Curious

I've never bought or taken bad/bunk acid before but I was wondering how hard (or easy) is it to actually sell fake acid? Which forms of acid are the easiest to get ripped off buying? What substances are usually used in place of actual acid (if any)?

 

Easy enough that I wouldn't buy acid from someone I didn't know, unless one of my friends told me about the acid that they bought from him. Presumably, the paper that the acid is put on, could be sold just the same as without the acid and it would look the same. But I've HEARD of all kinds of substances, or lack thereof, being put on blotter.

 

Well, blotter is easy as fuck to fake. It is a little harder to tell the difference between blotter paper and computer paper when you only have a couple tiny squares, and you are afraid to touch them so you keep them in tinfoil. Any small candies like sweet tarts and sugar cubes would do it too, but those might be easier to spot as fakes, as they might not flouresce under black light. I've only been ripped off on blotter once, though. TIP: Don't buy acid from a random meth-head that knocks on your door and asks you if you want your cable hooked up for $20.

 

Is this a common occurrence (people being sold fake acid)? I understand with any drug that aren't like pharmaceuticals or anything like that there is always a risk of it being tainted or fake or something totally different. Is there any way to test acid for it's purity or any tricks that are good to know about? The main reason I ask is because my main source for acid has gone out of business and i'll be looking for another source soon. It really sucks because I don't know anyone else so i'll be starting from scratch. I have already found two people both of which I don't know but they are friends of my brother. He doesn't do the stuff so he has no personal experience with their product. His friend however took some from one of the guys and supposedly tripped pretty nicely. Their price isn't really something to jump at and I have no way of knowing the quality without buying a hit and using myself as a guinea pig (which I am not fond of). One guy is selling blotter and sweet tarts and the other guy just blotter. I've never really messed with acid on sweet tarts before but he said it's from two different batches and the batch on the sweet tarts is stronger. He is selling both for the same price. I'm interested in knowing what I could be potentially taking if I do decide to give one of these guys a try. Is it even worth risking? How many people here have ever taken something sold as acid that they are sure wasn't? I would much rather buy a piece of paper with nothing on it and just be pissed off than take something that is going to hurt me.

 

My advice on the matter would be, if you need a new dealer, it can't hurt to buy a hit or two and see if the batch is good. I wouldnt pass up on acid altogether just because you are uncertain about the new dealer.

 

Acid is unique, because it is so powerful, you only need enough to fit on one tiny ass square of paper to make you trip. The only other drugs I've seen on paper were research chems, and the squares were huge. I'd say 99% of the time if you are buying blotter, it is either LSD or nothing. Lsd flouresces under black light, and I think I remember reading about a not-quite-foolproof field test for lsd that involved vinegar or something, and if the end result turned purple it was a positive test. I'll try to look for it and post the link if I can find it. My point is, though, you should be fine with the blotter. People do get ripped off with it OFTEN, though. I've been ripped off maybe 3 or 4 times with acid in one way or another, and I've only tried to obtain it maybe 20-25 times.

 

So testing it with a blacklght is a good start? Even with blotter? What if the blotter is white? Is it pretty definable(blotches, agated coloration)?

 

acid itself is odorless and colorless. some blotters will be completely white, some will have a design on them because the sheet it was cut from will have a cool picture on it. i have taken some blotters with coloration that was presumably not part of a larger design and i couldnt really tell you why that was--perhaps the kind of paper they used reacted to the acid--can someone confirm this? But they all had legit LSD on them. I would say dont worry about testing it under a blacklight and just test it by dropping it. Youll find out soon enough.

 

In my experience, street acid is the weakest. If you go to a festival (a small one) you're almost guarenteed to hit the "families" jackpot and spend the night with their uncle.

Blotter is easy to rip people off. You can buy blotter legally. And certain construction paper can be used as blotter as well. So instead of getting a couple hits of lysergic you're realy just getting some dudes arts and crafts.

 

I meant under the black light if the blotter was white would the acid show up as blotchy or agated. Out of all the blotter i've eaten most of which was on brown or white blotter very few times did it actually have a picture or design. I feel much more confident in giving it a try. My brother is pretty sure this guys stuff is legit so hopefully i'll be on the road to having a new source.

 

Never eard of that. Might be true. I kinda doubt it though. Regardless, buy a few hits. If it's bunk who cares? If it's not fake, go buy a sheet.

How much did you take?

 

well since you can put liquid acid on anything pretty much you could say you put acid on sugar cubes wrap them in tin foil and do that.. but thats fucked up and everyone would hate you :\

 

2 hits...

 

Prolly was just really weak or something. Did you even feel anything at all? You would have atleast felt something on 2 hits. If you were still completely sober I'd say it was just blank paper.

 

yeah i had somethin in it cause my pupils got really big but i wasnt even trippin
