Harm Reduction LSD information for newbies
6.4k

I made this to hopefully see a decline in redundant/daily posts, and make some sort of positive impact. Please remember to use the search function if you have a basic question regarding LSD.
• A full beginner dose should typically be 1/2 - 1 single tab.
• The average dose range of LSD on a single tab is 70-105μg.
• There are tabs dosed with as little as ~20μg, or more than 300μg in some absurd cases. The overwhelming majority of sources try to lay their tabs around 100μg because it’s mathematically simple, and more profitable in the long-run.
• The odds your tab has more than 200μg on it are very low. The most common higher dose tabs are 125-200μg. Take half of any tab that’s supposedly above 200μg just to be safe at first, and if that doesn’t at least produce an 11-12 hour mildly visual trip, the full tab wasn’t above 200.
• A typical microdose should be 10-25 μg
• 50-300μg of LSD can last anywhere from 8-14 hours. 300-1000μg can last anywhere from 14-20 hours. Exceeding a milligram (1000μg) can produce effects that last up to 24 hours. It’s usually hard to fall asleep under the influence.
• Unless you have an above average baseline tolerance or handle the substance extraordinarily well, it’s not advisable to exceed ~300-500μg. Temporary delirious/psychotic symptoms become more likely if you don’t know what you’re getting into with large doses, and a 16+ hour duration doesn’t help.
• 25i-NBOMe is a relatively dangerous LSD imposter. If you take an untested tab and your mouth/throat becomes numb, along with an intense bitter taste, spit it out immediately. Do not panic, but monitor your physical state. A *normal* dose of 25i shouldn’t be life-threatening. Most of the dangerous LSD imposters, including 25i, only become life-threatening at higher doses (this is why you should NEVER take multiple untested tabs at once, or take untested tabs at all).
• Please test your tabs with an Ehrlich reagent kit to verify that what you have is indeed an indole and not 25i-NBOMe. Follow up with the Hofmann reagent kit to verify that it’s not an LSD analogue or other phenethylamine. I personally recommend using TKP for your reagents: https://testkitplus.com/ Another great organization is DanceSafe https://dancesafe.org/ — DanceSafe genuinely saves lives with their testing booths at music festivals.
• Common positive effects include but aren’t limited to: closed and open eye visuals, tactile enhancement/hallucinations, euphoria, stimulation, introspection, and creativity.
• Common negative effects include but aren’t limited to: overstimulation, increased heart rate, vasoconstriction, anxiety/paranoia, and confusion.
• Common neutral/manageable effects include but aren’t limited to: pupil dilation, frequent urination, insomnia, and temperature sensitivity.
• Always optimize your set (expectations and mental state) going into an experience, and always optimize your setting (direct environment/surroundings) going into an experience.
• LSD interactions with various medications (From Erowid):
- There is still very little legitimate, thorough medical research on this subject. LSD's outlaw status makes it very difficult to obtain permission & funding for research. Therefore, you should regard all of the anecdotes and conclusions here as being scientifically unproven, and you should note that any experimentation you choose to do carries a significant risk.
- Lithium or tricyclics (like Amitriptyline, Anafranil, Asendin, Aventyl, Elavil, Endep, Norfranil, Norpramin, Pamelor, Sinequan, Surmontil, Tipramine, Tofranil, Vivactil) are fairly consistently reported as being very bad in combination with LSD. Life-threatening seizures and at least one DEATH have been reported to be triggered by the combination of LSD and lithium. Tramadol is another drug you should avoid in combination with LSD because of the potential for seizures and other negative side effects.
- SSRIs (like Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Desyrel) or MAOIs (like Nardil, Parnate, Marplan, Eldepryl, Aurorix, Manerix) are fairly consistently reported to noticeably reduce the effects of LSD. (There are no physically dangerous reactions to these combinations on record, but be cautious and don’t be excessive with dosing.)
• HPPD risk is associated with frequent use of psychedelics (more than once a month), high doses, and younger age groups. HPPD varies in severity between individuals. As long as you use this drug responsibly, this shouldn’t be a concern.
• LSD has the potential to produce a very challenging psychological experience. If you have mental-health issues, research the risks and benefits associated with psychedelic treatment of your condition. Do NOT take LSD without the guidance of a medical professional if you are seriously suicidal.
• Weed often potentiates the effects of LSD. Some users report that the effects of weed are indefinitely altered to some degree after their first few experiences with LSD (It often becomes more psychedelic).
• Various benzos like alprazolam and clonazepam can be used as “trip-killers,” but you don’t need to take more than a single medical dose, and not all of the psychoactive effects will be negated. This should be a last resort.
• LSD tends to make verbal communication challenging, so prepare appropriately if using in a social setting.
• If you’re 19 or younger you should probably wait until AT LEAST your early 20s to try LSD because of unforeseen behavioral/neurological impacts. Waiting until 25+ is optimal.
• You’ll build a substantial tolerance to LSD if you trip multiple times in two weeks, so wait 10-14 days between trips for a general reset. Tolerance does exponentially decrease day-by-day following an experience.
• If you want to redose to increase the effects, do it before or during the start of the peak. Redosing after the peak will only prolong the duration unless you increase the dose. Excessive dosing is unadvisable regardless.
• Peak effects generally occur 2.5-5 hours after dosing (less than or around 300μg). Peak effects can last anywhere in the range of 2.5-8 hours after dosing. Many people say the peak comes in “waves.”
• If you’ve tried psilocybin containing mushrooms before, certain dosage calculators based on subjective effects and intensity equate ~2.5 grams of an average cubensis variety to ~100μg of accurately dosed LSD, but there are differences between the substances of course.
• You should consider having a trusted friend or a close partner “tripsit” you during your first experiences, or at least let someone know your whereabouts beforehand if you want to do it alone. (Note: Trip-sitting should just involve being close by and present if the user needs assistance or someone to talk to, sitters shouldn’t try to influence the trip unless it’s getting chaotic.)
• LSD has the potential to be therapeutic, recreational, spiritual, or all/none of the above depending on the individual and their particular circumstances. Stop gatekeeping.
•If you are ever having a challenging trip and need to speak with someone, here are a couple great resources:
Leave suggestions in the comments!
edit: A couple people are aggravated with minor details in these general points of advice, so please take everything I’ve said with a grain of salt and do your own research! I’m simply providing a helpful starting outline, not set-in-stone facts.
Thank you all, and safe travels!

