There are a lot of misconceptions about LSD, especially when it comes to dose. A lot of folks don’t realize how powerful LSD really is, and thus buy into the microgram hype street dealers often perpetuate. A lot of doses aren’t laid that strong these days. There are people getting 14-20 ten-packs out of a gram of LSD crystal. That used to never happen. The standard was 10 ten-packs per gram of crystal, sometimes using 1.25 grams of crystal to lay out 10 ten-packs.
Purity of the crystal plays into this as well. Doses are laid to certain dosage of LSD crystal per hit. If we’re talking amber crystal that limits the dosage. Amber crystal is generally around 60%-70% pure. So if someone is laying some, let’s say 65% pure amber at 100 mics a hit, each hit will only be about 65 mics per. If it’s fluff or needlepoint crystal those hits will be at least 95 mics per. I’ve seen a batch of fluff as high as around 99% pure, confirmed by GC/MS. If laid right, doses utilizing those crystals will be good & potent. However, as I mentioned previously, things aren’t the same, and I can say with confidence (as well as sadness) that many people are laying doses to 50 mics a piece with fluff & other crystals.
The average hit these days ranges from 40-80 mics. The really good one hit shit is a legit 100 mics. Some of those euro doses may be as high as 125…….but nowhere near the 200, 300 mic levels they’re being sold as. A lot of people don’t believe me when I say this though. A lot of people can’t seem to believe that 100-125 mics can have such a powerful effect. I refer those people to some of the studies done back in the 50s & 60s. Dr. Janiger’s in particular. Dr. Janiger generally used a standard of 2 micrograms per kilogram of body weight. That’s not a very high dose. For example; someone weighing 160 lbs would be given a dose of 145.152 mics, possibly rounded up to 146. A lot of those trip reports are wild; full blown psychedelic experiences, with many religious/spiritual awakenings. There are also some duds. LSD effects everyone differently, and some need more than others.
I don’t want to get into too much detail, especially considering I’m new here, and I have no wish to break the rules. However, some years ago I was in a position to know exactly what type of LSD crystal my doses were, as well as the exact micrograms per dose. I’m no longer in this position, and I rarely even use LSD anymore. It’s more of a reminder/nostalgia thing every now & again. I feel as though LSD has taken me as far as it can, and now is the time for other entheogens to work their magic.
I’m a hardhead when it comes to LSD; my first psychedelic experience was with a high dose of LSD (full ego-loss & rebirth) and that set the stage for my future usage of LSD. So my opinion on the matter varies from others. I know people that can under 100 mics & have wild times. Not me.
From talking with many people that have taken known amounts, here is a general list (obviously some folks will differ) ;
50mics – definitely high, electric feeling, altered thinking. Beats smoking a bowl IMO.
100 mics – definitely tripping, electric feeling, mind-state is definitely psychedelicized…sometimes to an incredible degree. Visually active; trails, patterns, colors, breathing & melting.
200 mics – Fully psychedelic, visuals become 3D, marked synesthesia, OEVs become much more obvious & enfolding, ditto for CEVs, incredible thinking patterns, memory recall, figuring stuff out. Possible ego-loss, possible spiritual awakenings/religious experiences.
300 – 500 mics – More of the same, but with much greater intensity. OEVs & CEVs are absolutely incredible. Close your eyes & forget where you’re at. Forget you have a body. Time warps. Ego-loss pretty much guaranteed. Spiritual awakenings, religious experiences, rebirth, etc. Overwhelming. Unable to see through the visuals at times. Experiencing death & rebirth
500 + mics – more of the same, but with a greater intensity. Living past lives, entering other worlds, expanding across the cosmos
1000+ mics – More of the same, but with greater intensity, reliving every moment, though, feeling, action, etc of your life. Dying and melting into the All. The White Light experience. Indescribable really.
Some people experience what I wrote for the last two dosages on far less. I just leaned more on my own experience, and that of others that were deep into the thing because most people don’t take nearly that much. All of us that do are very experienced, and hardheads when it comes to LSD.
As far as the old tails about 20 hour trips off one microdot? Maybe it wasn’t LSD. I’ve taken a lot of LSD in my life. I’ve had plenty of LSD that was as pure as it can get, and yes I mean just as pure as Sandoz. I’ve also taken LSD that was extremely impure. You can feel it. I know it’s a big debate whether purity can really affect the trip or not, but IME it does. That’s my experience, take what you will from it. I’ve never had a peak from LSD alone last more than 6 hours, usually it only lasts around 4 hours, then there’s a steep drop off & I’m high for another 6 hours or so. With 1000+ mic doses it’s a little different. Same timeframe/drop off, but it’s far more gradual. The comedown off of that is still really visual for a while. Whereas if I eat, say 300 mics, the drop off is quick. I’m still high, and there is still some visual activity, but nothing like before. The only time my peaks lasted longer when I smoked towards the end of it & got relaunched for the duration of the marijuana high. I was never high for more then 12-15 hours of LSD, and that’s with higher doses combined with weed towards the end. LSD alone, at an average strong dose of around 300mics…….that only lasts for 8-10 hours for me.
. We warned the guy of grizzleys and cougars in those woods(we were in very remote area of vancouver island) be he insisted. The guy had been camping out around the tofino area for a while I guess just eating acid.
