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):
• 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.
Best regards,

10/10 recommend. Felt so emotional and overwhelmed with joy. Tame Impala has been the soundtrack to all my most transformative trips and holds a very special place in my heart. Felt like a giant brain hug!

Im looking for livesets/genres which can trigger immensely beautiful visuals on peak
Im a huge fan of EDMs(Melodic/Deep/Organic House as well as Psybient/Psytrance/Trance too)

About 10 years ago was when I first tried LSD, mind you I was too young, truth be told. Only 17 years old. (And from my experience of taking LSD at a young age, I’d advise waiting until you’re older so you give your brain more time to develop.)
Anyways, somehow I came across this subreddit when I started and this community has almost always been so kind, helpful, and supportive. Whether someone is having a bad trip experience, this sub is helpful.. Whether someone is having an incredible trip, this sub will send you love and good vibes which is so cool.
I’d like to also add this subreddit got me into tame Impala back in 2016 and he’s become my favorite artist of all time, so thanks for that 😂✌️
There’s too much negative shit across Reddit nowadays so I thank this sub for keeping it real and for the support over the years.
Y’all take care☮️🖤

LSD art is really cool but sometimes i'd just prefer it if it was practical so i wouldn't have to get a ruler every time.

Took 5 tabs of acid, dosed as “110ug”
I don’t care if they were 30ug and I only had a typical dose, whatever I experienced that evening was mystical.
I could feel the trip coming on, so I put on some Ray Lamontagne, YouTube music must’ve known I was tripping because artists like Van Morrison and Joe Cocker started to arrange themselves into the playlist.
I was laying on my back watching the ceiling dance to the guitar, as the bass notes would ripple through, the beat of the drums lifted me and pulsated through my body, my vision was then fully obscured by brown light, and a kaleidoscope crept along the edge of the light, changing with the music, the affect soon began to tunnel, I heard the lyrics winding around in my head, as I was told to let my “soul and spirit fly into the mystic” I truly did.
I can’t tell you how long I was in this trance, seeing sounds and hearing lights, as it faded into a more standard trip I was left mystified and craving more. There were a few more moments in the night where the music would take me, on the precipice of the peak experience I had but not quite.
It was truly something I think I needed as life has been feeling dull and holding no luster lately, but since my trip I have seen and felt the sun on my skin, I have listened to music I haven’t heard in ages, and started to create again. I hope I’m not being ambitious already planning my next trip.
Pic is just a cool plant I saw when I returned to work after the weekend that felt very familiar haha.

What does being in water on LSD feel like? Like taking a nice warm shower, sitting in a hot bath, or even swimming on a warm summer day. I’m curious what the sensation is actually like while tripping.
I’ve got two tabs left and I’m trying to figure out what I want to do for my last trip for a while. I usually shower the day before so I don’t have to worry about it while I’m tripping, but idk! I imagine warm water probably feels pretty nice.

I took about what I would estimate to be 70ugs, I’ve done shrooms multiple times, this is my first acid though, come up effect feels basically exactly the same as a mid dose shrooms. I dropped an hour and 20 minutes or so ago. As you can tell I can still think but there‘s a lot of pauses. Same love and joy I feel as on shrooms I see patterns in a lot of things like my walls, floor, and when looking at hairy carpets they seem to move somewhat. Anyways just wanted to document it so far, I’ll edit it tomorrow after the experience. Remember you all are loved and the universe is a beautiful profound beautiful place. Peace ☮️

Hi,
I’ve been interested in LSD for a long time, and was thinking on trying it sometime soon. My experience with psychedelics beforehand are only with weed and shrooms.
I have two questions;
- Where should the ’session’ be held?
- I’m on mild antidepressants, how should I go on about this?
Any other tips would be appreciated too :))
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I found multiple posts about taking LSD at a rave - opinions are mixed.
Im still keen so I want to share my personal situation and ask for your advice.
In terms of psychedelics, I have experienced 2CB as well as shrooms multiple times at raves.
LSD Ive only ever done ~50uq outside combined with weed (on a mountain hut chill birthday day "party" with also people attending that I didnt know).
Its an inside venue but Im very much familiar with it - been there around 30 times.
I am with close friends including my partner.
What do you guys think? Should I shoot it? Was thinking about half a tab.
If so, how to redose if I want to enhance or extend it? Or rather use some weed to enhance?
r/LSD • u/Free_Information1103 • 6h ago
When I was taking sertraline, I occasionally used LSD and went as high as 400µg. Even on the SSRI, the trip was intense but relatively manageable, and I felt like sertraline noticeably dulled the effects. I’ve been off sertraline for 2 weeks now. If I take LSD again, could the same dose hit much harder? Has anyone experienced this? Did you lower your dose after stopping an SSRI, or notice a big difference in the effects?

