Haven't read the thread, but of course it is. :)

Probably not as common as in the 60s and 70s, but it isn't hard to find if you really want to.

It's about 10$/hit in the Portland area.

I ate the 10strip outside of a Phish show. It was 1997. The guy I was buying from got all sketchy and paranoid. We were standing outside the civic center and he was suddenly like "are you a cop?" I said. Hell no, dude. So he was like "eat some to prove it" and I took the strip and just popped the whole thing in my mouth.

I never tripped harder. I don't really remember being in a concert. I just remeber sitting in a chair and watching the eiffel tower rise up out of the floor and blast off through the roof of the building into the sky. I was trying to pack a bowl but couldn't get any weed in it. The stuff was falling all over my lap. When I tried to take a hit I couldn't tell if any smoke was going down my lungs. All the people around me merged into some sort of pinkish blur. I felt like I was part of a large goo, an amoeba of sorts and could feel the inclinations and sentiments of everyone around me.

Ribbons and circles and bubbles of all kinds were all over me. At one point, my entire field of vision ripped apart and I could't really see the real world anymore. Everything was just a suggested shape and color and blending in with everything around it. I'd look somewhere and see the ghosty outlines of what SHOULD be there and it would instantly melt and dissolve and contort, like dropping dye in a pool of plasma. I remember my girlfriend talking to me and I couldn't understand her. I thought she was speaking another language.

Somehow I made it home and remember lying on the futon, looking at the cieling and wishing that I could stop tripping because I was so tired. But if I closed my eyes, things were just as bright. Behind my eyelids were photographs that would swirl. So I'd stare at a coffee table, close my eyes, and the coffee table would still be there, but it would start moving and walking around the room.

That night I had a series of powerful epiphanies abut my life, where I was going, how I was chasing silly things. I thought about my family and the ways that I hurt them growing up. I tripped for a solid 18 hours and it took two full days for me to finally feel back to normal. Afterwards, I was a changed man. I really grew up practically overnight. I stopped driving around with my windows down and the radio blasting. I was nicer to strangers. I stopped being cocky and trying to show off or posture in front of people. I realized I didn't love my girlfriend at the time and that I was just in it for the lust. I started calling my mom more. I quit smoking cigarettes (visualizing lung cancer on 10 hits of acid will do that to you).

I could write more about what I saw or felt but some of it is so alien, I don't think anyone other than stephen hawking could relate. :)

Wow. In my day, when I was in college (mid/late 90s) there was a LOT of LSD going around. Lots of white blotter, occasional geltabs, leary hits, garcia tabs, you name it. This all faded away for two reasons. 1. Ecstacy 2. Insane sentences for LSD possession, manufacture, distribution. The chemists go where the money is and it's not in LSD anymore.

Besides, kids nowadays want to just feel high, they're scared of probing their inner consciousness. LSD is scary if you're not prepared or think it's some fun type of escapist high. Tripping your face off can be frightening if you have any sort of unresolved psychological conflicts going on. You need to be at peace with yourself and willing to go places you never dreamed of inside your own head.

It's something you only want to do a few times when you're young and stupid. There's really no time or place for it when you're older and have a family. Tripping properly requires you to have a full day off, preferably two, when you can sit in an environment you have full control over.

LSD is just one psychadelic. Shrooms are another and the experiences can be similar.

Read some Kesey or Leary and check out some of the facts on erowid. It's not for everyone.


Well put, I did it in high school and shrooms as well. It can be fun, but no way i would do it now. Its something most people should do when they are young and carefree.

Can someone educate me properly? I grew up working really hard to avoid all drugs because of the fear that I would end up like my parents. Because I avoided it so much I didn't learn a damn thing about any of it. Other then a potential bad trip, is LSD bad for your body? Snuff out the myths for me: does it make your brain bleed? Can it really do permanent damage? Can you really die if you take it just once?

No no no no and no.

If you're borderline schizo, you might come out of it with some trauma. If you're a normal, healthy person, a few micrograms of LSD will give you no harm at all.

The average LSD dose is so tiny, there's no real harm.

High school health clases perpetuate lies in the hopes of scaring you from ever trying it.

You consume more unhealthy, damaging chemcials by eating a fast food meal and slurping down a soda.

