That's BS, a visible dosage of LSD would absolutely rock one's world or cause one to die of heart failure. "Tiny little CHUNKS" implies something like 10mg+, no way in hell is someone coming out of that too well.
I'm gonna have to agree with ETV here, LSD is put onto blotter paper because the dose is so small there is no way to gauge a dose without a very sophisticated (expensive) scale. Much less deal with it in an easy way.
LSD doses are measured in
micrograms, even a
huge dose, like enough for 50 people or more is not going to be very easy to see with your naked eye.
Put it this way,
50 milligrams (
the average breakthrough dose for DMT) is equal to
50,000 micrograms!!!
So a pure LSD crystal,
that was visible to the naked eye, would probably be more than enough to dose a small city!!
Although, I have heard of a certain "
brand" of LSD named "
Crystal Fluff", but it wasn't pure LSD crystals (
although it may have been sold as such...:roll: ), it was said to be a silvery/whitish powder that was probably about 1%-3% LSD. The rest would be filler, to make it easier to handle & measure out etc...
LSD in the 60's was normally found in pill form & the doses where sometimes 200-to-
1000 times larger(
**) than what you might find on a blotter today.
Even still, the bulk of those pills were just bonding agent, or filler, to form the pill & hold it all together.
So unfortunately, that dude was probably exaggeration
a bit to you, or just straight up telling BS stories.
Out of all the psychoactives out there, LSD has
sooooo many ridicules tales of crazy, unrealistic crap to go along with it!
If you are not familiar with it yet,
Erowid.com is an invaluable resource for confirming or denying a whole lot of the tall-tales you may encounter throughout your journeying!
Erowid is also hands down the most comprehensive "
drug-encyclopedia" out there & it's free of charge!! Check it out!

**Side Note:
I read a statistic a few years ago that said something like today you might find 100-200 micrograms of actual LSD on a hit of acid.
However, back in the 60's, a tab of acid might have 500-to-1200 micrograms of actual LSD in it!!
The idea being that most folks are looking for a bit of a change in perception to add to an evening of partying, but when acid originaly hit the scene, the idea was more about turning on to a completely new way of perception...to get out of your normal state of being 100%
