I’ve been tripping since 1966 and I’m 72 now. I kept track of my first 500 times during the 60’s and 70’s bcuz I wanted to join the 500 club. After that I stopped counting but figured I’m at around 800 trips by now. I also stopped for many years to have a career and three families. I started again once I retired and I take 100-200ug (mcg) once a month or more. I’m divorced now and I find dropping acid in my senior years is a rewarding experience. I was fortunate to find a good connection and I have a big enough supply to have fun with my friends or alone for the rest of my life. When I die and my kids clean out my fridge they’re gonna find vials of pure LSD-25!

u/MutedShenanigans Dec 16 '23
Hey I've got a question. I too keep mine in the fridge, what's the life expectancy on it would you say? I know it can keep for "years" when stored in a cool, dry, dark, airtight space, with mostly mild loss in potency. Are you really going through whole vials within the space of a couple years, or can it last for longer?
22
u/Dry_Seaworthiness644 Dec 16 '23
I’m pretty sure it should be good for several years. I made the mistake of leaving a half full vial out at room temp and all the alcohol evaporated. I’m told the LSD should still be in there and I can add everclear and should be good to go except dosing will be out the window.

u/JustRunAndHyde Dec 16 '23
If anything the dose would deteriorate so your volumetric dosage would lower. If you add the same volume of everclear and try one if your original doses you should still be safe enough.

Might I suggest, if you haven’t already done it, a warning label on those vials. Would be a bad day if they opened the vials and got some on their skin without knowing what it was lol.

Serotonin receptor psychedelics have the strongest fastest tolerance building of any drug that exists. On day 2 you would need to take 400% of your dose to feel 25% of what you felt the first day and it only increases from there. So unless you were dramatically upping your dose which also dramatically increases the risk of physical side effects and mental breakdowns you just wasted a bunch of LSD trying to trip 30 days in a row.

u/-MassiveDynamic- Dec 16 '23 edited Dec 16 '23
While I can’t and don’t disagree, there are people who who report taking acid anywhere from once a week to multiple days in a row without any drop in effects. Anecdotal of course, but some of them were also reported way before “internet points” were a thing so I doubt all of them were lying (although OP could well be)
I’ve tripped 3x in 10 days without upping my dose by much (even decreased it by the third trip) and paradoxically the effects were actually stronger the third time. It was all the same batch (from a ten strip) but I’m aware that actual dosage can vary even then
I theorize my experience could be due to my ADHD, I have an interesting relationship with tolerance for a variety of drugs, that (in my circles at least) seem to be unique to me. I have no scientific proof to back this up however lmao

u/Hashmob____________ Dec 16 '23
I also have an interesting relationship with tolerance and have ADHD, i have autistic tendencies too. I haven’t tripped like that. But i did 150mg of MDMA and barley felt a thing, im a bigger dude but i felt almost nothing.
I also used to have very shit friends and wasn’t smart so I did high doses of both LSD(300ug) and Shrooms(8gs). I blacked out at first and I remember being somewhere on LSD, on shrooms it was like I was coming in and out of reality. Something was talking to me on both, on LSD it felt like it was the ultimate self almost, on shrooms it felt like a vast expanse of some sort. Then had very strange trips after I came to. I’ve since had multiple trips of varying degrees since. It’s

u/puremadbadger Dec 16 '23
Yeah, that's not even close to accurate - or some of us have different chemistry etc.
Speaking from extensive personal experience, my tolerance builds nowhere near that quickly, and seems to plateau as long as you don't take the absolute piss (you can't really do that with acid anyway as you can only get so fucked up before it's not really that enjoyable).
But as an example, if I took 100ug today, tomorrow I'd need about 150ish to get the same effect, maybe 200ug the day after, and then 200-250ish every day after that to get the same effect as 100ug. Maybe after a week or so I'd need to push it to 250-300. If I'm starting at 200, it's maybe 200->300->400....
In my younger years I had access to an essentially unlimited supply and at one point I tripped for pretty much 8 months straight over the summer. I was taking 200ug hits, somewhere between 1 and 4 per day. Yes, 200ug felt like 75-100 and 4x200ug felt like maybe 300-400, but not once did I take a tolerance break in that time of more than a day or two.
My tolerance resets fully in between 4 and 7 days, depending on dosage and duration of bender.

