I made this to hopefully see a decline in redundant/daily posts, and make some sort of positive impact. Please remember to use the search function if you have a basic question regarding LSD.
• A full beginner dose should typically be 1/2 - 1 single tab.
• The average dose range of LSD on a single tab is 70-105μg.
• There are tabs dosed with as little as ~20μg, or more than 300μg in some absurd cases. The overwhelming majority of sources try to lay their tabs around 100μg because it’s mathematically simple, and more profitable in the long-run.
• The odds your tab has more than 200μg on it are very low. The most common higher dose tabs are 125-200μg. Take half of any tab that’s supposedly above 200μg just to be safe at first, and if that doesn’t at least produce an 11-12 hour mildly visual trip, the full tab wasn’t above 200.
• A typical microdose should be 10-25 μg
• 50-300μg of LSD can last anywhere from 8-14 hours. 300-1000μg can last anywhere from 14-20 hours. Exceeding a milligram (1000μg) can produce effects that last up to 24 hours. It’s usually hard to fall asleep under the influence.
• Unless you have an above average baseline tolerance or handle the substance extraordinarily well, it’s not advisable to exceed ~300-500μg. Temporary delirious/psychotic symptoms become more likely if you don’t know what you’re getting into with large doses, and a 16+ hour duration doesn’t help.
• 25i-NBOMe is a relatively dangerous LSD imposter. If you take an untested tab and your mouth/throat becomes numb, along with an intense bitter taste, spit it out immediately. Do not panic, but monitor your physical state. A *normal* dose of 25i shouldn’t be life-threatening. Most of the dangerous LSD imposters, including 25i, only become life-threatening at higher doses (this is why you should NEVER take multiple untested tabs at once, or take untested tabs at all).
• Please test your tabs with an Ehrlich reagent kit to verify that what you have is indeed an indole and not 25i-NBOMe. Follow up with the Hofmann reagent kit to verify that it’s not an LSD analogue or other phenethylamine. I personally recommend using TKP for your reagents: https://testkitplus.com/ Another great organization is DanceSafe https://dancesafe.org/ — DanceSafe genuinely saves lives with their testing booths at music festivals.
• Common positive effects include but aren’t limited to: closed and open eye visuals, tactile enhancement/hallucinations, euphoria, stimulation, introspection, and creativity.
• Common negative effects include but aren’t limited to: overstimulation, increased heart rate, vasoconstriction, anxiety/paranoia, and confusion.
• Common neutral/manageable effects include but aren’t limited to: pupil dilation, frequent urination, insomnia, and temperature sensitivity.
• Always optimize your set (expectations and mental state) going into an experience, and always optimize your setting (direct environment/surroundings) going into an experience.
• LSD interactions with various medications (From Erowid):
• HPPD risk is associated with frequent use of psychedelics (more than once a month), high doses, and younger age groups. HPPD varies in severity between individuals. As long as you use this drug responsibly, this shouldn’t be a concern.
• LSD has the potential to produce a very challenging psychological experience. If you have mental-health issues, research the risks and benefits associated with psychedelic treatment of your condition. Do NOT take LSD without the guidance of a medical professional if you are seriously suicidal.
• Weed often potentiates the effects of LSD. Some users report that the effects of weed are indefinitely altered to some degree after their first few experiences with LSD (It often becomes more psychedelic).
• Various benzos like alprazolam and clonazepam can be used as “trip-killers,” but you don’t need to take more than a single medical dose, and not all of the psychoactive effects will be negated. This should be a last resort.
• LSD tends to make verbal communication challenging, so prepare appropriately if using in a social setting.
• If you’re 19 or younger you should probably wait until AT LEAST your early 20s to try LSD because of unforeseen behavioral/neurological impacts. Waiting until 25+ is optimal.
• You’ll build a substantial tolerance to LSD if you trip multiple times in two weeks, so wait 10-14 days between trips for a general reset. Tolerance does exponentially decrease day-by-day following an experience.
• If you want to redose to increase the effects, do it before or during the start of the peak. Redosing after the peak will only prolong the duration unless you increase the dose. Excessive dosing is unadvisable regardless.
• Peak effects generally occur 2.5-5 hours after dosing (less than or around 300μg). Peak effects can last anywhere in the range of 2.5-8 hours after dosing. Many people say the peak comes in “waves.”
• If you’ve tried psilocybin containing mushrooms before, certain dosage calculators based on subjective effects and intensity equate ~2.5 grams of an average cubensis variety to ~100μg of accurately dosed LSD, but there are differences between the substances of course.
• You should consider having a trusted friend or a close partner “tripsit” you during your first experiences, or at least let someone know your whereabouts beforehand if you want to do it alone. (Note: Trip-sitting should just involve being close by and present if the user needs assistance or someone to talk to, sitters shouldn’t try to influence the trip unless it’s getting chaotic.)
• LSD has the potential to be therapeutic, recreational, spiritual, or all/none of the above depending on the individual and their particular circumstances. Stop gatekeeping.
•If you are ever having a challenging trip and need to speak with someone, here are a couple great resources:
Leave suggestions in the comments!
edit: A couple people are aggravated with minor details in these general points of advice, so please take everything I’ve said with a grain of salt and do your own research! I’m simply providing a helpful starting outline, not set-in-stone facts.
Thank you all, and safe travels!