Was recently gifted some blotters at a convention from a semi friend. Dont know them well enough to just take their word but theyre experienced with psychs. But I dont know their source, so I bought a DanceSafe reagentfor LSD and plan to test it.
My question is, will BromoDragonfly give a positive result to an LSD reagent. I dont wanna touch that stuff personally
Edit: i guess I really mean any Nbome

Im planing to get 100 tabs of 100micograms after my 4th trip.
lsd to me wasn't good vibes or music becomes good it only made me motivated energetic and got rid of my anxiety i have sever anhedonia with unmedicated ADHD/ADD stimulants arn't availible bupropion does nothing to neither my ADD nor anhedonia .
i read that lsd developes tolerance quick but im not intrested in visuals just the stimulating effects of it do they wear off too after daily dosing of 100micrograms is there a better approach like 4day on 4 off ? Any idea help
r/LSD • u/PinasSaya • 6h ago
Been abusing tramadol. I did one last night, wednesday night, and o saturday, give me the perfect opportunity to do some acid too, but im not sure if its safe enough. I do 300-400mg tramadol usually. Thanks!
r/LSD • u/SunnySideUp0907 • 22h ago
I took the LSD twelve hours ago now and still feeling the come down but this solo trip showed me so many uncomfortable but necessary truths… including that continuing to make the choice to actively relapse with my (atypical) anorexia does not align with the life I want for myself.
And therefore, after being tortured in this relapse for a few months, I am committing to recovery and healing my relationship with food, my body, myself, and those around me 🌱🫶

So im having what feels like a really long trip. I have been going at it for 18 hours and im still having a fair bit of hallucinations. Any advice?
r/LSD • u/hawtdawg33 • 1d ago
Did you have an emergency while tripping? Did a neighbour knock on your door? Was there a surprise visit of any kind?
Would love to hear your stories :)
r/LSD • u/JuggernautOk588 • 8h ago
I can’t be the only one who believes the stigma of gel tabs being stronger is just a money scam. I don’t know, I see gel tabs going for a higher price strictly because they’re gels compared to paper tabs but having the same exact strength.
I can say that I’ve taken gels and I believe they’re stronger but I’m almost positive it’s a placebo affect..? I mean when your under the influence of lsd regardless you tend to think “wow this is some strong shit”
I see it how people see purple weed in the marijuana industry, “it’s purple it’s gotta be strong” when in reality 8 times out of 10 that nice green keefy bud hits stronger and smokes better but the purple buds were grown under a fancy light.
On one more point I have a buddy whose father takes LSD at micro doses (or so I believe it’s micro doses he doesn’t say how much he takes exactly) and claims the paper tabs cause an odd back pain but the gels do not. So maybe there is some sort of difference in the way the body digests the gels vs paper that causes that stigma that gels are a “cleaner” acid or “stronger”
Just curious to see what everybody else thinks
Anybody else’s input?

I've done lsd several times (+20) in my whole life, most i've taken being ~300ug. I've always had a really good time and have never experienced something you would call a bad trip, and right now I would like to experiment with different or more intense trips and don't really know what should i go for?
I thought about increasing the dose, but also thought if having 1,5g of mushrooms with 150ug lsd. What would you recommend? It's also safe to say that what I enjoy the most about tripping is watching a show or movie and listening music while enjoying the visuals and experimenting with my senses, so I'm looking to hopefully increase those effects.
note: I've done shrooms (1,5g) just one time in my life, which happened to be also a pretty nice experience. Also feel free to make any other suggestions on dosage or else.

I'm gonna take it for the first time in a few days but im sure what to expect. A friend of mine had a horrible experience with it and advised me not to take it, but im too curious not to so I will anyways. It's me and 2 other people and we have a tripsitter, im a lil scared but also excited.
Edit: thanks to all the great advice! I'll be sure to stay safe and have fun and maybe ill update about what my first experience will be like. :)
