Learn psychedelic mushroom safety tips, dosing guidelines, and what they feel like Onset – occurs in an hour and continues for 2 hours after ingestion Peak (strongest effects) – 3 hours after ingestion Come down (effects slowly waring off) hour 4 to 5 “afterglow” (lingering positive mood) – can last for 2 to 3 hours after effects have worn off Mushrooms home page Mushroom Dosing Guide Dosing mushrooms varies by type of mushroom (species) and the person's weight but here are some general rules. Mushroom stems and caps can be eaten straight, made into tea or chocolate, or put into capsule pills. Dried whole mushrooms are measured in grams. Dosing for mushrooms varies by type of mushroom (species) and the persons weight but there are some general rules. 3.5 grams is the average dose for a full experience mushroom trip. 3.5 is 1/8th of an ounce often called an “eighth.” this dose is average for someone of normal weight and is experienced with psychedelics. New users should start with less like 1 to 2.5 grams. 4.5 grams and over is very strong negative effects such as paranoia, excessive fear, disorientation much more than the average dose can. All doses of mushrooms can cause negative thoughts and feelings but the higher the dose the higher the chance of having a bad trip, especially when surpassing 4 dried grams at once. It must be understood that even though 3.5 grams is expected to be a “normal” dose there is a very wide variance in the strength of different types of mushrooms. There are hundreds of species of psilocybin mushrooms and each have differing strengths. How to test dose It is crucial to test dose (take 0.1 to 0.5 grams) every batch of mushrooms to test their strength. It is possible that 1 species of mushroom can be 10 times stronger than a different species. While 3.5 grams is the average, it is highly recommended to treat every type of mushrooms as if they are extremely potent and slowly increase the dose. The mushroom trip experience is very profound and intense even at normal dosages of 3.5 grams with average potency mushrooms. A normal dose takes between 15 minutes and an hour to start kicking in. The come up process occurs for about 2 hours since ingestion and the strongest effects occur from about hour 3 to hour 4 after ingestion. The peak of effects lasts about an hour and can cause strong time distortion, speeding up or slowing down perception of time. Fluid colors and object distortion can occur where objects seem to be swaying or “breathing.” (explain more in depth effects and risks). Mushroom effects will fade about an hour after the peak occurs and be mostly gone In about 6 hours. Next page

Learn about DMT. How to use it, how to stay safe, and how it effects the brain Pharmacology DMT Q&A DMT is often called “the spirit molecule” It is thought to be the most potent psychedelic drug known to science. DMT induces full out of body experiences known as ego death where the ability to realize you are alive or have lived is lost. DMT safety and dosing DMT stands for Dimethyltryptamine and 5-MeO-DMT is 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine. DMT is much stronger and lasts much less time than other psychedelics like LSD or mushrooms. The dosing guidelines provided below are for smoking DMT. Disclaimer: the dosage guidelines provided are extremely rough estimates and are not concrete. Variables such as purity, person's weight, and brain chemistry differences can all affect how DMT affects you at a certain dose. Use the dosages provided as a general idea and ALWAYS START SMALL and work your way up. There are defined levels and terminology for DMT trips. The difference between 30 and 40 mg of DMT powder causes a much stronger experience and is not noticeable to the naked eye. You must use a high quality milligram scale to safely dose this drug. DMT is often sold as a crystal or powder and is often smoked. Many people choose to put DMT onto marijuana and smoke it but that is not recommended as mixing marijuana with psychedelics raises the chances of having an overwhelming trip. DMT crystals are can be completely white but impurities in powders can cause an off-white, yellow, or light brownish color which is normal. Smoked DMT powder is often described as smelling and tasting like rubber or mothballs which is very distinct from any other smell. ayahuasca Dosing Pure DMT How illegal is DMT Ayahuasca is a brewed liquid traditionally from root bark and plants that contain DMT. Ayahuasca has a long history of use by South American religious groups as a sacred ritual where ayahuasca (DMT) drinks are consumed to cause psychedelic and spiritual experiences. The word ayahuasca is the name of a vine from the Amazon that contains DMT. While there are many plants used for ayahuasca a popular source of DMT is from the root bark of the plant Mimosa Hostilis. Mimosa Hostilis root bark is boiled which extracts the DMT from it. Drinking DMT root bark tea by itself will not give psychedelic effects. DMT is not an