I don't doubt the blotters are proffesionally and generally evenly laid - that still doesn't mean that a few sheets could be unevenly laid by accident, especially if production is under pressure.
That you inspected one or two sheets and found them evenly laid, can't be used to conclude that there doesn't exist any sheets at all with hotspots. You can only use it to conclude, as you say, that they are proffesionally laid.
Anyway, isn't it possible that both theories could be at play at the same time?
Something like Al-laddins 500-700 ug experience from a single blotter could be due to a hotspot, as well as his metabolism that day. You honestly can't rule that out by looking at your own blotters with a microscope. While other cases of people getting inconsistent effects from the same sheet could still be solely down to metabolism.
I don't think we can conclude anything,
You are missing my point, not only are all the sheets I have inspected been evenly laid, but the reason I pulled out the microscope was because of the fact that one of the sheets in question had produced WILDLY varying amounts of potency.
After literally having one of the most, and this is not hyperbole, out of this world and completely leave-reality-behind trips from 1 and 1/2 blotters when previously consuming four left me with so-so effects, as well as the fact that sometimes the compound seems to follow the rules of regular lysergamide tolerance, and sometimes it does not, led me to want to see if there was any kind of clues pointing to hot spots.
So, it's not like I just grabbed some random sheets and checked them, although I did in fact check all of the ones not in mylar sealed airtight, which is frankly, not a statistically insignificant portion, considering there are QUITE a number of them, and procured from differing vendors from different production runs at different times.
To be precise, I first and foremost, literally with a microscope inspected the sheets that I had bona fide proof were exhibiting the anomalous properties we are discussing here, and in EVERY CASE, the blotters have been consistently laid, which means that we have an incredibly strong indicator that evenly laid and properly dosed blotters are causing massively differing amounts of psychedelia.
Sure, there are probably a few sheets out there that may be slightly unevenly laid, especially when talking about the volume we are seeing here, but the fact remains that in literally every single case where there have been either disproportionately weak or strong reactions to a in theory well calculated dose, when I have been able to inspect the sheet, it has been METICULOUSLY professionally laid and completely even.