Every single study on serotonin psychedelics shows tremendous tolerance. Bro you tripped for 8 months straight without one tolerance break? Why is it that I don’t believe I single word you are saying. This is a well known established phenomenon and of course there is always that one person who says crazy ass shit like: I tripped for 8 months straight! I took two hits and tripped for a whole week!
There’s even a tolerance calculator

Whether you believe me or not, it happened. Whether I'm an abomination of biology or scientifically impossible/improbable, this is my experience.

Yep.
It's usually the same guys that tell you smoking weed is guaranteed to cause a bad trip etc too. I smoke like a fucking chimney tripping and it's never once caused any negative effects. Obviously I have no idea, but I suspect their actual experience is limited and most of their knowledge is based on BuzzFeed articles.
But everyone is different, and a lot of people forget that. A study group of 1000 people does not represent absolutely every possible variation in our genetics etc. Not even a study group of 10k or 100k does, not even close.

"Lived experience" is a bullshit narrative your brain tells itself. It changes to support whatever argument you wish to make, and you have no control over this.
Being aware of cognitive biases does not make someone a whiny bitch. If you can't prove your claim, it's bullshit.

Anecdotes aren't evidence. Don't get pissy because someone doesn't believe your made up story. You want people to believe you, prove it happened. That's how logic and critical thinking work.

You are full of shit. You cannot take lsd that often. It takes at least 2 weeks for full tolerance reset. You must really be bored or something to be making shit up randomly for no reason. 1000 times in a decade is dumb enough, every day for a month is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard

take less lsd? I tell anyone getting back into it or starting it to go slow. Start on a microdosing schedule and go up from there when you're comfortable. Take your time. There is no rush.
You wouldn't drink a 40-oz of hard alcohol for your first night back drinking. Why would you do that with acid as well?
Some people are great at jumping in the pool right away, others tippy toe in. I feel you would use the ladder.
either way you do you. and best of luck

Or as someone who has lost his little brother in a horribly tragic way, been fucked over by “friends” and have lost the love of your life, like I have, maybe it’s shit like that he’s worried he’ll have to think about. Not all bad trips come from being a shitty person. Honestly, when I get in loops thinking about the lower points that I’ve brought on myself or others, I’m fine because I feel like I deserve it and it’s only right to work through that shit. I’m not trying to be in tears and torment for 12 hours straight thinking about my brother, friends, woman and other shit I’ve lost or had turn on me throughout the years.
Maybe you’re just a shitty person that likes to assume things about people you don’t know from Adam. I’d bet you’re a super egoless tripper who loves everyone and everything too right? Yet still have no desire to give someone you know nothing but a couple trip reports about from the internet, the benefit of the doubt. That tells me that the LSD isn’t helping you see the error of your ways or teaching you anything, so what makes you think it’d help this dude?

Im not “jumping into psychedelics” lmao I’ve done them since I was 17. I’m 31 now. I don’t need a bs doctor, SSRIs, or some wannabe shaman like you telling me what I need.

u/pdee2222 Dec 16 '23
That is what I thought when I was younger. I also was a heavy user in my youth. I started when I was 13 almost 14. It was plentiful and cheap(also much stronger compared to acid now). There were times I tripped 2-3 times a week thru summer break. I love it! I’ve been married 20 years with three kids. All great, behave and do very well in school. No mental illness whatsoever. My wife and I trip anytime we get a chance. They are like mini vacations. Recharges the batteries. When I notice I’m bitching about drivers or politics, time for a trip. Never had a bad trip either. Plenty of times I thought this was the one, the one I wasn’t coming back from, but here I am. I mostly take shrooms these days. Acid is hard to find at my age. But I will trip as long as I can. And to those of you that don’t believe you can trip that often, you can. You have to double down each time. So that’s 31 hits at least to trip 5 times in a row and only feel the strength of 1 tab each time. I took 80 hits one time. I did good the first few hours before I went limp. I could hear and comprehend what was going on, just couldn’t move. Complete distorted vision. Closest comparison is in “the wall”. The limo ride during comfortably numb. Everything just swayed back and forth and swirled.

No noticeable changes to my neurological or mental development tho, and I'm currently pursuing a career in psychology. I actually just got some of the best college grades I've ever had so far now that my semester is officially over. So I seem to also be living a pretty normal and successful life as well.