orally active molecule which is why the powder is often smoked. To make DMT tea orally active there must be a Monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) present. The liver enzyme Monoamine Oxidase breaks the DMT molecule down into a non-psychoactive derivative before it has a chance to cause psychedelic effects. Many metabolites are produced from DMT break down but mainly DMT-N-oxide (DMT-NO), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) which are not hallucinogenic. To prevent DMT breakdown in the liver the monoamine oxidase (MAO) must be blocked by way of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Many ayahuasca brews contain both a bark like Mimosa Hostilis and a plant containing MAOIs such as Banisteriopsis caapi (BC) and Peganum harmala (PH). Both MAOI plants contain an active monoamine oxidase inhibitor such as β-carbolines harmalol, harmine, and harmaline. By brewing a DMT-containing bark like Mimosa Hostilis and MAOI-containing plant such as Peganum harmala together the resulting brew will cause hallucinogenic DMT effects when consumed. DMT containing plants such as Mimosa hostilis root bark are usually legal to purchase and possess in the united states. Although pure DMT powder is a schedule 1 illegal drug there is a grey area in the law about the entire plant. Purchasing and possessing the plant or bark is legal while extracting and consuming DMT is illegal. DMT is an illegal Schedule 1 drug in the United States. Schedule 1 drugs are considered to have no medical benefits and high potential for abuse. The scheduling of a drug is determined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in America. Other Schedule 1 drugs include heroin, marijuana, and ecstasy (MDMA). The scheduling of drugs in America is very controversial and the scheduling does not always align with the current scientific research regarding the danger and abuse potential of the substances. DMT containing plants such as Mimosa hostilis root bark are usually legal to purchase and possess in the united states. Although pure DMT powder is a schedule 1 illegal drug there is a grey area in the law about the entire plant. Purchasing and possessing the plant or bark is legal while extracting and consuming DMT is illegal. An effective dose of DMT is very small and extremely potent so accurate measuring is crucial. You must use a scale that measures milligrams accurately and reliably. The average dose of smoked crystal (freebase) DMT is anywhere from 20 to 40 milligrams or 0.02 to 0.04 grams. Anything above 40 milligrams has a high chance of overwhelming the average person. DMT doses are so small that you must weigh them with a precision scale to remain safe and in control of your dose. For perspective, 50 milligrams is about how much a grain of rice weighs which is very small. Warning DMT carts are easily laced with deadly drugs like fentanyl. carts are the most dangerous way to ingest DMT How Ayahuasca is made Mimosa hostilis root bark DMT containing root bark is shredded and boiled to extract the psychedelic component Banisteriopsis caapi vine A monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) containing vine or bark is boiled with the DMT containing source to make the DMT orally active so psychedelic effects to occur when the brew is consumed Final product: ayahuasca The final brew contains orally active DMT which causes intense psychedelic effects when drank.

Learn how cocaine effects the brain from a simplified neuroscience perspective. How cocaine works in the brain cocaine main page cocaine molecule Cocaine hydrochloride (powder) is a catecholamine-like monoaminergic stimulant that blocks the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Cocaine’s molecular structure is chemically similar to endogenous dopamine. Similar structure causes the chemical to bind to dopamine transporters of dopaminergic terminals to blocks reuptake of DA, NE, and 5-Ht. The dopamine spike results in euphoria, hyperactivity, and increased focus. This quick dopamine hit gives cocaine its addiction potential as insufflation (snorting), injection, and smoking all deliver a fast rush of euphoria and energy which can cause psychological dependency. Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) also increases sharply from cocaine ingestion which results in potentially dangerous heart rate increase, vasoconstriction, and tremors. The sharp Noradrenaline spike also contributes to the intensity of the initial “rush” quickly after ingestion. Next page Cocaine as an anesthetic Cocaine is also an anesthetic similar to lidocaine which can numb anything the powder comes in contact with like nose, skin, mouth, and lung. Cocaine acts as an anesthetic because it blocks voltage gated sodium ion channels in nerve cells which increases the action potential threshold and slows the rate of depolarization. These shifts in action potential function makes physical sensation signals much less prevalent in the nerve cells cocaine touches.

