Pretty much every source I know around here claims that they have 'blotter soaked in LSD for 24 hours' and that each tab is 300 ugs. ;) I know them only as 'leafies' (stupid tripper jargon, blah, etc).

While it all sounds fantastical I am pretty skeptical and thinking it is way too good to be true. 8) I was always under the impression that the LSD was 'dropped' onto the blotter? Is it even possible to soak it in LSD? Particularly for such an extended period of time?

Peace.
 
Welcome to BL and PD! :)

This is actually the way blotters are usually laid. Sheets of blotter paper are soaked in a solution of LSD, then dried and voila.

300 mics sounds a tad on the high side, though. Tabs with such high LSD content are very rare these days, although not unheard of. Chances are the dealers are exaggerating the strength of the hits a bit.
 
Yeah, I've heard 300 is pretty rare "these days" and I'm inclined to think they aren't that much. People will say anything to make money. Never smile at a crocodile, I guess.

Oh, really? I was under the impression that these were exceptional for being produced in such a way :) Excuse my ignorance. I'm very green.
 
IME, anything over 200ug/blotter is generally the product of a one off, limited run by people laying the stuff who get a bit carried away and want to make a small amount of 'what the fuck' blotters? As such they tend to be a bit of a rareity to come across
 
Yeah, and they probably are not soaked for 24 hours. Why would anyone do that? It takes at max a few minutes for all the acid to get soaked into the blotter, so why would anyone expose the blotters to air and light for such an extended period of time? It doesn't make sense. It sounds like another version of "double dipped blotter", just a marketing trick...
 
I'm pretty sure they can only absorb a certain amount, with wouldn't take 24 hours. It would depend on the strength of the solution.

Or they'd have to be laid once, dried, then laid another time.
 
^ Where are you getting that information from? Think about how much LSD is sold every week, who has the time to drop on each blotter one by one? Obviously soaking the sheets in LSD solution is a much more time-effecient way and I don't see any reason why it would not be the preferred method for whoever does the laying.
 
Gee. Wasn't expecting so many responses. Thanks everyone. :)

I had no idea 'double soaked' blotter was also bullshit. What makes this so? Is it just impossible to do?

Also, I thought that it would depend on the concentration of the LSD in the solution it's soaking in as to exactly how strong the blotter would be?
 
^The LSD saturates the paper the first time its dipped; the blotter paper only has the capacity to absorb a certain amount of LSD, dipping it again won't increase the dosage.
 
Actually that kinda came out wrong. I'm high LOL. :D

I think the capacity of most blotter paper is well over a mg per 1/4" squared, but the LSD already on the paper go back into solution when dipped again, so it would only absorb the LSD equal to the concentration of LSD in solution per 1/4" squared x the thickness of the paper (you can figure this amount out w/ dimensional analysis).
 
I highly doubt I've ever come across 'dropped' blotters, though I have encountered people who worried about the substance distribution of the papers surface.
Dropping drops seems highly unpractical, and if you're already in the business of making sheets chances are you know what the bleep youre doing right?
 
Double dipping is NOT bullshit - Most blotter squares can absorb up to between 3 and 5mg of active compound. Once the sheet is soaked in the first wash, it will absorb the maximum amount of solvent it can, and however much LSD was in that much solvent. The solvent is then allowed to evap from the blotter by laying it on a perforated teflon sheet in the dark or under red darkroom light. Once dry, if the sheet is returned to the solvent tray it will absorb more solvent and bring with it more lsd. The trick however is not just throwing the tenpack into a tray of acid in ethanol, but rather to use the capillary lay or 'wicking' technique.
 
Uhm but if the blotter paper is not saturated why would you not increase the concentration of acid in solvent initially? If you know that your paper will absorb some volume of liquid you might as well cram the max amount of acid in there right away right?
 
Exactly, double dipping seems retarded in every way, unless you accidentally made the solution too dilute and have to compensate by dipping multiple times.
 
Well the amount of time it sits in LSD solution really doesn't change the LSD content. Unless it's long enough for some of the solution to evaporate which would be pointless as they could have just made it stronger to begin with. Like others said blotters with that high of a dosage are a rarity now a days depending on who you talk to.