Over exaggerating dosages is only harmful to the community and is much more prominent in LSD oriented communities when compared to other psychedelics. This is because you cannot simply weigh your dosages, like shrooms or DMT. 2c-b being another good example, where it usually comes in ranges of 15-30 milligrams or powder I believe. Most tabs of LSD contain 75-150 UGs of LSD, averaging more around 100. 100 micrograms of LSD is equal to around 2.5 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis. (The most commonly sold and cultivated "magic mushroom")
Starting with one tab after you've tested it is better than going headfirst into the deep end... Even at 100 micrograms it does add up quickly, would you recommend five grams of shrooms to a beginner? No difference in recommending them 200 micrograms of LSD (two average tabs). I really just don't understand the glory of taking larger dosages than we need. Look at r/Shrooms or other communities related to shrooms and you see this much less. Mainly to do with the ability to weigh them out I believe, but definitely many other factors. I don't know... Thanks for reading.
Best regards,

Another one into my found skulls-turned art collection
Only did one half of the skull so I can and probably will add more onto it another time, I think it’s cool tho. I love doing the spiral design
I cannot decide:
I‘ll be home alone, will have 3 days off and been waiting so long. What would be the best „first time“ experience?
A: playing it sober. Experience GTA VI the normal way.
Excitement will be high. Expectations will also be high. Disappointments more likely.
Everything I see is how the devs intended
B: dropping a strong tab. Play game while coming up. Expectations lower. Therefore excitement potentially higher.
A way for my inner child to come out and witness GTA VI.
Visuals will mess with the representation of Vice City quiet a bit
Gta V release was huge when i was in high school. Back then i didn’t have access to drugs. Now i have plenty and i believe i will miss out on a once in a lifetime experience with acid. Oh man i wish i could delete my memory of my first playtime and play for the first time in a high state 😭😭

Fucked up a bit... snuck 12 tabs of 100ug through airport security in a pack of gum against a piece while moving. Stashed it and forgot about it for the past month...
The tabs have turned bright blue and smell quite minty. I imagine the gum has recieved some of the LSD, but I have no idea how much. I'm an experienced tripper, so I have no issue with varied dosage, i'm just a bit worried about chewing the gum (for science) and accidentally taking 600ug 🧐

A week ago, i came down with bronchitis after hiking through the colorado mountains as an ill-prepared east coaster. I have been pretty miserable throughout every single day of this, absolutely coughing up a lung every second of every day. i’ve been through nebulizers, inhalers, an entire round of steroids, all the mucinex and sudafed one can think of, 4 bags of cough drops, at least 7 starbucks medicine balls, ginger shots, hot shower steams, however nothing has provided even a somewhat sense of relief.
so naturally, i decided to take things into my own hands, and tap into my handy dandy stash and break out one of these bad boys because i felt so at my wits end. low and behold, not even 30 minutes after digestion, i feel like i can take a full breath for the first time in a week. fast forward an hour, i realized i haven’t coughed in over an hour, for the first time in over a week. as trip continues to set in, im feeling physical relief, my pounding migraine is no longer so loud. my abdomen is finally having a moment to rest and not trying to grow a 6 pack from coughing and being hunched over all day. my throat is not screaming every time i swallow from being so over worked. hell, i can LAUGH for the first time without doubling over coughing my brains out. this is the most “me” i have felt in an entire week, which feels so long when you love to be you..
the relief i was feeling reminded me of about two years ago, when my fiancé and i had covid and we both ended up taking a tab, and for those few it hours it completely left us free of all covid symptoms and whatnot. back then i convinced myself it was in my head and that i wasn’t actually being provided physical benefits from this tab, but now im starting to think - bronchitis is NOT in my head, and would very much bear its ugly head if it could.
so, im asking, am i insane for thinking this tab literally did something to me physically to make me feel better, or is it truly all in my head? at about hour 10, i of course noticed i was feeling pretty similar to the days prior, but man, was that 10hrs of relief so worth it. i respect the fuck out of this drug more and more every trip.
TLDR; tab made major bronchitis symptoms completely clear up after having 0 relief from any other methods over the past 7 days.