⚡ Sub Announcement ⚡ Don't believe the dosages you see on here

Over exaggerating dosages is only harmful to the community and is much more prominent in LSD oriented communities when compared to other psychedelics. This is because you cannot simply weigh your dosages, like shrooms or DMT. 2c-b being another good example, where it usually comes in ranges of 15-30 milligrams or powder I believe. Most tabs of LSD contain 75-150 UGs of LSD, averaging more around 100. 100 micrograms of LSD is equal to around 2.5 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis. (The most commonly sold and cultivated "magic mushroom")
Starting with one tab after you've tested it is better than going headfirst into the deep end... Even at 100 micrograms it does add up quickly, would you recommend five grams of shrooms to a beginner? No difference in recommending them 200 micrograms of LSD (two average tabs). I really just don't understand the glory of taking larger dosages than we need. Look at r/Shrooms or other communities related to shrooms and you see this much less. Mainly to do with the ability to weigh them out I believe, but definitely many other factors. I don't know... Thanks for reading.
Best regards,

EDIT: I do not recommend any unathletic person to do this. Similar to riding a bicycle you have to teach your muscle memory how to ride it in a straight line before going mountainbiking
So a few months ago i got a 250ug tab for free when buying some weed. Been cutting off random size pieces, to random dose. And do physical activity. Today it was mountainbike and bouldering.
I Highly recommend hiking, biking, climbing.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Thursday

LSD while having a urinary tract infection: I do not recommend it

The urinary tract infection started 3 hours after taking LSD—right in the middle of the come-up. Being no stranger to this recurring infection, I took my usual antibiotic, which normally brings relief within an hour. Well, well... it’s been 6 hours now, and there’s been no change. Thanks, universe, for this poisoned gift. I am literally burning from the inside.

Questions abt the lsd after effects
3
Upvotes
Is there anyone who has taken LSD and noticed any like long term changes to their state of consciousness after taking the drug, like did you feel braindead, or smarter, or just normal. I read that LSD seems to have very minimal side effects and increases neuroplasticity at doses like 100 ug, so im guessing people could take LSD just for the after effects to learn faster aswell with the fun of the trip, but not become braindead. Anyone tried this before?
LSD helped me quit alcohol and doomscrolling. Could it also rewire my autonomic nervous system?
9
Upvotes
Self-therapy with LSD has helped me rewire my brain and overcome my addictions to alcohol and, subsequently, doomscrolling. Now I’m considering taking this a step further.
Recently, I got a wristband that continuously monitors my physiological metrics, and I’ve noticed that both my baseline respiratory rate and resting heart rate are relatively high. Neither is medically concerning, as both fall within the normal range, which I’ve also confirmed with my doctor.
This got me thinking: could I use an LSD experience focused specifically on this issue to rewire my brain at a subconscious level, encouraging my body to naturally adopt a slower, deeper breathing pattern? My hypothesis is that this could, in turn, lower my baseline respiratory rate and potentially my resting heart rate.
For context: I’m a healthy, physically fit young man who maintains a healthy lifestyle. I suspect my naturally elevated baseline rates are largely influenced by genetics rather than lifestyle factors.
I’m curious whether psychedelic-induced neuroplasticity could influence such deeply ingrained autonomic patterns, or whether these physiological processes are largely beyond the reach of conscious or subconscious rewiring.

