20ug's

oops, double post.

 

Actually whether orange sunshine was ALD-52 or LSD was never verified.
Plus you have to make LSD as a pre-cursor to making LSD, so making ALD-52 isn't efficient.
The reason that the claim was made about orange sunshine being ALD-52 was because it was not illegal when Tim Scully was on trial for producing it.

from Tikhal;
"ALD-52. 1-Acetyl-N,N-diethyllysergamide. This material has been explored in the 50-175 microgram range and there are a number of human trials reported, with varying conclusions. One found that there was less visual distortion than with LSD and it seems to produce less anxiety and was somewhat less potent than LSD.

Another report claimed it was more effective in increasing blood pressure. Yet another could not tell them apart. ALD-52 just may have been the drug that was sold as "Orange Sunshine" during the "Summer of Love" in the late '60's. Or "Orange Sunshine" may have been, really, LSD.

This was the focus of a fascinating trial where two defendants were accused of distributing LSD, whereas they claimed that it was ALD-52 which was not an illegal drug. The prosecution claimed that as it hydrolyses readily to LSD, for all intents and purposes it was LSD, and anyway, you had to go through the illegal LSD to get to ALD-52 by any of the known chemical syntheses. The defendants were found guilty.

And yet, I do not know who has actually measured the speed or ease of that reaction. If ALD-52 hydrolyses so easily to LSD, and the body is indeed a hydrolytic instrument, then these two drugs should be absolutely equivalent in every particular, This is the ergot equivalent of the psilocybin to psilocin argument, except this is an acetamide rather than a phosphate ester."

So for all intents and purposes, ALD-52 is LSD-25
People freaked out because the doses were too strong. They were not a bunch of idiots who had never tried LSD before, but people who were familier with it's effects and still had problems with the dose. That is also why strength of doses got lower over the following years.

 

Okay, even though an ''average'' dosed trip is usually 150-200 ug, you're telling me that you think 20ug for 10$ is good?

Gee, you might as well just give that 10$ to a random guy on the street. :toetap05: 20ug ain't shit.
