Tell Me the Coolest Thing You Know About LSD

[heatlessbbq]

How the knock would the chemist know?

 

[perpetualdawn]

Because the chemist made it, and they measured everything and know how much went into the doses.

 

[Phobos]

How the knock would the chemist know?

Because he would know how much liquid was absorbed by each sheet, and how much LSD was in that liquid.

 

[heatlessbbq]

Can You please explain how this determines the exact dosage?

I have quite a career in this subject and I'd like to know exactly what You are talking about.

You have a career in LSD synthesis?

 

[heatlessbbq]

I have laid sheets, vials, and seen barrels [of all kinds] been pressed. Several times.

That time of My life is over. I have much research on it all...

 

[cryptix420]

Everyone, please do me and this thread a huge favor and start ignoring posts by heatlessbbq. It is seriously convoluting and poisoning this thread to dignify him with responses.

Remember, the only person who needs to prove their power is the one who doubts it.

On topic: I had a life changing experience on a fair dose of LSD a few years back. I was having a bad trip while hiking a mountain, and I stopped to put my hand on the Earth. In my mind eye, I immediately saw a vivid 'plugging in' happen between my body and the Earth. My trip was immediately transformed and enhanced, and it burned into my mind the serious power of Earthing. The Earth's crust is teeming with electrons and information that we are supposed to regularly connect with. The Earth knows all things and takes care of us. To this day I make a regular practice of Earthing. Read about it on Google - the benefits may shock you! How many of us go days or weeks without ever touching bare earth?!

 

[TripSitterNZ]

That story of earthing takes me back to some of my truly amazing trips where i put my hand to the earth and renounced all negativity and evil i truly felt enlightened for the hours afterward. I use to walk around in summer days in bare feet out at 1 am tripping in the park lying down in the grass watching the stars feeling very connected to life.

Let's say your sheet is perforated so as to give you 30 by 30 tabs, so 900 tabs in total.

If you experimentally verified that a sheet just like that will absorb x grams of your solvent of choice, you will need to dissolve the required amount of LSD for 900 blotters in X amount of solvent.

For 100ug per tab, you will need 100ug*900=90000ug=90mg of LSD.

So for 150ug per tab, you will need 150ug*900=135000ug=135mg of LSD.

For 200ug per tab, you will need 200ug*900=180000ug=180mg of LSD.

And so on.

After that calculation is done you need one more to compensate for the purity of the LSD.

So if your LSD is 90% pure, to have 100ug of actual LSD per tab, 90mg*100:90=100mg, for 150ug per tab 135mg*100:90=150mg, for 200ug per tab 180*100:90=200mg.

Now you just weigh the crystal and dissolve it into the x amount of solvent, and you are ready to soak the sheet and you will know how much LSD is in each tab.

I've been really curious about microdosing ibogaine too. I did an ibogaine flood dose back in 2014 and it was deeply transformative for me. I had an afterglow that lasted for a couple of years, it was crazy. But it's been almost 6 years and I definitely feel like a little ibogaine could be beneficial again. I don't think I want to take a flood dose (though I loved my experience, it was overwhelming... I would like to maybe have another one in my life sometime), but microdosing sounds promising. Actually I also want to experiement with moderate doses, enough to go into the dream/vision state but not be completely off my face for 3 days. Iboga is the most powerful dream/vision enhancer I've ever encountered. It's really something special.

From Bancopuma @ DMT Nexus :

Here is a guide for microdosing iboga that I helped compile with the guy who runs Reset.nu, I thought it may be of interest to some. It was made with TA tincture in mind, but also applies to the root bark as is. Microdosing is an accessible and low cost way of working with iboga safely and in a controlled manner for those that are curious and wish to work with the plant, and done this way it can be easily integrated into day to day life. It may also be wise for anyone contemplating a flood session with iboga to consider microdosing with the plant prior to this.

An iboga treatment provider told me that 500mg of root bark taken every four days works well as an anti-addiction treatment and antidepressant, and this can be taken in a '00' capsule for convenient dosing. Doses much lower than this will be effective, as the effects are cumulative. It is important to taste a tiny pinch of the root bark, so all your senses are able to experience the plant. It is important to set intent and state a positive affirmation on ingesting the root bark, and this is discussed below. This affirmation, in whatever form iboga comes in, is a vital part of the treatment not to be neglected.