Learn MDMA dosing, purity, what it feels like, and how molly effects the brain. MDMA Pharmacology MDMA ecstasy MDMA Q&A MDMA also known as ecstasy (XTC), molly, mandy, beans, and the love drug, is both a stimulant and psychedelic that causes euphoria, heightened energy, and increased empathy (wanting to be social and connected to others). MDMA stands for Methylene-dioxy-methyl-amphetamine. MDMA is chemically similar to Mescaline (psychedelic peyote cactus), and 2c-B. All these drugs act as a stimulant and a psychedelic simultaneously which increases the level of serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. These types of stimulating hallucinogens are called catecholaminergic psychedelics. High amounts of serotonin cause psychedelic effects and an increase in epinephrine or norepinephrine is responsible for the amphetamine-like energy boost. After all, the “A” in MDMA stands for amphetamine and the huge meth energy boost applies to MDMA users. MDMA aka Molly is the pure crystal version of the drug, the word “molecular” is shortened to "molly" to express that the drug is in its pure crystal form. The term "ecstasy" refers to the unpure pill form of the drug that contains MDMA crystals as well as fillers and colors to make the pill into a shape and different bright colors. In addition to fillers, ecstasy pills are often cut with other drugs like caffeine, meth, and synthetic cathinone known as “bath salts.” Ecstasy refers to colorful pills and MDMA (Molly) is the pure crystal that is snorted or swallowed. An average dose lasts about 4 hours with the strongest effects occurring about 2 hours after ingestion. On a serious note, before trying MDMA for the first time, you must be aware of the MDMA “hangover.” Hangover is in quotations because people often assume it is similar to alcohol hangover but MDMA’s after-effects are completely different. MDMA “hangover” is extremely severe compared to any other psychedelic. Since MDMA releases a very large amount of serotonin in your brain, there are extreme consequences to that. Like Issac Newton said, “What goes up must come down.” If your brain releases all of the serotonin it has, then your brain will be very depleted of serotonin when the drug wears off. Very low serotonin from an MDMA hangover causes severe depression which is characterized by thoughts of worthlessness, lack of motivation to do anything, exhaustion, and overall sadness. The MDMA comedown is particularly dangerous for those who are often depressed or anxious as the hangover will exacerbate the negative feelings you naturally have. Someone who has major depressive disorder experiencing an MDMA comedown is at extremely high risk for self-harm or suicide because of the severe lack of serotonin for the few days after the MDMA experience. The negative feelings can last anywhere from 1 to 6 days until the brain has replenished natural serotonin balance in the brain. What does MDMA feel like Dosing Pure MDMA How illegal is MDMA What is MDMA laced with? The effects of pure MDMA manifest as both psychedelic perceptions and stimulated sensations. Molly is known as a party and dance drug because it greatly increases feelings of love, excitement, euphoria, and eagerness. On a correct dose and in the correct setting, music sounds better, dancing is more fun, connecting with other is easier and more enjoyable, and overall happiness is increased. I will explain why these feelings occur in the pharmacology portion of this drugs analysis. Overall, to imagine the effects of MDMA just think of all the times you have felt extreme pleasure, such as sex, graduating, winning a sports championship. Take the sensation of pleasure and excitement from those events and understand that MDMA mimics those events in the brain and matches those feelings. Many MDMA explain that the euphoria from the drug is actually more strong that any other activity they have gotten pleasure from before. The extreme magnitude of pleasurable feelings that MDMA delivers is the reason for its huge potential for psychological addiction and substance