Harm Reduction LSD information for newbies
6.4k
Upvotes
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,

First trip 🥇 old story, don’t give kids acid lol
16
Upvotes
honestly just wanted to talk about this, it happened about 6 years ago when i was a little edgy 14 year old.
id been smoking weed for a few months when my friend at the time showed me a little baggie with 3 tabs, 1 for him, 1 for my boyfriend, 1 for me. no idea how much was in them, i didnt know much about it at the time. but being a rebellious kid i of course said fuck it. obviously none of our parents would approve so we decided to go for an all nighter in the city for whatever reason…
we were all rural kids, been to the city maybe once in our lives, it was a long journey. we had to stop at a place called frankston on the way (any melbournians would know - it’s a shithole) it’s about 10:30 at this point and all 3 of us are absolutely tripping balls already just on the come up, as we navigate the totally unsafe frankston alleyways, empty except for the junkies. this is when my boyfriend at the time who was big into led zeppelin, motley crue, pink floyd and whoever put some headphones on my head and clicked play on dark side of the moon. why was that his album of choice? who knows 😭😭
with the headphones blaring on full volume, i was totally immersed in the experience. it was going fine, felt like a game running through frankston until time started playing. by this point i had forgotten that i had the capability to take my headphones off, fully believing the song was just naturally coming from the brick walls or some shit. i felt genuine adrenaline with the clock sounds rattling my brain, the faces of every frankston homeless person looking like it was stretching out towards me as i ran. nothing scary about homeless people but this was around the time i was shown a video of a stabbing that occurred a 2 minute walk away from where we were.
i wasn’t freaking out or anything, i think my cute little underdeveloped brain found it very exciting. UNTIL the friend who gave me the tab thought it was a bright idea to get my attention by spraying deodorant directly in my eyes from 5 cm away. i think my reaction was delayed because a fair bit definitely got in my eyes, they burned the rest of the trip. i don’t think he meant to harm me, the second he saw i was in pain he started crying and trying to pour water in my eyes.
so, by this point time was nearly over and we decided to make our way over to the bus for the city. we sat down at the back and i looked to my left, it was the meth-addicted mum of a boy at my school. the week before, this kid had climbed through a gap in the tower of mats i was sitting on at school, reached up and grabbed my ass through them.. i don’t know why, but he was definitely mentally not all there. his mum was nice, she offered me a hit of her pipe lol. i thankfully turned it down, although, i was more concerned about her bright red stretching face than the meth.
we finally got to the city after a long journey, the lights were very exciting. we found our way to the only place we were legally allowed into at that time, a maccas. we tried to eat but the food looked smelled and tasted like plastic (kinda accurate). instead, we opted for people-watching. we must’ve looked like total idiots because 2 men came up to us, they were tourists from some european country who found our state pretty funny. they seemed concerned when we said we had nowhere to go, so we trusted them when they told us to follow them.
as we were crossing the road with them, they told us they were bringing us to “the gay sex park”. still no idea where that came from, but we ended up at a pretty nice, empty park. little bit gross, but i spent the entire 6 hours until the first train home sitting on my boyfriends back squeezing his zits 🤮 passed the time pretty well though because those hours felt like 2 minutes.
anyways, i don’t know who sold those to us but it was definitely acid and definitely shouldn’t have been sold to children hahaha. didn’t discourage me from trying again, but the experiences definitely got worse as my brain developed. i would NOT have been able to handle all that today

VR while tripping
•
Upvotes
I own a quest 3 and 2 and have used both of them on multiple trips. I love the quest 3s quality and resolution makes games look unreal. I recently gave my quest 3 to my brother for his engineering program for college so now I have my 5 year old quest 2. Last trip I was peaking and decided to hop on the VR but the game kept flashing and freaked me tf out and haven’t used it since. A couple days ago I hopped back on it sober and while in the steamvr hub it flashed white super fast and I freaked out and snatched the headset off my head. Next trip I want to use it but I’m scared it’ll give me a epilepsy like trance:(

❔ Question ❔ What’s it like to share a medium dose with someone?
•
Upvotes
I’m curious how it feels to share a medium dose with another person. Is it as fun as I imagine?
My friends aren’t into drugs at all, so I’ve never had anyone to share this with. I think it would be amazing to share the “wow” moments together: colors getting vivid, deep introspection, and seeing someone’s reaction at the peak.

Just got done with my first 2 tab experience. Wow I don't really have many words if I'm being honest, I had my first out of body experience after some meditation which was a lot to take in, but I'm so thankful to have had it :). It kinda made me think though, how the heck does anyone on here post on their huge dose peaks? I literally couldn't read anything on my phone. Just kind of makes me question if folks really understand how much they are taking or maybe I have a lower tolerance, idk just thought it was interesting? Anyways, just thought I'd share my experience diving deep in with the universe. Take it easy all, time for bed haha.

