No ego death or ego dissolution on (real) LSD

[La Honda]

Hello !

I have a question for you. I have tested (liquid) LSD, at relatively high dose since I'm quite resistant to it (800-1200ug) but while the experiences were intense it was not quite close to anything related to ego death, which I experienced on N,N-DMT or even ketamine, in wildly different way though. I always test my things so I'm quite sure about what it was. What's interesting is that at these doses for me, the experience is absolutely mystical and life changing, it's a teaching in the old meaning of this word. BUT my ego is a bastard, resisting and holding on for dear life. My brother, on the same stack, was obliterated at 400ug. At the doses I take, it feels like a mystic journey, and it's beautiful. Now I wonder if you guys can relate to such a gap in term of experience.

ive taken up 700ug of lsd and never experienced ego death. i only get ego death on tryptamines like ayahuasca and psilocybin.

It's never a guarenteed thing. I took a ten strip once and while it was intense and mystical I couldn't fully let go because of how stimulating and intense it was. Combining it with cannabis can help me, or it may spiral it into paranoia or delusions, so YMMV there. Not to mention the individual variation in response to different substances.

I prefer 100ug of quality stuff, with low doses of changa on top. Doing that in nature, or near a large amethyst, or while eye gazing always does the trick for me once I relax. Acoustics and fluid movement/yoga helps me a lot as well. Though I might define ego death differently than some. I think in modern times people have confused it pretty thoroughly.