Iboga (Tabernanthe iboga)

Iboga is an evergreen, flowering shrub, native to the rain forests of western Central Africa. The plant prefers well composted, well drained soils in a protected, partly shady position. Under the right conditions it can grow up to a height of 10 meters. The stem is erect and branching, its leaves are dark green, its flowers white to pink or yellowish, its fruits are orange and oval shaped. The magic of the iboga is to be found in the root bark, home to the powerful teacher that lingers in this extraordinary plant.

Historical Origin of Iboga Rites

For many generations, the iboga plant has played an important role for practitioners of the indigenous Bwiti religion in Central Africa. The Bwiti initiation rite to obtain spiritual maturity consists of the ingestion of a very strong dose of iboga, followed by an intense, mind-altering experience. Lower doses are taken during weekly ceremonies, as collective religious fervour, a moment for intense love and mutual understanding, while fuelling dancing and drumming late into the night. Through the iboga plant, the Bwitists feel that they strengthen their connection with the divine realm and experience a deep understanding for the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Bwiti is considered by its members as a universal religion, accessible to anyone who approaches it with respect and humility. Among the Bwitists, there is a widespread hope that one day the Bwiti and its iboga rituals will become known at the very core of western culture. A noble thought...

Iboga Therapy in Drug Rehabilitation

Over the past decades, iboga treatment indeed found its way into western practices. Professionally guided, intense therapy with iboga has proven to be extremely successful in curing drug addictions. Recent studies have shown that iboga reduces dopamine concentrations in the body, hereby reducing the affects of certain abusive and highly addictive drugs. The plant will have to undergo more clinical research in order to become an officially registered medicament, but so far the results have been promising.

Iboga as a Way to Personal Liberation / Freedom of the Soul

Iboga can play a powerful curative role but not only for drug addicts. Rooted in unpleasant past experiences and subsequent negative emotions, many of us are in one way or another caught up in patterns of thought and behaviour which limit us in our freedom. Those patterns are quite similar to addictions: despite their harmful character, we deceive ourselves into believing that they provide us a shortcut to comfort.

Iboga digs down into the depths of our mind. It will surface what is hidden and treasured, that what shapes us and keeps us in shape. Iboga can help any one of us to eliminate self-induced oppression, accelerate personal growth, and bring more joy to life.

Master Your Mind

Our environment nowadays demands us to operate on mind-based logic, it feels like there is very little space left to follow our hearts. Through the uncontrollable production of all kinds of thoughts, your mind is constantly influencing your behaviour. Don’t believe everything you think! The mind can be a useful practical tool, but should not be your guide.

The problem is that your mind feeds on old emotions and outdated information, thereby distracting your soul from its presence in the happenings of the now. The very Now is always New and should be experienced in total openness, allowing any new impulse to freely flow into your perception. You can be freed from your mind if you become aware of this dichotomy. Ask yourself: Who is this making me behave or react like this? Am I not free to have a new challenge and emotion in every new situation? Why should I be a slave to my thoughts, my preferences, my likes and dislikes, my... You, you are free!

Letting in the Spirit of Iboga

One possibility to let the spirit of iboga in is to take what is considered a full dose. The journey that follows is not a journey for the faint at heart. Though there are a number of guidelines which can be followed to minimize any risks, the experience will not be of an easy nature.

A more gentle way of communicating with the spirit of the iboga plant is to take in much lower doses. If used in the right way, tiny amounts of this powerful plant are sufficient to regain control over one’s thoughts and actions. I discovered a new technique for self-treatment with Iboga tincture, which will be explained further in this guideline. The experience of myself and others have taught me that treatment with no more than a few drops a day can be surprisingly effective.

The Iboga TA 1:50 Tincture

This tincture holds the essence of the iboga plant. Firstly, the root bark of the iboga is extracted into its purest form, being the combined Iboga alkaloids, while keeping the full spectrum of the plant uncompromised. Afterwards, the extract is dissolved in pure alcohol. The tincture that results from this technique is so strong that one drop suffices as one therapeutic dose.

A drop of iboga tincture contains 0.58 milligram of iboga TPA extract. This is the highest possible concentration pure alcohol can contain. The alcohol instantly carries the iboga extract into the bloodstream and the nervous system. One drop, entirely saturated with the iboga alkaloids, contains all of the plant’s properties, its spirit, its voice, and its vibration. This one single drop is your gateway to communication with the iboga spirit. However, to treat yourself successfully it takes a bit more.

The Properties of the Ibogaine

The special characteristic of ibogaine (after being converted to noribogaine, by the liver) is that it occupies the receptors which are urging you into the repetition of a behavioural pattern or addiction. That is what makes it effective even in the most serious cases of drug addiction. Most addicts are cured within a day or four, without any withdrawal symptoms and with little chance for relapse.

