep The Rabbit Hole Goes. It Is, In Fact, ENDLESS.
 
Yeah - if I HAD to choose just 2 drug, LSD would be it (or, being peantic, a homologue).
 
Yah LSD ...what a unique compound.My last encounter was 1980 first one 1972...8 years of microdots clearlight (windowpane)numerous others from UK & USA.Pensioner now heading to who knows where....but i know where Ive been and remember it all like it was last week .
😁😁😁what a blast 🖒
 
Did anyone else know Casey (Freeblood)? A LOVELY guy but when he told me that his legal defence was 'well, alcohol is legal but I choose LSD so LSD should be legal', I cried.

His defence council (Rudi Fortson) told him (politely) to STFU! Casey TOTALLY ignored Rudi and served 18 years. Now, it has to be said that Casey's route really is excellent but we did argue. He insisted on using dipropylethylamine as a scavanger whereas I maintained that Hünig's base (N,N-Diisopropylethylamine) was a better option because steric hinderance meant that the acid being scavenged had to possess at least a LITTLE energy and so, with the acid forming the salt, it would push the reaction to the right.

I know, I know, this really is nit-picking.

Of cxourse, what Casey did NOT spot was a 1970s Japanese paper in which BOL-148 (2-bromo LSD) could be debrominated using LiAlH4. OK, yield was only 70% but it was a 1-pot synthesis and since he had to use preparative chromatography in any case, it presented no disadvantaged. I mean, OK, with Freeblood's amazing yields, he could argue that it was less efficient but truly, if you just forgot the purification, you still end up with a 70% pure product and none of the inactives are even slightly toxic in the doses involved in a sugar cube/window pane/blotter of LSD so it was more practical.

Casey - VERY clever guy; no common sense whatsoever!
 
You might be able to answer this.
You think these days more efficient ways of producing end product are used compared to 60s 70s ...
 
Do you refer to the Japanese route in which BOL-148 (2-btomo LSD) is reduced to LSD?

Well, if memory serves, the paper was published in the 1970s and their have been a number of advances in the dehalogenation of aromatic systems. What the paper does not make clear is what the 30% unreacted/side-product(s) are. If 100% of the compound is debrominated, it could be that the relatively energetic conditions used racemize the LSD into iso-LSD. In which case, the crystallization of the product will remove the inactive isomer(s). If there is 30% of unreacted 2-bromo-LSD left because repeated experiments showed that 70% was the highest yield, preparative chromatography will remove it and allow it to be used in the next batch.

I do not have the paper to hand but if memory serves, it's an article in Nature so details of the synthesis are omitted.

I think BOL-148 is a custom synthesis and so nobody actually has a sample of it stored. As Tihkal notes, their are multiple analogues and homologues and it is not clear if the 8-ethyl, 8-propyl, 8-allyl, 8-cyclopropyl (etc) homologues of lysergic acid are themselves controlled. Apparently not. If one has one of those to hand, the (S) sec-butyl amide & the (S,S) 2,4-dimethylaziridine amides are both MORE potent than LSD.

I have to hand it to Casey, he used a peptide-coupling reagent; PyBOP to be precise although their are multiple papers highlighting the use if every coupling reagent,
