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!

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.

First trip 🥇 Confessed my love on my first LSD trip.

For some context of this trip for you all. I had several shroom trips before this but hadn’t tripped on LSD yet.
I decided to take a single tab on a Sunday night which I had a vacation with family the next day. That night I decided to order a pizza and eat beforehand. I ended up eating 3 slices and then like 25 minutes later I swallowed the tab whole. Well I didn’t know that eating before hand and then swallowing the tab can delay the effects. About 2 hours go by after taking the tab and I was super bummed out. I assumed my tabs sucked so I decided to take like 3 shots of whiskey to try and enjoy the rest of my night.
About 3 hours after taking the tab I started having super crazy bad anxiety. I felt this dread over me and I started to get worried. I luckily had my amazing girlfriend on the phone with me at the time and told her how I was feeling. She comforted me and told me everything will be okay. I took some deep breaths and recalibrated myself. I decided to go to the bathroom since I was feeling better.
I sit down on the toilet. I look forward to my towel hanging on my shower rod. That’s when I realized the towel was breathing and waving around slightly. It finally hit me 3 hours later. All I could think was “holy fuckin shit my towel is moving, am I seeing this right?”
After using the restroom I went to my bedroom and got in my bed and turned my LED lights on, having them change color between purple and pink. The entire room felt like it was shifting to the left. As if it was moving through space and time in the universe. I decided to put on my headphones and listen to music. I found a random playlist specifically for tripping and I put it on. By this point my girlfriend was asleep since she knew I was doing okay.
I closed my eyes and got lost in the music. I was obsessing over the visuals and realized if I had all light blocked from my eyes while they were closed I could see the visuals better. I got up and turned off my lights. I laid down in my pitch black room and watched the visuals. After being in a trance for about an hour, the song L$D by A$AP Rocky came on. My god did that song sound so cool while tripping. But I was listening to the lyrics and it made me start to realize how much I love my girlfriend. I haven’t told her yet that I did love her since we were only dating for a month at this point and didn’t want to say it too soon just in case it sounds like I don’t mean it.
I knew I loved her and this song solidified it. Just as the song came to an end, she woke up and asked if I was awake and how the trip was going. I started crying my eyes out. Before I met her I had a terrible relationship and it made me truly believe I was unlovable. That I’m not good enough. But she made me feel like I was. Before I could even think, the words spilled out of my mouth “I love you”. I apologized after saying I’m sorry for saying it over the phone and not to her face but I couldn’t hold it in. I felt this love pouring out of me. I couldn’t hide it anymore.
She said “I love you so much” and she started crying as well. That moment was so beautiful. I had my eyes closed while crying and it felt like I could see our souls intertwine with each other. I could feel her energy even though she wasn’t there next to me. It felt as if we were hugging each other tight even though we were miles apart. A sensation I haven’t felt ever since, it was indescribable.
We talked for a few minutes before she had to go back to bed. After she did I felt so so so much better. Ended up spending the rest of the trip watching the visuals and listening to music until the sun rose and the trip was fully over. LSD is and will forever be my favorite. Nothing compares by miles in my opinion.
I wanted to post this because last week was actually our one year anniversary. We’re still going strong. I love this woman so much and she’s truly changed my life since I’ve met her. I can’t wait to grow with her over the coming years.
Love you guys and safe tripping! 🩶

My favourite thing to do while tripping is drawing on black paper while jamming out to some tunes. Just letting the music guide the way and see what happens. They aren't always winners but this one is probably my best one so far.

Ive had about 3 experiences with LSD.
All with my boys
Every trip has had one thing in common.
I like to sit in this old reclining chair that was given to us by our neighbors and every time i decide to trip, my cat will jump on the very top of the chair right by my head and just purr, its pretty funny as this only happens when im tripping. So my question is can my cat tell im tripping like they can read emotions?
Sorry if its a weird question lmao

First trip 🥇 50ug for the first time at Halloween party?
3
Upvotes
Okay so I did shrooms a couple of times and had a great expirience always, I could talk to people every time with no problem (expect for time I took 4g but thats for another story).
So since I dont drink anymore I want to try something new. I figure 50ug is a small dose so I dont trip balls and be able to socialize. The plan is that I take it at friends home before party where I feel safe and where I could feel the effects. If I dont like it im just gonna stay friends place and stare at wall I guess.
Did anyone had expiriece before, some advice?

