1V-LSD 150mcg experience report
This report documents my first time taking the brand new 1V-LSD to assess its potency at 150mcg and similarity to other lysergamides.

Set: in good spirits, expectations not very high despite being quite excited to be one of the first people to test this compound. I was not particularly well prepared mentally but I have reasonable experience with 1P-LSD, 1cP-LSD and AL-LAD and can generally handle 150mcg of those well.
Setting: at home by myself. Full stomach (ate a big salad 50 minutes before dosing). I have a very mild headache.
Dose: one 1V-LSD 150mcg blotter swallowed with water, as advised, to let stomach enzymes do the work of cleaving the rather long carbon chain that hangs off the LSD molecule.
I dosed at 8:30pm. I prefer tripping when it is dark and quiet.
+40 minutes first alert. A subtle (placebo?), sense of wellbeing presents itself.
+1 hour. The same feeling is still present but in no way do I feel any intensity building. I am not expecting this to suddenly take off.
+2. Not much change. A slightly fuzzy head and it feels like \~50ug of 1(c)P-LSD.
I spent the first two hours mindlessly surfing the internet until I made my first note that as expected, this chem is a dud. There was the classic LSD energy and 'fluffiness' but nothing visual or mind altering. Taking into consideration that my full stomach might delay things a bit I waited for another half hour and vaporised some weed to see if this would kick things off. Sure enough the weed affected me more strongly than usual and half an hour after that I started wishing I hadn't taken any!
+3. Suddenly it became obvious the onset is just long and that i probably didn't need weed for potentiation. Things started to get intense soon after. I have a pretty good idea of what 150mcg of 1(c)P-LSD feels like and this was definitely on its way to a similar intensity, which caught me off guard and prompted some minor anxiety. The visuals started getting more pronounced. Heavy colour saturation and pattern shifting was everywhere but stayed at a manageable level. An enormous amount of energy started building up and made my hands tremble as I attempted to type down notes. The stimulation was a bit uncomfortable along with some mild nausea and stomach discomfort which could have been due to eating prior to dosing. This was suddenly a solid +++ experience!
I have tremors and a lot of pent up energy. My mind feels jittery and all over the place. Some nausea and general discomfort has been there from the start but I can manage it. Drank some water, jumped around a bit and even played some games in VR but it was all a bit uncomfortable and too intense.
+5. I hadn't prepared for my trip well so I just listened to music for hours until some introspection suddenly demanded my attention. I had been laughing a lot at random internet stuff as well as at my own mental fabrications but the 1V made me aware of some repressed feelings of loneliness and pain which presented themselves like lightning strikes whenever I made associations between memories, alternating between happy, beautiful, heart breaking etc. In short moments of sadness I let my tears flow and allowed myself to be with the feeling of grief intently, without lingering too long. This is why I find LSD and its analogues to be so therapeutic sometimes. There is a ruthless directness to it. Things aren't sugar coated. It is just raw honesty. Maybe at times I felt slightly detached from my feelings and emotions whereas I might otherwise feel too identified with them, so this was useful and much needed.
Most of the spectrum of existentialist drama made an appearance: feeling inadequate, feeling sorry for myself, feeling that I don't honour my friendships enough and that I wish to strengthen relationships in general, that my self image needs working on etc. It wasn't all depressing though. I also felt deeply alive and capable of putting my mind to great things.
Besides all the emotional stuff, the 1V-LSD made me acutely aware that I am in poor physical shape and that this is having a serious effect on my mental health as well. I wrote ''I want to be better and I want to love without fear, I want to have a purpose in life''.
My back pain prompted me to step out onto my balcony in the cool damp air where another wave of regret hit me as I saw my gorgeous cannabis plants that I am treating as THC factories rather than the divine organisms they are. I apologised to my plants, kissed them, inhaled their incredible aromas and went back inside after trying to take some artsy photos, which proved impossible due to my shaking hands. I contemplated going cycling but I was too far out.
''Acid is good spirited but so wonky''
''I am selfish, ego driven, vain, attention and validation seeking''
''I can accept myself as I am regardless''
''I am a caveman''
My friends have lives/are asleep because none of them reply to my ranting. While I enjoy solo trips, acid does make me want to talk people's ears off.
+6. Let's vape some more cannabis.
+7. Look who forgot to vape cannabis. I am normally quite distracted and scatter brained without specific tasks to do and the LSD amplified this 100x.
+8. Deadly silence everywhere. Outside and inside. Standing in the door opening to the terrace I wonder ''Am I the only person who listens to music?''
RIP sleep as foretold.
I'm outside on the terrace again with my plants. I imagine myself a pitchfork wielding southerner protecting his crop, scanning the horizon for movement and listening intently to odd sounds in the night.

This piece blows my mind, again.
Music is my other companion. Kula Shaker, Zero 7, The Doors, Ott, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Massive Attack and a bunch of other great bands give rise to fantastic ideas and associations.
My cat is going a bit bonkers too I worry. She has been with me most of the trip and made my laugh so much.
Food! I break down standing in the kitchen eating a piece of smoked fish. First because it tastes heavenly, then a wave of emotions washes over me as I associate good food with good company and memories of late relatives, grandparents. Vivid images of what my identity is consists of, memories of a careless childhood, the good life, feeling at home, real life, ideal life imagined in retrospect, that is gone now and I mourn deeply. More food will comfort me. I'm eating a mix of greek yogurt, cacao and honey and entire stories were written in my mind.
+9. The speed with which my mind is still exploding is unreal. The energy that is created conjures images of the splitting of atoms. I am wide awake and the sun is coming up. No cheating I told myself so no benzo until +12.
+10. Spent an hour in feverish paranoia after finding out I forgot my router password. Resetting it was an ordeal no one should go through on LSD.
+11. Fuck it. I'm not waiting another hour. 0.5mg flualprazolam helped me fall asleep after playing some retro video games
Closing comments: there is no doubt in my mind that 1V-LSD is a prodrug of LSD like all the others before it. Since I had a single experience with 1B-LSD that I found disappointing in its intensity, I had low expectations for 1V-LSD and it ended up kicking my ass. The creator(s) of this compound made these blotters 150mcg with the expectation this should translate to roughly the potency of 125mcg 1(c)P-LSD. Subjectively it felt like more but that could be due to set and setting. I experienced a bit of everything and know that I still love LSD for many reasons.
Onset: 3 hours (with full stomach but it does make sense that the higher molecular weight and long carbon chain requires more time to be converted).
Peak and plateau: 3-4 hours
Comedown: about 5 hours and probably a fair bit longer had I not taken a benzodiazepine.
**TL;DR: 1V-LSD is an exciting new lysergamide that packs a punch at 150 mics. It is nearly indistinguishable from LSD and almost certainly a prodrug like other analogues.**