With the micro dosage therapy it is possible to send the tiny bit of ibogaine that is captured in one drop of the tincture to exactly that receptor which is responsible for the thoughts and behavioural patterns that are keeping you in their grip. This method works most efficiently if you use the strength of your spirit to guide the healing to the right place. By expressing a powerful affirmation or intent at the very moment the iboga enters your senses and nervous system, your voice carries the iboga and you give directions to the plant teacher via your intent. This technique is a combination of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and iboga therapy, between a very accessible, holistic approach to psychotherapy and the most powerful healing plant in the world.

Implications for Usage

With this self-treatment, you will pinpoint and reset one behavioural pattern or addiction at a time. Before you start with the drops, it is very important first to unravel your problem. Look into to the root of the addictive patterns in your thoughts and behaviour. Search for old emotions that have become embedded in your system along the way. It will take some time and practice to get deep enough and find the naked truth under the surface of your behaviour. Once you found the root, or the soil in which your habits are rooted, you are ready to formulate your intention in the form of a positive affirmation.

This affirmation must be exactly the opposite of what you discovered to be the root of your addictions. For example, if you discovered your base problem to be "I feel lonely", a possible affirmation could be "I am complete". An affirmation should not contain "I wish" or "I will" and it should not contain a "not". It should not affirm your current state.

Once you are sure you have located a troublesome emotion and its opposite positive affirmation, stand in front of a mirror and take a single drop under the tongue. Let the bitter, woody taste fully enter your senses and welcome the spirit into your being to do its healing. Do not wash down the drop with water, experiencing the bitterness is an integral part of the healing. Your senses will be immersed with bitterness while you say ‘yes’ to the spirit. Then, look yourself in the eyes, hold one hand on your throat, and express your intention. Firmly, use your voice and feel the vibration come back into your body while you see, hear, and feel yourself speak. The iboga travels into your nervous system, healing exactly the place you point it to.

Imagine the plant teacher simply closing the door to the old, hindering emotion. Remember, the mind has the tendency to make you believe in twisted versions of reality. Those mind-made lies are based on experiences from the past. While speaking your intention out loud, your voice overwrites the lie your mind has been misleading you with. While the thoughts your mind produces are constructed out of the past, the sound of your voice comes from and into the very Now. Sound is so much louder than thoughts. Feel the liberation from your past and the beauty of the Now.

Potentiating and manifesting

Other than this described technique to reset negative behavioural patterns, the tincture can also be used to connect and reconnect to the positive and bring good things in your life. Nothing is more powerful than ones intent he vibration you set before you start your day will definitely impact it.

Start your day in front of the mirror and set the positive vibe. You will experience the result all day. Where your mind would be constantly judging any situation and loop you into its trap of doubt or insecurity, your affirmation has already overwritten all negativity. My favourite affirmation for the day is: “Everything is good”. With this I have already decided that whatever comes that day has my full acceptance and approval, be it good or bad, I am in peace with the day. EVERYTHING is good. No mind-based misconception can go around that.

Examples of positive affirmations

I am complete
Everything is good
I am love
I am my self
Everything is light
I am happy
This day is perfect
I choose
My body is healing itself
Life is generous
I can do it
I am free
I am

Reset the Robot

Through your voice, your intention vibrates outwards into the entire universe. It becomes imprinted in the totality of the whole and resonates back to you. The iboga travels with your intention to exactly those receptors that were urging you to fall in repetition of the pattern you want to be freed from. Your intention or positive affirmation will keep those receptors occupied. You are healing yourself, you are no longer caught up in a loop of oppressive or destructive thoughts. You reset the robot inside you, the robot that defines the boundaries of how you think and behave, fed by emotions from the past, negative ideas of others, or media induced images of reality.

After a week’s time, you start to notice the freedom you have gained. You find the willpower to unplug from previous conceptions and discover you are free to make your own decisions. You find fresh soil for the roots of your being to extract new energy from and sunlight to grow towards your full potential.

When eliminating your old habits, it is very possible that other negative patterns come to the surface. After you feel like you have completely cured the problem you were focusing on, you can repeat the treatment with a new intention. This revolutionary technique allows you to work slowly and focus at one problem at a time. In the end, the tincture gives you the potential to surface all that needs to be dealt with and heal all that limits the freedom of your soul.