use disorder. The MDMA experience is subjective, while some may enjoy the feelings, others could find it underwhelming or overstimulating and not enjoyable in either situation. MDMA is an illegal Schedule 1 drug in the United States. Schedule 1 drugs are considered to have no medical benefits and high potential for abuse. The scheduling of a drug is determined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in America. Other Schedule 1 drugs include heroin, marijuana, and LSD. The scheduling of drugs in America is very controversial and the scheduling does not always align with the current scientific research regarding the danger and abuse potential of the substances. Crystal MDMA is easier to dose if the crystals are relatively pure. Ecstasy pills have unknown amounts of MDMA in them so dosing is difficult. It is highly recommended to purchase pure MDMA crystals and reagent drug test them to confirm it is real molly. An average dose of pure MDMA crystal is about 125 milligrams. 125 mg will affect people differently based on their body weight. There are some MDMA dosing calculators online based on body weight and height. It is critical to chemical test your MDMA to confirm you have the correct drug. Molly is a very commonly “faked” or cut with other drugs like designer drugs, bath salts (cathinones) and methamphetamine. Many drugs such as MDA, 5-APB, meth, and various cathinones: Methylone, mephedrone, and N-ethyl-pentylone. The extensive list of shows the many possible “imposter substances” than can be sold as MDMA. It is very possible that a dealer does not truly know what their “ecstasy” is made of so reagent testing is absolutely essential before ingesting any form of supposed MDMA. It is recommended to use both the Marquis and Simons reagent testing kits on MDMA. By using a very small sample of the crystal or pill, using just a drop of the reagent reacts with the chemical on the sample and changes colors based on a chemical reaction. If the crystal or pill contains MDMA then the Marquis reagent can tell you the presence of MDMA or similar drugs like MDA which is a designer drug commonly used to make fake Ecstasy. Then using the Simons reagent can differentiate the presence of MDMA and other imposter substances. It is best to use a couple reagents instead of one to double check for other reactions that can indicate other substances present in the pill. It should be noted that reagent testing CANNOT tell you the strength of the pill it only tells you the presence of chemicals in it. So if the Marquis reagent indicates MDMA in the pill it can mean there is anything between 1/10th of a dose up to 5 doses, there is no way to know without thorough laboratory testing. Just because a reagent indicates that MDMA is in the pill it does not mean it is a safe dose, so always start with a test dose and build your way up to prevent a possible overdose. How to use MDMA / ecstasy safely MDMA use comes with many risks such as overdose, strain on the body, and addiction potential. Firstly, the most common risk during MDMA use is the high likelihood of extreme overexertion. Molly causes lots of energy, desire to keep moving, and not sleeping. It is easy for those under the influence to dance too much, sleep too little, and neglect their bodies reactions. You body may give you signs of fatigue that would be noticeable when sober but MDMA may make you unaware that your heart rate is extremely high, very dehydrated, and very hot. Heat stroke, heart attack, and lethal dehydration are greatly increased while using MDMA. Since this drug is often used at concerts, raves, or clubs the users are often moving around a lot and possibly in the sun at a festival. It is crucial to remind yourself that you may be unaware of the strain your body is going through. Just because you do not feel tired that doesn’t mean you are ok to keep dancing for hours and hours on end in the sun. MDMA makes you feel such a way that blinds you from your bodies own signs telling you to do something like sit down or drink water. It is critical to reagent test MDMA.

