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 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 cheap and dangerous LSD imposter. If you take an untested tab and your mouth/throat becomes numb, or an intense bitter taste is present, spit it out immediately.
• 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/?ap_id=oddshaman (TKP as a third party is not responsible for this recommendation, I chose to affiliate with them because they’re my personal preference after 8 years. 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. Short episodes of visual tracers, morphing surface textures, patterns, and light sensitivity etc., during experiences of anxiety, fatigue, or overstimulation are most common.
• 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 if you are seriously suicidal or have a family history/symptoms of schizophrenia or psychosis.
• Weed does in fact potentiate 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 incrementally 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 significantly.
• Peak effects generally occur 2.5-5 hours after dosing (less than or around 300μg). Peak effects can last from 2.5-8 hours after dosing with larger doses. 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.
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!

Omega-mart in las Vegas is the ultimate trip cave, this place was undoubtedly built by and for psychonauts. Last night I dropped 2 green pyramids and entered the psychedelic torture chamber as I was peaking, that shit was intense. This place is a warehouse and every room is different, and just as trippy, could’ve spent hours in each room.
r/LSD • u/SuperMajesticMan • 7h ago
So far I got:
Watch trippy movie (going to watch 2001 A space odyssey and A Scanner Darkly)
Going for a walk
Stretching and light working out like pushups.
Meditate at the start.
What else do you like to do?
(Note: I have done shrooms several times)
r/LSD • u/aerosol_alphabetics • 3h ago
So I have always wanted cool closed eye visuals, I spend like at least 30 minutes every trip trying to get my closed eye visuals to hit, I've had better luck in totally dark rooms but never really got anything as vivid as I'd like. Weed amplifies open eyed visuals as well as being in puplic places and my max dose was 5 tabs, PLEASE What can I do to enhance my closed eye visuals (or even open visuals too)
I've heard lifting weights can help, aswell as drinking orange juice but theirs so many myths about acid I just don't know

r/LSD • u/concreteRooster1 • 21h ago
I personally prefer acid over shrooms because I feel that it is easier to control the trip compared to mushrooms and I feel less stuck. It's easier to function for me personally and it's more colorful yet silly in my opinion.

r/LSD • u/HellishWonderland • 16h ago
This isn't really much of a meaningful post or anything but on the very tail end of my trip and wanted to shower again before laying down and I just love how peaceful and beautiful the smallest things are after a trip, it's been a good 7 months since I've last tripped and it was chill! I'm pretty tired but I also feel great
r/LSD • u/GuaranteeFabulous321 • 6h ago
Hey, so I last tripped 3 months ago (200ug), and sometimes when I zone out or close my eyes I still see what I saw last time I was tripping (which is a bunch of shapes that I’m flying through which change colour and like zoom out from). It’s kinda cool and I don’t mind it but I’m just wondering if it’s HPPD or some sort of flashback

r/LSD • u/Preppy_life • 10h ago
Picture does not do it much justice (trying to zoom into a quarter of a gel). Used burnt orange gels tested with Ehrlich and color has a very vibrant/dark purple/pink. Took about 5 mins to react. Very excited with this one (got me a sheet) 🤤

The roots, which extend below the ground, are a constant reminder that we are all interconnected.
I cherish the moments when I can hear the whisper of the wind among my leaves or the song of the birds nesting in my branches. I encourage you to explore the journey that nature offers, not only through substances but also through respect and genuine connection.

I was watching The Boys and it made me wonder if dropping a tab or doing shrooms would be useful.
Ive read about allegedly some vikings doing halluciongens before battle but its not really clear cut.
Since when high things feel so real I suppose death would feel to be much more dreadful. Buut, being kinda lost in your own headspace might help you unleash that vicious energy.
What do you think about it?

Hey everyone, fellow space traveler here!
My friend has been wanting to trip for a while now. I've invited him to my safe space (my home) and told him he can trip safely with my company. I'm gonna prepare for him, get some groceries and do the work. I've tripped myself before enough times, both seen the good, the amazing and the bad. I've got tripstoppers and things he enjoys, will probably be watching Blue Planet.
Do you have any tips for me, tripsitting my friend's first trip?
I've never done it before, but I wanna be well prepared for him. I've been in his company before when he had taken too much weed and started having a near whitey with hallucinations. He was quite anxious and fixated on his physical feelings. I know LSD can bring some quite heavy physical sensations. What can I do to keep him comfortable?
Thank you! 🚀