Warnings

Without an affirmation, the treatment is ineffective. If not used properly, with the wrong intentions, ingestion of the tincture may even cause damage. Make sure you spend enough time to dig into the soil of your emotions and find the roots of your behaviour. Don’t worry, you do not need to be a psychologist to get to these depths. All the knowledge you need lies inside yourself.

Iboga accumulates in the body. It remains in the body for more than 4 weeks. This means that all the drops you take within 5 weeks will accumulate and remain in the body until they slowly wear off. If the dose you take exceeds 10 drops a day, physical and psychological effects, and perhaps even disorientation and ‘trippy’ effects can occur. Be aware of that some people respond highly sensitively to a few drops only. It is important to listen to the signs of your body at all times and adjust your dosage accordingly. Do not take the iboga tincture before going to sleep. The plant gives you energy and might cause insomnia.

During the period you treat yourself with iboga, it is advised not to use any drugs and keep stimulants such as coffee to a minimum, as well as smoking tobacco or certain herbs. Your receptors will become very sensitive and you may have an unexpectedly strong reaction to them. Also, it is strongly discouraged to combine the healing of iboga with ayahuasca or other visionary or hallucinogenic substances. Lastly, iboga should never be combined with anti-depressant medication such as SSRI's, such a combination would be very dangerous.

Here's something I noticed recently about the LSD molecule.

Most psychedelics are structurally classified as either being based around an indole group (the tryptamine-based molecules like DMT, Psilocybin, etc) or being based around a phenethylamine group (Mescaline, MDMA, 2Cs). The LSD molecule is kind of a hybrid monstrosity, as it contains both an indole structure as well as a nearly-complete phenethylamine skeleton, with the exception of the amino radical NH2 replaced with a lone nitrogen.

I wonder why it is a hybrid [typtamine and phenethylamine]...

Isn't LSD a typtamine? I may be wrong. I am wondering...
Is LSD a typtamine or a hybrid between a phenethylamine?

LSD is a lysergamide. It contains an indole group which is also found in tryptamine, but the basic skeleton of phenethylamine can also be seen within the LSD molecule via the ethyl bonds off of the benzene ring to the nitrogen.

I've taken as much as 40 hits at a time. I used to procure large amounts so eating 10 tabs at a time really wasn't a big deal ever. Yeah you can trip on two or three hits but you can go into space on 10 buddy. but the strongest trip I ever had I actually got for my high school kid at my job years ago. I didn't think anything of it again he seemed like a d****** lol.

He got me seven hits. And I bought him three for the hookup. (I was his boss at the time)

I had 3 days off I ingested one and a half hits. Within 15 minutes I felt like my teeth were growing. For me that's the feeling I get around the 45-minute mark when it normally starts to kick in.

The s*** blew my f****** mind that night was the most intense mind-boggling trip of my life where I still learn something about myself. I have no idea what the dosage was it was on blotter it had some grateful Dead bear printing on it.

I was good for a year after that trip. It wasn't scary it was just a lot. Believe me when I tell you I felt everything. Every molecule in my body I can feel it independently vibrating. I could see and feel beyond a shadow of a doubt where I came from and where I was going although I had absolutely no idea where I was at the time.

The silence was deafening I could not speak I could not look I could not see for 6 hours straight. I just white knuckle the couch. My buddy put on some downtempo ambient music but when he saw my face he turned it off I just couldn't handle it.


I could be here all day and tell you about my breakthroughs on tripping but instead I'll come back every 6 months to a year and there's no way that we could cover all 1,000 of my trips in my lifetime.

That might be 10,000 human hours or Infinity trip hours. My log books are full.

 

[crazyhairman]

Oh and you might be interested to know that I run two successful businesses but have to use a spell check for everything because at some point I lost the ability to see words in my head.

. At the time of using LSD and other recreational drugs I was a manager at a fast food chain. Now I own a string of commercial properties as well as residential. I don't really have flashbacks anymore but I have dreams that are similar.

I'm a fairly positive person these days I mean it's hard not to be when you're don't really have to work anymore. Choose not to use drugs at the moment. For me psychedelics were a tool they were a spiritual enlightenment apparatus that I used when I felt like they would benefit me at the time. Now I feel that my time has passed for psychedelics and that I don't need them to feel stable anymore.

Feel both blessed and content with my past experience. And maybe when I retire or I have some other life-changing event come to pass I might seek another spiritual experience. Just for now I'm okay.