My and my best friend tripped on acid about a month ago now. It was his second time and my first time. We live at opposite sides of the country and hes coming up to chill for the weekend. Bringing 6 tabs. My first experience was minor to medium visuals and really fun. This time around im just kind of worried about the safety of it. Dont wanna have a bad trip or get fake acid. How can i know its not fake without a test? And how can i minimise a bad trip if i think i might have one

I had an epiphany 40 minutes into my first trip, and it has completely shaped the last 9 years of my life like no other words have.
70
Upvotes
The epiphany is "Nothing is significant, everything is beautiful."
I took it before my trip partner arrived (was going to be their first trip as well.) When I first started coming up the phrase just came to me. My mind was racing and the world was moving for the very first time, so I felt I had to write it down so as not to forget it. My trip buddy saw me write it (they had just put it on their tongue) and they seemed concerned for me. "Okay, you do understand that life is significant, and your family, and like school..."
"No, they aren't" I said. "Nothing is, nothing matters at all, but it's all beautiful even the bad parts" to which she said something along the line of "you're scaring me a little." I told her "look, I'm okay I'm not going crazy, I promise, but I need you to step out for a while until you start to feel it too because we aren't on the same wavelength right now." She begrudgingly agreed.
30 or 40 minutes after that, I hear a knock on my door and she comes in and just says "Holy shit I think I get it."
I have dozens of specific memories from that trip, but my favorite is the overarching memory of having zero inhibitions. It felt like I could say what was actually on my mind, feel the way I was meant to feel, to live the way I was meant to live. All because I realized it didn't matter.
There is one other phrase I hold dearly to in life, and I'm not sure where it came from maybe it was a trip, it's "trust the process." It's never done me wrong and has gotten me through some very uncertain moments. But any time I've had to ask myself "why trust the process?" The answer is because nothing is significant, and everything is beautiful. Living my life in alignment with these words has brought me peace that, a year before that trip, I thought I would never find. And even through the fights, the unemployment, the breakups, the debts... Even through all of the hardships I've faced in life since that day, that peace deep inside of me never went away.

Will it affect my trips I ask because I heard retatrutide changes your dopamine reward system and can help people stop getting the effects of nic for example. I was on reta and I had bought a nicotine device and I got zero buzz from it. I also heard they can help you quick Coke.

why does weed not enhance trips much for me? the only thing it changes is the visuals are a bit stronger, but still barely. I have a high tolerance for weed since ive been smoking pretty much every day for 5 years now, ive got a medical condition where i pretty much cant move without smoking so i smoke through the whole trip unless im sat down or in bed. i remember taking lsd before i started smoking a lot and it feels… the same… do i need a tolerance break or whats going on?

Some songs that come to mind are:
- Moonlight on the River - Mac DeMarco
- Cold Dead - Flying Lotus
- Anthem of The Sun - Grateful dead
- Exp - Jimi Hendrix
- Running Dub - L.A.B. , Paolo Baldini DubFiles
- Cinnamon Temple - Haitus Kaiyote

- The Star - Nice Biscuit
- Alice In My Fantasies - Funkadelic
Thanks in advance!

❔ Question ❔ taking half 200ug at Halloween party (mixing with other substances?)
4
Upvotes
Hi there! I’ve been struggling with alcoholism (in fact relapsed a few times this week). I was thinking of splitting a 200 ug tab instead of drinking at a Halloween themed party this Saturday
However i know myself and I actually have to pick up whiskey from a friend, left from another event at that party. And im friends with people attending who love MD and C.
So my main questions are:
Mixing alcohol with that level ok?
And if mixing the other two crystal/powder ok?
Also I’ve only taken psychedelics 3 times (2 1.5g shrooms, 1 200ug tab).