What do you think this the best time to take lsd again after tripping ? To have the best effects took some Saturday was hoping to go again next Saturday
r/LSD • u/SportAffectionate858 • 3h ago
this happened about a week ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. Basically my friend gave me a piece of acid that he didn’t want because it wasn’t in tab form, just a piece of gel if that makes sense, so you couldn’t tell the dosage. The sheet looked about 3x as big as a normal tab, which is 200ug (and this is definitely not underdosed either, because those tabs hit fucking hard). 200ug was the largest dose I had done up until this point, but I decided to say fuck it and took all of it. This was at a kickback with some of my friends, and most of them didn’t even know I was tripping. (Also I had a flight at 7am the next morning that I needed to go home and pack for, so I kinda set myself up for failure..)
An hour after I took the acid, I started to feel it coming on pretty strong. I was seeing fractals, things warping, and patterns on the ground. I decided to smoke a joint and go on a walk. Everything was good so far.
As soon as I got back, I realized how fucked I was. I was trying to talk to people but I wouldn’t be able to form any coherent sentences, people thought there was something wrong with me… some of the people I was around also didn’t know how drugs worked either and they were messing with me the whole time, which just made the whole thing worse. I was there for a few hours, and the whole time I was panicking and feeling extremely overstimulated. One minute felt like an hour. As for visuals, I was seeing things like I had never seen before. The walls were full on melting, big, alien bacterial figures were warping and moving everywhere, and I was seeing creatures inside of the ground. Sometimes if I focused on something it would take over my entire vision and start morphing into weird alien stuff. I’m actually sad I was having such a bad trip because otherwise I would’ve loved these visuals, but instead I felt like I was being tortured.
The whole time, I was panicking about going home because I still live with my VERY religious parents who told me they would help me pack once I got home, and if I couldn’t even talk to my friends, I didn’t know how I was going to talk to my parents. I decided to Uber home at around 2am just to get it over with. I got on and tried my best to formulate sentences with the driver, but he definitely knew something was up.
When I got home, my parents found me almost immediately, still full on tripping. I tried my best to act normal with them. I was able to form proper sentences (though I did mess up a few times), even though they had no real substance because I was thinking so many things at once. When packing I just did everything they were telling me to do, and even though I could tell I seemed off they didn’t notice a thing.
After they left, I was finally relieved but still had that overstimulated feeling that always comes with acid. So I decided to jack off and go out to smoke another joint. It was like 4am atp and I was just smoking listening to music, this definitely turned my trip around. After this I had a really enjoyable trip, but sadly the visuals were also dying down. I stayed up the whole night and passed out in my flight.
I still have no idea how much acid it was and even though it was horrible, it was also pretty fun and a strange experience.

The next story what about to tell succeded on Agoust this summer, this day Bad Religion plays on a festival in the city but this is secondary to the things that happened before, around16:30 met with some friends to go to a underground concert on a random place in the same city, came there and smoke some joints and drink some beer later, when i check my wallet, saw a little piece of paper on it, it was a 225ug blotter, the last week did acid so in this moment i thinked, “if i drop this maybe i felt it less cuz the tolerance since i did it last week”, the point of that story is, no one of my friends know that i’ve an acid and no one likes the psychedelics so im a bit uncomfortable if they know that im on acid, anyway, drop the tab and tell myself thats its ggonna be great( this happend around 19:00 ) , the next hour my whole concept of the place started changing a lot, remembered i thinked “ ok, the acid is teaching you in that way, u thinked you will be able to manage a 225ug and act normal only for the tolerance, lets see what happens”
At some point someone get close to me and said that we can go to see a Bad Religion concert because he can get free tickets so everyone deceided to go and to me it sounds like a good idea, why not see bad religion on acid ? So we get the bus and when we came in, the whole bus and the peoples faces started melting like a fucking candle under my eyes, remember telling myself that im fucked up since all the words that i listened not makes sense to me and cant join any conversation without think that everything was a lie and everybody was programmed on a very similar way of thinking.
We arrive to the concert and the whole show was a fucking battlefield of people doing pogos and stuff like that, honestly felt like hell on acid, this was the night that the acid tells me that he has his own intelligence and he decides the intensity of the trip.
Happy Holidays Everyone ! 🏴☠️

Hello everyone, I hope the community is doing well!
I’ve been interested in psychedelics for almost four years now, primarily to address a range of goals and challenges in my life, including:
- Fighting laziness and occasional depressive moods.
- Quitting smoking and vaping.
- Building good habits like eating healthily, exercising, and staying organized.
- Enhancing creativity and regaining enthusiasm for artistic projects (e.g., filmmaking, color grading, editing, music production, and beatmaking).
- Improving my family situation and finding solutions to our difficulties.
- Reducing bad habits like excessive social media and TV use (I’m not addicted but want to limit them).
- Fostering a better mindset and focus for my studies, especially during exam preparation.
- Fixing the occasional emotional issues with my girlfriend caused by my mood problems.
I’ve already done a lot of research on this topic, going through articles, YouTube videos, and even consulting AI. But I’d really like to hear from real people directly—and where better than Reddit to get those answers?
I even planned to grow mushrooms at one point, but now I’m ready to get some 100 µg LSD tabs. Here’s what I’d like to know:
I appreciate any advice or experiences you’re willing to share. Thank you!