Final Step ALWAYS USE A FENTANYL TESTING STRIP Use a fentanyl test for every drug you intend to take. it will save your life. Mixing MDMA with other drugs Users often dangerously mix MDMA with other drugs to enhance the trip and euphoric feelings. MDMA is sometimes mixed with the psychedelic 2C-B called “Nexus Flipping” or MDMA and LSD called “candy flipping.” Mixing 2 or more psychedelic or stimulant drugs can be very dangerous as the effects become more unpredictable and can synergize the drug’s effects making overdose or overstimulation much more likely. One possible risk of mixing 2 psychedelics together is serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is a complication when serotonin levels in the brain are too high and the body cannot counteract it. Mixing 2 drugs that influence serotonin such as antidepressants and MDMA can cause large amounts of serotonin release and too little reuptake which overloads the serotonin receptors. Serotonin syndrome symptoms include muscle spasms, severe confusion, seizures, hyperventilation, and in very severe cases death by heart attack. Serotonin syndrome is very serious and should be considered before deciding to mix 2 or more psychedelic drugs. Anything that effects serotonin risks serotonin syndrome, everything from antidepressants, LSD, MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, amphetamines, and opioids as well. Other than serotonin syndrome the individual effects of each additional drug can present danger. MDMA is known to increase blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature. MDMA effects mixed with another stimulant like amphetamines (Adderall, speed, meth) which also cause increased heart rate can put excessive stress on the body and increase likelihood of heart attack, seizure, stroke, and overheating. MDMA / ecstasy is a very powerful drug and consuming other substances with it should be avoided or very cautiously dosed and thought out at the very least. Molly is a substance from the empathogen drug class There are not many empathogens used for recreational use but MDMA and its analogues are the most popular empathogens. MDMA analogues and similar drugs include MDA, MDEA, 5-APB, methylone, mephedrone, and many others.

Learn LSD pharmacology from a simplified neuroscience perspective. Pharmacology of LSD Learn how LSD works in the brain from a molecular perspective Main LSD page Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a monoaminergic psychedelic with a chemical structure very similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Upon consumption, the LSD molecule crosses the blood-brain barrier and binds to 8 different serotonin receptors mainly the 5HT2A receptor. LSD binding agonizes (binds to) this receptor and causes an increase in 5HT2A serotonin firing. The proposed reason for LSD's lengthy duration is due to the formation of a "lid" on the serotonin receptor. It is believed that the LSD molecule creates a type of lid that hinders the reuptake of the molecule, making it more difficult for it to be broken down and removed from the serotonin receptor. This prolonged interaction with the receptor contributes to the extended effects of LSD compared to endogenous (naturally occurring) serotonin. Next page LSD analogues (drugs similar to LSD) LSD is illegal and completely unregulated since it is produced and distributed illegally the purity, dose, and substance is unknown when dealing with LSD. When people say LSD they mean the chemical Lysergic acid diethylamide. There are many analogues of LSD that are known and being researched. A drug analogue is a chemical that looks and behaves very similarly to another chemical while having very slight differences . For example, Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) has a very similar chemical called 1p-LSD. The 1p-lsd molecule looks nearly identical to someone without a background in chemistry but there is a slight difference between LSD and 1p-LSD. Both chemicals are psychoactive and cause psychedelic effects but LSD is schedule 1 illegal and 1p-LSD is considered a research chemical and not directly illegal. The Federal analogue act of 1986 in the United States stated that a chemical that is substantially similar to an illegal drug should be considered illegal as well but only if the chemical is intended for human consumption. Some research companies in Canada legally distribute analogues of LSD such as 1p-LSD, 1b-LSD, 1v-LSD. All these chemicals are very similar to LSD but not exactly the same. There are definitely differences between them but they are all psychedelic and are measured in microgram doses similar to Lysergic Acid diethylamide (regular LSD). (both tabs contain 1p-LSD) Sometimes analogues are on labeled blotter paper. Most analogues are meant to trick buyers into thinking it is real LSD. 1-propanoyl-lyserigic acid diethylamine Fun fact LSD was made on accident by Swiss scientist Albert Hoffman in 1943. He dosed himself by mistake and experienced the first LSD trip ever! ALBERT HOFFMAN: THE CREATOR OF LSD

