Recently I tried some cid that was dropped onto some antacid Tums tablets. My bro got one and so did I. I didn't experience a thing, he says he had a great time (we tripped in different places). I haven't tripped in roughly 9 years so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it or somehow a reaction with the antacid. Also I was smoking up a little, but I definitely know what tripping feels like so that should have become moot after awhile. Could it be the huge time difference between trips? It was a bummer really because I set up the environment and got ready and nothing happenned.
Strange medium for distribution. *lol* It wouldn't have anything to do with the Tums, surely...LSD, while being nick-named "acid" is actually a neutral compound.
Let me clarify something here. I'm not that dense to believe that it's 'acid' in the sense of a corrosive substance that would be blocked by an 'antacid'. Also, if I had the liquid to begin with, no, I would not have then dropped it on some tums (why the hell would I do that?), that's how it came. A reputable source, etc.... I guess the big question really isn't the medium then, but the huge time diff between trips. Why would my bro have a great experience whilst I felt nothing notable from the same batch?
He could have possibly had a placebo effect, or maybe he had mixed it with some other psychedelic and thus giving him the impression that the LSD was taking effect.
Yeah, stonerbill, that's why I was really looking forward to it. No big loss though, the dude is more than happy to re-imburse from another batch. I've avoided cid over the years with a preference for fungi. Just wanted to try it out with some programs like Reason and Cubase to get a different perspective for an evening. I could see that possibility but I highly doubt it with my bro. He's an experienced psychonaut. More I think they were probably just in a hurry when dropping on the medium and I happenned to get the one that got skimped on Que sera... life goes on
I don't know a lot about the chemistry of LSD. Is it called an acid because it is derived from lysergic acid which is indeed an acid, whereas lysergic acid diethylamide is not? Some quotes from wikipedia: "However, LSD and iso-LSD, the two C-8 isomers, rapidly interconvert in the presence of base. " - not sure if these would make any difference due to the fact that they intereconvert... so perhaps the iso-LSD would convert right back into LSD. "Two portions of its molecular structure are particularly sensitive, the carboxamide attachment at the 8-position and the double bond between the 8-position and the aromatic ring. The former is affected by high pH, and if perturbed will produce isolysergic acid diethylamide (iso-LSD), which is biologically inactive."
