Hey so we tried tripping on mushrooms this one time in thailand at this jungle resort but the shrooms were weak so the owner gave us a 200ug LSD tab that was supposed to slap the inside of your head its that strong and said first time cut it in half. So thats what I did, split it with my brother. All we seemed to get is a salivating mouth and enjoyed running around in circles for a good 20 mins but that was the only effect, no visuals like shrooms or anything. Guessing it was just weak acid but in your experience what is a good tripping dosage?
As little as 30 or 40 micrograms will give you mild effects but in my opinion you need at least a few hundred microgrms for a good trip. I don't think you got acid from the sound of your story.
To go on a 'trip' it takes me about 3 hits of most good LSD, 2 hits is enjoyable as well with many psychedelic effects but rarely am I ever mentally taken away.
it's not uncommon for dealers to overestimate the dosage. so 200 ug was likely more like 100 ug, and from the sounds of it...maybe 60 ug. splitting in half was just too low of a dose, or it wasn't LSD. there are definitely blotters out there that can send you on a trip with one, or maybe even a half. they just aren't the norm. i would think that 100 ug is a good dosage to trip at. even 50 ug is probably a good trip for a beginner. being able to tell if you have that many ug is the problem. 2-4 hits, even though they vary in potency greatly. one hit of LSD could easily be more potent than 4 hits of another batch.
IIRC, Sidney Cohen reported that 7 uG could be sensed by many subjects, and 15 uG could be reliably differentiated from placebo. The effects described for 100 uG would require three to ten hits for me. I thus suspect that street doses today are in the 30 to 60 uG range at best. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
100 REAL micrograms is real nice dose - I've had deep effects from it. But they have to be real micrograms of real d-lysyergic acid DEA-25. Almost everyone, especially in the modern era, overestimates doses. I honestly feel like a modern young person wouldn't know 100 mikes if it slapped them upside the ego and routinely identify 40-50 mcg doses as 100. Also, needless to say, salivation & running around in circles for 20 mins is definately NOT LSD. 250 REAL micrograms is what Dr. Hofmann took during his famous self-experiment - you know the one with all the classic, profound effects, thought he was poisoned, dying, everything radically distorted, fantastic CEV's, incredible euphoria and melting of boundaries . . . . Anything over about 180-250 REAL micrograms routinely NAILS me to the ground for about 2-3 hours. Anything over 300-400 REAL micrograms gives me profound, almost visionary effects, and causes partial OBE launches and weird multi-personality OBE's like simultaneously laying in a field being IN my body looking up at a huge, multi-faceted, gorgeous crystal spinning slowly in the sky but SIMULTANEOUSLY BEING that crystal and looking down at my catatonic body with that dumb ass grin plastered to its' face.
Holy shit, I've never heard that semi-OBE/depersonalization experience described so well. That gave me chills because I've experienced this a few times on various substances (and in some cases sober during anxiety, although it's less profound and more fleeting but still not unpleasant) but was never able to describe it so that it made sense... must spread more rep...