Learn LSD dose, effects, safety tips, and how acid works in the brain. LSD LSD, also known as Acid & Lucy, is a very potent psychedelic drug that causes visual hallucinations and alters perception and mood. The acronym LSD stands for Lysergic acid diethylamide. LSD effects are similar to psilocybin mushrooms (magic mushrooms), as they both mimic the brain chemical serotonin. the duration of the trip lasts approximately 6 to 10 hours with the strongest effects occurring at 3 hours after ingestion. Pharmacology LSD tab dosing How to dose correctly What does LSD feel like? To safely ingest LSD it is crucial to understand that it is very potent even in low doses. A typical dose of LSD is 100 micrograms which is equivalent to 0.1 milligrams or roughly the size of a grain of sand. One tab can contain anywhere from 1 microgram to 500 micrograms. It is difficult to determine the correct dose of LSD because a couple grains of sand worth of LSD can turn a normal dose into an extremely strong one. Doses are sold in various forms including, blotter paper, gelatin tabs, or crystal LSD dissolved in alcohol known as a “vial.” It is not possible to precisely know how many micrograms are on a tab without lab testing so it is critical to take a test dose. Microdosing 1/20th to 1/10th of a tab no psychedelic (visual) effects but minor mood lifting may occur. The microdose level should only influence subconscious emotion, thinking, and perception. Many believe microdosing increases both productivity and creativity and has anti-depressent effects. The benefits are being researched but no definitive conclusions about risk and reward can be given without thorough research. Very low dose (1/10th to 1/5th of a tab Minor psychedelic (visual) effects may or may not occur. Colors may seem brighter and surfaces may have moving patterns covering them. Mood should be noticeably altered with increased deep thought and noticing details, colors, and surroundings like nature may be much different than sober perceptions. Low to moderate dose (1/4 to 1/5 of a tab) Effects will become very noticeable above a quarter tab. visual hallucinations like colors and patters will become apparent and increase in intensity as the dose increases after .25 tabs. Wonder filled thoughts and feelings of stimulation begin to intensify at this dose. Mood can increase with feelings of exitement and slight euphoria. Even a low dose can cause anxiety and sometimes fear if your mindset and location are not correct. Tripping in a very public place like a concert or crowded beach are more likely to cause anxiety compared to a calm house or soothing nature. normal dose (full psychedelic trip) 1 full tab 1 tab is designed to be the perfect dose for full psychedelic effects while usually remaining controllable and not too intense for. at 1 full tab the colors and patterns are very apparent and occur when eyes are both open and closed. Objects often “breath” which means swaying and bending in a magical type way. You may notice the floor, walls, trees, hands, and surfaces sway and have patterns overlayed on them. Vibrancy of colors is heightened and closed eye visuals contain all colors of the rainbow that create complex shapes and infinite kaleidoscopic patterns. Intense feelings of stimulation and alertness. Even though 1 tab is an average dose for a full trip there is still a chance that paranoia or anxiety can occur. The best way to prevent them is to take LSD with people you trust in a place that makes you calm / comfortable Very heavy dose (greater than 1 full tab) heavy doses above 1 full tab are very potent and marks the point where bad trips become more likely. The effects of 1.5 to 3 tabs may be much too intense for any beginner or even experienced people. At this dose the psychedelic visuals may distort and fill vision so intensely that it is difficult to see straight and identify things around you which is very dangerous. Thought loops are very common at these doses and negative loops including terror, paranoia, and detachment from reality may be overwhelming and cause outbursts or extreme confusion. It is critical to have someone you trust who remains sober to keep you safe on a dose that large. Ego death is possible when many tabs are taken at once. Ego death is when the trip is so strong you forget that you are alive and is similar to being in a trance. Time and reality and shattered and your actions and behavior may be out of your control. It is extremely risky to experience ego death alone, with strangers, or anywhere in public. To test the strength of a tab, it is advised to start by ingesting 10% of a tab to gauge the strength. 10% of a normal 100 microgram tab should not cause any visual distortions whatsoever. You may experience slight mood changes but such a low dose should cause very minimal noticeable effects. If visual effects are noticeable with 10% of a tab then the tab is much stronger than a standard dose. Once a low dose is tested you can help prevent taking too much in the future. If you are confident that 10% of a tab is not strong then slowly start increasing amount of dose up to a full tab. LSD can be absorbed in the mouth or digested in the stomach. The most effective method of ingestion involves placing the tab underneath the tongue then swallowing the paper 15 minutes later. Alternatively, the tab can be swallowed immediately but the psychedelic effects may be delayed a bit longer than the under the tongue method. After ingesting the tab, the effects should begin within 45 minutes. If there are no effects at all within 1.5 hours the tab is either very weak or did not contain LSD at all. DO NOT take another tab unless at least 2.5 hours have gone by with zero effects. You do not want to take another dose before the last one has gotten the full amount of time to onset. LSD Q&A Onset – occurs within an hour Intensity increase – hour 1 to 3 Peak - (strongest effects) – 3 hours after ingestion Come down - (effects slowly waring off) hour 4 to 8 "afterglow” - (lingering positive mood) – can last for 2 to 8 hours after effects have worn off How to see if your LSD is real It is critical to reagent test LSD.

