I've heard vague rumors of thumb printing being done rarely, but only rarely because it requires a ton on LSD. But the basic idea is to have mg's of crystalline LSD, and then you apply it to your thumb, where it is absorbed throughout the skin, and you go on the trip of a life time. I'm just wondering if anyone have any experience/knowledge/insight into this practice. Thank you.

i have not done it myself but have heard of it, i know when most people do a thumb print they trip for a while like a week maybe more depending on how much you got.
There is an in-depth thread at Shroomery.

sounds like a time-warp to the hospital.
Not that it'd hurt you. But, from what large doses I've taken (no thumbprints) and seen people take(no thumbprints)... there seems to be a point where you just sort of black out.
sometimes you roll on the floor for hours, other times you run amuck. Other times, you lose your mind and scream about an impending doom of one sort or another.
be careful...

you dont wanna be that person running down the street naked.
just a stupid ritual, shrouded in myth.
yea, there are some bedtime stories about it at the shroomery

so you are saying thumbprints dont exist, benzyme?
regardless of giving value-judgements on this, all I ask here is if anybody is planning to take very high doses of lsd (or other psychedelics), please have at least one caring sitter present that would make sure you are safe and that could physically restrain you if necessary

i'm not saying they don't exist, i'm just saying they're not necessarily going to take you to "the other side". large doses just tend to extend the experience. because of this, it would be a good idea to have someone looking after you, as delerium may set in after a while
but tbh, it's a waste of L; but if you want something on par with DOM in terms of duration, a print will do it.

of course benzyme is the expert on this matter, having ingested prints and all

i dont recall where i read this, but i read that lsd is not absorbed via the skin. Hoffman is said to have tripped for the 1st time from touching L accidentally, but i read that this is not possible, and thus Hoffman must've touched his acid fingers to his mouth. so i think ppl doing Thumbrints lick their thumbs...but i have no direct experience with this, so can someone tell me if L is active intradermally or not?

There is a lot of truth to this. Large doses can have some strange effects.
I've had a couple of interesting experiences on large doses of LSD. I remember taking 16 hits (yes I was young and dumb) of some phenomenal acid. I felt the first effects about 15 minutes into the trip. I then proceeded to build up to an extremely intense peak and then At 4 hours I was DEAD SOBER. Everyone around me was just peaking on 1-2 hits of the same tabs...and no I didn't have a tolerance built up at the time.
On another occasion I took 10 hits and tripped for close to 24 hours...and by the end of it delirium was definitely setting in.
Back in those day's it wasn't about personal exploration. It was just another drug to do and we were usually shit faced drunk and smoking tons of weed.
BTW I only use these stories as an example and I sure don't recommend people do this...there really is no need. A couple of hits with the right set and setting is all anyone should ever need.

Here's an erowid Q&A on it.

However if you are working in a lab around solvents such as DMSO like Hoffman anything is possible....
And let's be real a thumb print would be a HUGE dose. This can't be compared to touching a tab. There would certainly be enough to cross the skin into the blood stream. most of the stories I've heard were not all blissful and rosey

Thumb prints are possible, they are done after dipping the blotter sheets in the LSD and when theres not enough left to dip, they make the rest into "washouts" or do thumb print.
But don't take it from me, I've not a clue.

LSd is active sublingually like loads of other tryptamine and compounds.
touching a friend tripping on lsd and getting his sweat on your fingers wouldn't make you trip.
I don't think DMSO was needed for hoffman to get high, just a macrodose transdermally.