LSD had a valuable positive impact on my life. From my first trip to my last every single time there was some kind of beneficial lesson I learned. It taught me patience it taught me perseverance, acceptance of myself, belief, hope, and sacrifice. I'm talking to myself at this point.

It's kind of something that we all have in common once you reach a certain threshold. It could be from one hit it could be from a thousand hits. Once you reach that Albert Hoffman level of chillaxin you don't really need to continue experiments.

My glass is pretty much remained full.

 

[foodcrisis]

LSD 100% opens up acesss to the infinite multiverse allowing you to traverse the space time continuum on heroic doses.

does this mean that you can experience what other people from other parts of the universe experience in their reality? like you can see through other beings eyes that are in a different place?

 

[ageingpartyfiend]

It can make time...... stop!

That's pretty cool

 

[jasperkent]

I've always thought that one of the coolest things about acid is the tiny amount it takes to feel effects. Does any other drug beat LSD on this? I don't know of one.

Another cool thing is the ease with which it is absorbed. The ROA is harmless, in that you don't have to shoot, snort, smoke, or even swallow it.

High salvia extracts in that sense. I heard Terrence McKenna passionately emphasising this once

How per "one handbag", to "light up the whole of China" it's unchallenged except he argued by Salvia extracts. Crazily strong stuff too, I was too weak to go much down it's path I had some glimpses though often over exstacy and psychedelics and ket.

Real roller coaster lucid k hole. Alice in wonderland hallucinating believing powerless then over, phew I'm alive! lol. Having just lived out your fast ending convinced it's all real

What a gift next too, Life! I was so good! Strange that huh? Truly hallucinate your evil demise in unseen and magnificent ways, best actual mental therapy I've ever taken lol.

Is how Salvia works I guess. I think per "amount" top 3 were regarded at least as LSD, highest % Salvia extracts and 5-Meo-DMT.

What amazes ME about LSD is fact STILL zero recorded direct human casualties.

In all the decades. It doesn't need a great amount.

I bet 600 milligrams is near an LD100 or 75 at least.

A guy ate 40 mg's once, vanished found few months later in old warehouse rat nibbles lol but otherwise reported fine!

Lol what a trip, getting his shit back together again.


And that girl accidentally snorted 55 mg's to black out 12 hours vomiting bit first then no recall and better than ever

Longterm foot problem magically healed.


But one poor Elephant to my old knowing only actual record of direct death.

Some nice men in white suit I bet injected 300 mg's and it dropped right dead.


I'd not be surprised though if the Germans established solid human LD100 I know they learned 3.5 grams pure MDMA injected was enough to flatline a man.

I mean it was already synthesisable and 43 was it's official debut.


So it's safe, nobody died direct ever (?)

Buy can easily kill somebody with under 1 gram!

How many substances like this?

Huge and sincere respect man, and appreciation for sharing too.

Ofc no-one saying it's hip lol, to Tee-ripppp

But you've surely dropped more than myself by a likely margin.

Except bizarrely in 2020 after 24 yrs using LSD at high doses I truly reversed my tolerance to it.

As you say, past after a sleep or just time, no amount tabs will do shit.

Always was LSD's one real downside, for me.

So I reversed it by dosing daily all over park. 15, 25, 35, 50 was always superb!

Over microdosing. V noticeably psychoactive even those doses.

Occasional macros increasing.

Then 2021 Jan after break 18 day scurge, day 1 somehow genuinely handled 1875 mics like a breeze (???)

It never became mute. Days 930, 1130, 700 600 400's

Still sleep time, awaking feeling crazy! Everything too turned up!


Day 17 150 mics only, then day 18 155 in 3 doses half hr apart were the breakthrough trips.

So I went deep tripped all 21, 43 mg's (only lol) but without tolerance is another thing.


What you report there too, is exactly how my 1cP trips on 600-1000 mics were.

6 hrs knowing nothing of the self or 3D surroundings except short difficult moments.

Amazing real too I swear alter dimensional visions, views

Like a dream, I tried to quickly regain 3D lucidity because I KNEW it made sense I could easily carry if only


Such battle to awake to amazing swirly 3D visuals, maybe a wee, gone hours again.

Just blindingly smashed. Only the rise too. I like past there music loads weed myself.

Still again ALD stands out to me as more mystical and special

Visual in 3D kind of sense (not 3rd Dimension here, lol)

Longer, subtler therefore more transcending. 500 mics of that no more. At same time I one week took 2.7, 2.5 six days later. Of 1cP but I'd never have eaten 1 mg of ALD no f way.