Click here to get reagents on Dance Safe Reagent testing LSD step 1 Ehrlich reagent Real LSD causes a purple color when it comes in contact with the Ehrlich reagent Any other color besides purple indicates the tab does not contain LSD and may be laced with a different drug It is critical to reagent test your LSD to confirm you have the correct drug. Reagent testing LSD is extremely recommended because it can save your life. The “Ehrlich” reagent test is the preferred test for LSD. The Ehrlich reagent kit will reliably test blotter tabs of LSD. The Ehrlich reagent works by placing one drop of the reagent on about 1/20th of a blotter tab. The reagent reacts with the chemical on the tab and changes colors based on the chemical reaction. If the LSD is real then the Ehrlich reagent will yield a purple color within 5 seconds to 5 minutes. If there is no color or anything different than purple you cannot be certain your tab contains LSD and you should throw the tabs away. Reagent testing LSD step 2 Hoffman reagent Real LSD causes a blue color when it comes in contact with the Hoffman reagent NBOMe drugs are an LSD imposter substance that can kill you. Make sure the color is not yellow or amber colored. Those colors indicate a drug different than LSD and may be NBOMe drugs. (See 25D and 25B NBOMe in the image to the right). You must use the Hoffman reagent as well to test tabs. Hoffman reagent can detect the difference between real LSD and different variants of NBOME. The Hoffman reagent yields a blue color when it touches real LSD and different types of yellow or pink for other substances like 25i-nbome, 2c-I, and 25B-NBOME. There are similarities and very important differences between LSD and NBOME. LSD dose ranges from 40 micrograms (low) to 250 (high) with the average being 100 to 150 micrograms. Whereas NBOME doses are mild at 250 to 450 micrograms high doses are around 450 to 800 micrograms. The dosages between LSD and NBOME seem different in numbers but the difference of 200 micrograms to 600 is extremely small to the naked eye. Since it is nearly impossible to visually distinguish how much of a drug is on blotter paper or in a vial or gelatin tabs it is best to test the substance with an Ehrlich reagent kit. LSD by itself can not kill you by overdose but NBOME can kill you very easily. The worst that can happen in a high LSD dose is terror, anxiety, and confusion. But you will live and not experience noticeable brain damage even in extremely high doses. On the other hand, NBOME compounds can directly kill you LSD in any form like blotter paper, gelatin tabs, or liquid in a vial is tasteless and odorless. An LSD dose cannot be visually measured because 100 micrograms is microscopic. It is essential to be aware that street dealers may sell dangerous counterfeit substances presented as LSD. For instance, the psychedelic compound 25I-NBOMe is sometimes passed off as acid. However, NBOMe compounds are much more harmful than LSD, only a few grains of salt worth of NBOME compounds can lead to severe health complications, including heart failure, seizures, and death. LSD doses typically range from 40 micrograms (low) to 250 micrograms (high), with the average dose falling between 100 to 150 micrograms. In contrast, NBOMe doses are considered mild at 250 to 450 micrograms, with high doses reaching around 450 to 800 micrograms. While the microgram gap may seem large, in reality, a difference of 300 micrograms is extremely hard to visually notice while being much more powerful. Given that visually determining the quantity of a substance on blotter paper, in a vial, or gelatin tabs is virtually impossible, it is highly recommended to test the substance using an Ehrlich reagent kit. NBOMe compounds have the potential to cause lethal consequences. The lethal dose of NBOMe can be as little as 2 milligrams (2000 micrograms), which is a minuscule amount. LSD Tolerance LSD often carries misconceptions and negative stigma in the public eye. While all psychoactive substances carry risks, the level and nature of the risk vary between different drugs. LSD is widely recognized as having a very low potential for addiction. The low addiction risk is due to the unique tolerance built for LSD when used consistently. When is LSD used more than once a week tolerance builds up quickly, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effects. For example, if someone takes a 100 microgram tab of LSD every day for a week, by the seventh day, that same 100 microgram tab would have significantly diminished psychedelic effects, perhaps feeling like only 1.5 micrograms which has zero psychedelic effects. The drastic drop in effect makes LSD nearly impossible to become addicted to because you have to increase the dose to absurd levels. After a week of everyday use, someone would have to consume 128 tabs to feel average psychedelic effects. The number of LSD needed to be consumed is doubled each consecutive day it is used which makes the likelihood of someone becoming addicted to LSD extremely low. Similarly, there have been zero reliably recorded cases of LSD overdose caused solely by LSD in those without prior medical conditions or mixing other substances with LSD. 100 LSD gel tabs Gel tabs come in many different colors and shapes Color or shape do not indicate strength or purity 100 LSD blotter tabs Blotter tabs can have infinite amount of designs.