LSD is probably the physically safest drug you could ever take. There are no recorded deaths from overdose or LSD toxicity. A lethal dosage doesn't even really exist, essentially it is more then you could ever even hope to consume. It does not stay in your spine forever, if you crack your back you do not have a flashback (always my favorite... dooood that is in your spine for lyfe!). You're not legally insane if you take it X amount of times. On and on. Much of those stories are well known to be formulated and released as anti-drug propaganda without a hint of truth behind them. I mean hell in moderation Heroin is very safe from a physical standpoint.

It was kinda funny when our teacher started describing acid in that section. I'm almost certain he'd done it. It was almost like nostalgia.

i agree with what is contained in this entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lsd

i've dosed over a hundred times, with dosages ranging between approximately 100 and 500 micrograms, and never had anything close a nightmarish experience, or what poeple call a bad trip. i never saw any unicorns, never thought i could fly, and demons never commanded me to kill people.

such experiences are extremely rare. anything else is bullshit. these bad experiences are the result of pre-existing mental illness, or plain old stupidity, coupled with the physical and mental perception-altertering effects of the drug. one thing i do give credence to is the effect of external negative influences while intoxicated, due to the altered perception and heightened emotional state.

From what I've seen it isn't too common. Usually comes out at special events like concerts. Shrooms are common because they can't permanently damage you the way acid can - or thats the perception I see at least.

For reference, I'm 23.

What kinda freakin tabs are those??? They look huge. The sheets ive seen were the same size of the larger piece in your pic. The tabs i've usually seen are about a bit smaller than a .25 inch square...if that. And i dunno what you mean by clean, but that sheet looks like basically everything i've seen. Only difference being no designs to tell what kind they were...though i have seen alot of sheets without designs. I wonder how much tabs go for now also...i remember they were around 5 back in the early 90's...and dropping to 3 if you bought a whole sheet. Can't do much better than 5 bucks for hours of pure euphoria.

Aand what permanent damage would this be? I'll assumed you are merely misinformed but hit some research, there are no proven long-term effects from even extended periods of use

It seems to be making a bit of a comeback these days, but it's now expensive and doesn't seem to be very good. I took a small dose a few weeks ago and had a pretty lackluster experience. My friend told me I just didn't take enough, but I remember taking small doses back in the day and how things sparkled. For reference, I'm 51 and I tripped maybe 100 times between 1972 and 1995, when I more or less quit. Over the last couple years I decided I wanted to trip again, but I guess I just haven't found the right dose.

Surprised you wouldn't see them for what it is? White unperforated blotter is very very common these days. You get a sized piece of the unperf-d paper and cut 1/4" hits off of it yourself. As for clean he is referring to the quality of the acid, "clean" acid is typically good strong hits with no signs of tampering or quality degradation. But white or print blotter the majority of the hits I've seen in the past ~2 years have been unperforated. So those aren't HUGE hits, it's probably a 10 strip from the looks of it on unperf'd white blotter paper. Probably good stuff.

Anyone else get the Hoffman Anniversary hits in the past ehh 6 months? I had a sheet then found more at Gathering of the Vibes. These are unperf'd blotters with a print of Albert Hoffman holding an LSD molecule in his hand? I have a couple sheets in the freezer with my "later in life" stash cause these things are MINDBLOWERS

White unperforated blotter was pretty common back in the day too. Never seen 10 hits on a sheet like that. It was always full sheets and if you wanted a strip of ten, they'd actually cut off a strip and then you cut the strip into tabs yourself. I think i've only had one or two "unclean" hits before. I never wanted to be the first one to take a tab from a new sheet...so i always went off other people's experience before buying a strip.

1 hit - nice little walk, pretty colors/sounds
2 hit - going on a nice little trip, auditory/visual hallucinations getting pretty strong, everything you look at will sparkle and melt and swirl around
3 hit - NOW we're talking. Out of body experiences, starting to actually feel the collective unconscious
4+ hits - A full bore mind altering trip

That very well could be. I have a good friend who is a doctor, and she personally told me that it was one of the only drugs she would never take, for that reason.

Additionally, I knew a guy (friend of a friend) who took some acid and ended up in the middle of the freeway naked. I know that he had gone to psychiatric care for a while - not sure how long. After discussing it with people a few told me that he might be "stuck" like that, whatever state he was in.
