I've tried acid 3 times on 3 separate occasions. The first time I ate one hit. Of course, I expected way too much from it, and all that really ended up happening was I got really high. No crazy visuals, no communing with deities, no life-changing spiritual experience. The second time I also took one hit, and not a thing happened (I think this may have been just untreated paper, oh well, I didn't pay anything for it). The third time I took 2 hits and was already flying on a pot-mushroom brownie. It was an extremely psychedelic high, just nothing like Leary described in his book. On the way back to town I met a cab driver who was hip to drugs and lived through the sixties and he told me the stuff on the street today just isn't LSD-25. There really is a big difference between the stuff Owsley made in the '60s and the stuff you get today, isn't there? Is it possible to find anything even close?
“The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.”
i almost always get great lsd. the first year i started buying acid i got a few research chemicals insted of lsd. but as i grew up i evolved with the scene and was able to discover where the lsd flows like water. since then ive been able to get large amounts of "lsd-25". oh, and you can get lsd blotter as good as, and better then the blotter of yesteryear.
the problem with acid these days is that its impossible for u to find out what the fuck is in the blotter or the amount of it b4 u try it. n some of those research chemicals suck n r totally different than acid and r fuckin speedy, n the trip lasts for 24 hours.
thats why its a good idea to trust your soure... though i know thats not possiable for everyone at this point. dont just buy off of anyone. be patiant and buy the best.
from what i understand, the main differences are: -the acid isn't as pure (owsley had extraordinarily clean acid, many chemists today just don't care as much [though some do!]) -it comes in smaller doses (a pill in the 60s might have had well over 200 ug—they didn't fuck around. now, you'd be lucky to find a blotter with micrograms in the triple digits)
well, LSD-25 is the name sandoz used and they dont make it anymore, so YES, it's gone...HOWEVER- the good acid today is just as good as the orance sunshine and white lightning that bear made in his basement. if you want some good LSD... observe the sample under a blacklight. real LSD will glow like somthing from outer space. then, TASTE it, and if it HAS a taste, its crap. Test 3- eat the stuff. if it passed the first 2 tests and the person you bought it from has been your good friend for a long time... you are really really going to have a good time. REAL acid is unparalelled. you either KNOW , or you just dunno.
i think that its more underground because the laws against it are so damn bad no one can find it but you know its always there no matter where u r at....
I don't know about you, but the shit I get causes full on visuals on 1 hit. But this has been coming from the same guy for like a year.
another difference between now and the 60's aside from acid quality is the general attitude about acid. a trip is exactly what you make of it and back then in the beginning people approached it as a spiritual experience and received it. there are many different attitudes about acid now as it's had time to simmer on the societal stove and be different things to different people. A whole range of trips and visuals have been encountered and circulated into the counterculture to the point at which you pretty much have to forget everything you know about acid in order for its potential to be maximized.
I agree as well. But I also might add that, the emergance of much more hardcore "experimental" chemicals, may make people believe acid is weaker than what it used to be, when it is that same we just expect more. Plus, when you hear about acid you are usually hearing about the best trip someone has ever had, it dosn't mean every trip will be like that.
actually DMT n Ketamine r stronger than LSD... Acid is funner though... But nuthin compares to a K Hole...
Its true a RC could be sold as LSD, but RC's are more expensive to make, are also hard to get materials for and both aren't really "legal" to sell, so if a chemist is going to take the risk why not go the cheaper way. Even if some other drug like say meth was on the hit you would only get a very small ammount, not near enough meth to have any affect on you. The main thing is acid comes in such lower doses then it did back in the 60s 1 hit then is equal to 2 or 3 now at least. People take one hit and don't have that deep experience. It's sad but true it is made for profit now, back then it was made for the love, so you got more bang for your buck.
chemists are not the ones wasting time laying sheets, pressing microdots, diluting liquid, or forming gels. chemists deal crystal lsd in large quantities. its the people laying the sheets(etc.) that are the ones that are going to determine what chemical is going to end up in paper. although lsd crystal is cheep to buy in bulk, its not the easiest thing to come by to your average street dealer. the DOx research chemicals are also fairly cheep to buy in bulk, and they are easy to come by. though, ive only had two tabs that have been rc's when i was told they were lsd. 2 out of 38 ain't bad. there is way more lsd going around on blotter than rc sold as lsd on blotter. at least around my area. the only rc's sold on blotter around here are advertised as rc's, not advertised as lsd.