I know good sleep and being well rested is important but now I've woken up im finding it hard to sleep again.
Was going to do 600ug tonight and spend sunday and monday resting and recovering.
I really enjoy night trips so I don't wanna waste these hours but also sleep is very important to feel good tripping. I do feel rested but can a 1 hour nap really keep me well rested for the next 12 hours?

Quel emballage non nocif emballer avec le LSD?
2
Upvotes
Bonjour,
Le papier sulfurisé j'en veux pas, nocif certains papiers des pfas.
L'aluminium j'en veux pas mauvaise réaction avec le LSD ou particules d'aluminium
Meme le sac sous vide sans BPA qu'il remplace par d'autres bisphénol.
Du papier de fruit?
Ou des feuilles à rouler non blanchi?
Peut-être papier kraft non blanchi.
Disons emballer les buvards dans un papier Bio et après mettre sous vide. Une deuxième couche de sous vide avec du gel de silice.
Si vous avez d'autres types d'emballage bio, qui ne transmet pas de particules d'aluminium, de plastique, d'ingrédients toxiques aux buvards, un emballage type alimentaire sans plastique.
Merci.

Challenging trip 🚀 Bad Trip Story
•
Upvotes
Just woke up after sleeping for 18 hours straight after a horrible trip and I want to tell the story.
So I did acid with a friend who does it quite regularly, and this was my second time. Last time she did she had a bad trip and ended up going to her parents so she was scared of it happening again. Anyways right after the come up she starts freaking out, she would be laying down then sit up so fast and scream ‘OH MY GOD’ and stare at me for so long. This went on for like an hour and she wouldn’t hear anything I was saying apart from when she would ask me time every 30 seconds. I go to get her some water, and she’s thrown up every where and won’t move and muscle.
Now obviously i’m tripping so hard off of acid and my brain convinces me that she’s over dosed, I didn’t know that throwing can be common on acid, so what do I do?? Get her parents 🤦♀️ In my defence this was after like 15 minutes of asking and trying to figure out is she was okay or not and her either not moving at all and freaking out by jumping up and stuff so I got her parents.
OBVIOUSLY I know I was wrong but I was out of my mind at this point as well. Her parents come down and she is not even conscious enough to realise who they are or why they are there. Her mum tries to get her PJs with throw up off her and feel for forehead but she won’t even let her near her. So eventually her parents leave and ask me to look after her. Which I do but in my end she wants to hurt me as anything I go near her she scream “NO” and start walking towards me.
Anyways after hours of my trying to speak to her eventually I get her to lie in a clean bed with me and that’s where we stay for the rest of the night. At this point i’m starting to come down and realising wtf I just did, WHYYY would i get her parents 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ So as soon as the sun comes up I decide i’m leaving her house so I don’t have to face her parents in the morning. As soon as I step outside though I realise that i’m still tripping balls. I get to my house and can’t even open the door with my keys so I just keep on walking. I just checked and I ended up doing 15,000 steps in 3 hours just walking and waiting for the lsd to fade. I realise that it won’t go away until I go to sleep I end up going back to my friends house and sleep it off. So i’m back with my friend who’s also sti trippping (it like hour 15 btw) and take a nap.
After 3 hours I feel better and go home, where I sleep for 18 HOURS STRAIGHT!!!!!
Okay this is so long my bad but I need to tell someone wtf happened.
PSA please don’t hate on me for what I did, trust I am horrified and have apologised 1000 times

I planned to do 250ug yesterday so I took it 30 minutes before I got home so i would start to feel it when I’m inside. Once I parked my car when I got home I had a look in my boot to double check I had a full spare tire instead of a space saver. Tell my WHY I closed the boot and left my phone AND car key in it as the car locked itself. I was stone cold sober too ffs 😭
Not only that but I had my spare key in my car also since I was planning to get it fixed so I had to see if a locksmith was open. They were not, and a late night call out would be far too expensive.
So I had to rawdog this the trip because I had already swallowed it 30 minutes prior to disaster. It really wasn’t that bad but you could imagine how anxious the situation made me in this state, but I managed to just roll with it and only just got my phone back and car unlocked.

so i'm a high doser (600 ug is my sweet spot) and moved into a new place that's a bit of a hole in the wall. it's cheap, but the big tradeoff is that the place is absolutely CRAWLING with cockroaches. and i'm talking BIG ones.
the bathroom has always been my least favourite room when tripping (aside from the basement i guess) but holy shit cockroaches become a serious freakout. have been going very low-water while tripping (i know, not a great idea) just to avoid the bathroom. not that big a deal, but can definitely throw off the vibes, lol.
yall experienced any funny trip situations with bugs?