Learn how amphetamines effect the brain from a simplified neuroscience perspective Meth and adderall pharmacology It might be suprising to some but meth and adderall work the EXACT SAME WAY in the brain everything written below applies to both meth and adderall equally main page American society often associates methamphetamine with addiction, death, overdose, and crazy people. Adderall is viewed as a medicine good for studying and productivity at work. Pharmacology research and chemical analysis shows that methamphetamine and Adderall are the EXACT SAME DRUG when it comes to addiction potential, psychoactive effects, as well as mental damage. All scientific literature you can find online will tell you the chemical structures are 99% similar and the 1% difference goes away one once the drug is ingested in any form. The images below displays the similarities. Amphetamine base chemical name is alpha-methylphenethylamine Crystal Methamphetamine is a hydrochloride salt Adderall is a mixture of levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine Amphetamines bind to presynaptic membrane of dopaminergic neurons and release massive amounts of dopamine especially in the striatum. Then amphetamine molecules bind to dopamine reuptake transporters which prevents dopamine from leaving synaptic gap and reversing dopamine transporters which causes free dopamine to be transported out of the terminal. High doses of amphetamines even cause monoamine oxidase inhibition which prevents dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin breakdown. Inhibiting monoamine oxidase increases all monoamine prevalence and receptor interactions. Chemical comparison Amphetamine (Adderall) only has 1 more hydrogen and 1 less methyl group (CH3) than meth.

Learn about drugs similar to LSD. Are they legal? do they feel the same? how are they different? LSD's analogues (drugs similar to LSD) Main LSD page LSD is illegal and completely unregulated since it is produced and distributed illegally the purity, dose, and substance is unknown when dealing with LSD. When people say LSD they mean the chemical Lysergic acid diethylamide. But there are many analogues of LSD that are known and being researched. A drug analogue is a chemical that looks and behaves very similarly to another chemical while having very slight differences. For example, Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) has a very similar chemical called 1p-LSD. The 1p-lsd molecule looks nearly identical to someone without a background in chemistry but there is a slight difference between LSD and 1p-LSD. Both chemicals are psychoactive and cause psychedelic effects but LSD is schedule 1 illegal and 1p-LSD is considered a research chemical and not directly illegal. The Federal analogue act of 1986 in the United States stated that a chemical that is substantially similar to an illegal drug should be considered illegal as well but only if the chemical is intended for human consumption. Some research companies in Canada legally distribute analogues of LSD such as 1p-LSD, 1b-LSD, 1v-LSD. All these chemicals are very similar to LSD but not exactly the same. There are definitely differences between them but they are all psychedelic and are measured in microgram doses similar to Lysergic Acid diethylamide (regular LSD). (both tabs contain 1p-LSD) Sometimes analogues are on labeled blotter paper. But most analogues are meant to trick buyers into thinking it is real LSD.