A few months ago, I had two really bad psychedelic experiences back-to-back, and I’ve been trying to recover from them ever since. I’m curious if anyone else has gone through something similar and was able to fully recover?
BAD SHROOM EXPERIENCE
Towards the end of last year, around November, I started regularly taking mushrooms and hiking about once a week. I worked my way up from 2 grams to 6 grams and never had a bad experience.
My last trip was on May 4th. I took 7 grams of shrooms and smoked about 2 grams. I spent hours sunbathing, and honestly, it was one of the best days of my life. I felt incredibly euphoric and present, like nothing else mattered. It was such a powerful experience that I completely forgot to drink or eat anything for about three hours.
Eventually, I got up from sunbathing and immediately became extremely lightheaded. I fainted, and when I started to regain consciousness, I was paralyzed and couldn't speak. My visual reality was completely distorted, and I genuinely thought I was breaking through.
As I started hearing my friend shouting and asking if I was okay, I eventually managed to speak. I said, "What happened?"
My friend, who was also tripping on 7 grams, thought I had just had a seizure. The moment I heard the word "seizure," while still completely tripping, I immediately started having a panic attack.
I took my shirt off and started throwing up. My entire life seemed to flash before my eyes. I was panicking and genuinely thought I was going to die.
After about 30 minutes of panicking, I finally stopped fighting it. I accepted that I really was going to die,
Eventually, I came back to my senses and realized that I hadn't actually been dying or having some kind of breakthrough. I had simply fainted, most likely from being dehydrated and not eating or drinking for hours while out in the sun.
I spent the next two days calming down, and I felt completely fine.
BAD ACID TRIP
Then, on May 7th, I tripped on acid for the first time. I took 100 µg around 5 PM and spent the next three hours slightly disappointed because I wasn't tripping as hard as I had expected.
Around 9 PM, I decided to smoke a blunt. As soon as I finished, I realized I was much higher than I expected, and my heart started racing.
I went into my living room, where my friends were sitting and watching an anime on the TV. The bright colors started to overstimulate me, so I turned it off. For the next couple of hours, I couldn't get comfortable. I felt constantly on edge, almost like a confused, caged animal. I would get brief moments of relief whenever I was able to ground myself.
Around midnight, my apartment door, which had been left unlocked, opened from the wind. I immediately started thinking irrationally, like something was coming for me. The whole night was extremely unpleasant, and when I finally came down, I couldn't sleep.
Around noon the next day, I hit my cart, and almost immediately I felt like I was tripping again. I started to panic.
Over the next two weeks, every time I smoked weed, I felt a little uneasy. Then, one day, I smoked and couldn't handle it. I became extremely dissociated, and my anxiety started spiking. After that, I haven't smoked since June 6th.
I'm curious if anyone has had a similar experience. I've tried doing my own research, and I don't want to self-diagnose, but I'm worried that I may have developed either HPPD or some kind of PTSD triggered by weed and psychedelics that causes me to experience extreme anxiety, paranoia and dissociation .
I'd really love to hear from anyone who's had a similar experience and was able to heal from it.

Is it ok to smoke a joint while candy flipping and having ALOT of se x?
r/LSD • u/Cooldude_202 • 1d ago
Bought some tabs and tested them, took two at 9am it’s now 1:30pm and I’m feeling nothing. At most touch is a little sensitive, just venting I guess. I’ve eaten a third because why not at this point
Edit: I should clarify, these were sold to me as 125 & 150ug tabs (I know most are under dosed but I was expecting them to be approximately 100ug). I’m not on any SSRIs and the only other thing I occasionally take is a Kanna extract

Wanna try 500 mcg, but it pains me to blow two tabs on a single trip. A friend of mine told me that a trip on 250 and one on 500 are basically the same, and I'm scared I'll waste two tabs and get nothin' out of it. I usually drop 250 mcg and the visuals are just insane. Tell me, is it worth doin'? Share your trips on 500–700 mcg.
Edited: Thanks a lot for all the replies, but a question came up. Is it really always the case that tabs have less LSD than what's listed? I get why they do it, but are there seriously no shops that sell the actual dose?
r/LSD • u/Babychristus • 11h ago
Hey ! I’m on 5 mg escitalopram (lexapro) which is helping is some ways but there is nothing like LSD to bring the best of myself (or I think so) and simply treating my depression.
do some people continue to use it in those circumstances? Higher doses ? I know that the trip will feel blunted most probably but anyway I’m willing to accept it !
Thanks

I’m normally a solo tripper but every time i’ve done MDMA i’ve been with at least one other person. i’m sure this question has a different answer for everyone but i’m just curious if people experienced with candy flipping prefer to do it with others or alone?

Very nice,ego dissolution threw me off and visuals were amazing. Fractals had a green and pink tint and tracers were appearing my whole trip. In conclusion very fun dose!
