We were discussing the strength of LSD in a gabapentin thread so I figured we could continue the conversation in PD.
Here is what I know based off of how I grew up. My Older brother (RIP) was a Deadhead in the 70's and of course it did not take me long for me to also like the music and scene. There were tours usually Spring, Summer and Fall. Very easy to get LSD for pennies if you went to a show. In fact it was probably the only drug not sold for profit back then. It was more like a seeding. Each tour would see new batches and thousands of sheets. It seemed like after a 3 night run in a city, that city would be seeded with LSD and almost cleansed each time. Back then you mostly got quality acid from Deadheads. It was a close knit community, so no need to fake hits. But back then you either got good quality OR blanks. That was it compared to today with the NBomes and other chems.
Anyhow I think a lot of hits were about 75 -150 mics average. Once in a while very strong hits would be around. In 1992 I was given some hits from my biker friend who "claimed" he knew Owsley and these were his. He got them from a Shoreline show. Of course I was like yeah right, whatever. He did know some people but I brushed it off. Said they were 500 mic so be careful. So I was, I took 1/4 of the tab and had a full blown trip. Thank God I only took a quarter. So who knows what the truth was with that and whatever Owsley was doing. But I think what I am trying to say is most hits were in a lesser range. Also back then any non Deadhead friend that liked acid would acquire it from a Deadhead. They even know when the band was in town. Blew in like a circus and knew hits would be around.
We were discussing Reddit and information.
@QuasiModo had mentioned the LSD reddit forum has some young people that think they do 600 mics when in reality probably only do 75 mics. So trying to put out good info we started talking about the strength of hits.
When I was younger I could take many hits. Had become use to tripping just about anywhere and did large doses at times. 600 mics will usually crush a person without a tolerance. 75 being the start of a full blown trip.
Fasts forward 45 years later, LSD can be had from a lot of different places. And now mushrooms too. But the info on strength should be more factual so us BL people are kicking around the notion. I have no doubt that hits can be stronger than 100 mics. But most are either that or less. The notion that a DN vendor is selling 250 mic hits seems comical to me. Although some of you may have gotten some that strong. I think people think they take more mics than the actually do.