Has lsd gotten weaker.
I used to love tripping. About 10 years ago I hung out with a farm commune for 5 years( I was dating someone there) we used to trip all the time. I would take generally 3/4 hits. And I would get crazy visuals my come up I would get all yawny and stretchy and trip for like 10-12 hours.
I stopped when I left that group for like 3 years then I went to a festival and got some gel tabs from a friend and I had an amazing time. He ran out and was out a year so I got some when he got more Well he got blotter acid next and I don’t know if he mixed it. But I didn’t get come up yawns or feelings and I ended up taking up to 6 hits and Jsut felt weird. No visuals. I tried it 3 more times within 8 months but nothing crazy! ( I had a dmt pen and molly l so it helped elevate it ) well I met a new guy and he had blue gel tabs I took two and felt nice but very minimum visuals. Then he got liquid. I took like 2 felt nice but no visuals and nothing crazy so I took 3 drops and felt better but still no visuals really. Well I then mixed 2 blue gel tabs and one red gel tab and one liquid hit the other night. And I actually got super close to the old feeling. Like yawns , stretches. Like wiggles and stuff lightly moving . . I order one more strip of the gel for this weekend ( it’s coming from Oregon ) and I order some lsd with smurfs on it from Boston and it will be here Saturday. I’m hoping it’s stronger my buddy said he got visuals from 2 … I’m thinking of starting with 4
But my main questions after all this. Is acid just weaker? Is this lsd I’m taking maybe Jsut 25 ug a hit so after 4 im barely blasting off? I miss the visual and the profound and crazy thoughts and I want that back. Ha my buddy thinks my tolerance is high cause he said he had a good time off one. But he tripped like once every 6 months. And I’ve only trips like maybe 6 times off lsd in the last two years.
I have taken shrooms and tripped a bit this year while recovering my cancer. But that wouldn’t affect lsd tolerance and tripping would it ?

Hi guys, I’ve been doing LSD here and there (1-3 times yearly) for about three years now. Tomorrow I’ll trip sit for my three flatmates.
I already briefed them and gave them suggestions as to what to do and so on.
But I’m sure I forgot about many things and I’m also curious to see new ideas, so please don’t hesitate

I believe it’s been about 9 years since my last trip. Before then I would take maybe 2 trips a year since I first tried it. I recently got a hold of some but am not ready quite yet, I will be preparing for a few weeks or months to get my mind in the right place. Has anyone else had a huge gap between trips? If so any differences?

What would even happen to you if you had like 100, 500 or 1,000 doses in one sitting? I heard once beyond a certain level the brain can't actually process more at once, so there is a maximum threshold of possible intensity but I would think the trip could last days and it might be psychologically harrowing.

Solo trip 🙋♂️ Weird computer stuff

Last time a did about 3 tabs that claim to be 100 micrograms each, the whole day was weird and I was still tripping the next and couldn’t get much sleep but my main concern is when I had to go to school, I was on one of those shitty Chromebooks and none of keys were working, so naturally I just start spamming random keys to see if anything actually works, the phrase government/N appeared in my search tab, and I notice and try to click any other keys but they still just don’t work, until I click the G and it works, so I start spamming random keys again, opening new tabs but nothing is working I eventually just click the G again and start catching on, keep clicking any letter to try to get something else to happen but nothing does. So I hit the R and then I just kinda stared it for a bit like “wtf did computer just call me a hard R” it didn’t actually lead to anything but this whole experience was really bizarre because usually taking acid just messes with my head and my thoughts, but this was physically happening in the real world and honestly kinda scared me, does anyone know why this happened or had a experience similar?

I took my first one about 80 minutes ago I did eat a meal beforehand, i mostly feel heavy and the sizes of things are a little off and visions a little funky. And I also cant stop laughing and looking at myself lol.
I wanted more intense visuals, ive always had a good relationship with acid i havent done it to much though.
If it smart to take the second one now? or should I be waiting any longer?
