so LSD sticks to itself? it would have to if what you are saying is correct. LSD is a salt. it does not bind onto paper once the paper is holding the most L it possibly can.

thats why people put drops on sugar cubes. becasue the sugar absorbs the L. you dont see people putting drops on paper and letting it dry saying... "here dude.. i dosed this notter with six hits"
IT WOULDNT GET ABSORBED BY THE PAPER BECAUSE THE PAPER HAS REACHED MAXIMUM SATURATION.

ok im really done discussing this now.

the reason you can dip a sheet, and get even dosing is because the blotter paper reaches a maximum saturation, whereafter it will not do any good to try to add more. saying that double dipping a sheet increases potency is like saying that holding the in solution for 10 seconds longer increases potency...it absorbs what it absorbs, thats that. you want double dipped, do it with sugar cubes.

Ok.  Yes you are correct in saying that you couldnt hold the sheet in longer.  Good.  Because, like you said, the paper is all ready soaked("maximum saturation!") 

Now.  What happens when the ethanol is evaporated and the paper is no longer soaking wet("not saturated to the maximum!")?  HeY you can get it wet in some LSD solution and add more LSD!

Everybody, the moral of this whole story is...  People never double dip because it is pointless extra work.  They just make the solution stronger to begin with.  It was a sales ploy that is aparently beginning to be used again.

. That is why I was curious about how long it takes it to disolve as that would determin how much was lost from the first dip upon a second.

Obviouly that wouldn't be a problem if the alcohol was saturated with as much LSD as could be disolved in it but that would make some powerfull hits. Any idea how much LSD can be disolved in everclear (or whatever)? and how much would be in a single hit at that concentration?

Most dipping solution is around 1 gram per 110ml. This provides 100mcg. doses. You can make it alot more potent. Nowdays nobody lays real potent hits. The days of 300-500mcg. hits are long gone. there are several reasons for this. One is money obviously. Secondly is that 100mcg. is agreed upon as good dose for the genral public. Imagine some high school kid that doesn't know much about LSD eating a couple hits of 400mcg. doses as he's out one night. He would have alot more chance to freak out than off of 100mcg. The problem nowdays is that although we agreed in the 80's to make the standard dosage range around a 100mcg(mabye a little stronger) is that back then the retail price was $2 a hit or 3 hits for 5 bucks . So even though hits were 100mcg. You could have a potent 300mcg. trip for 5 bucks. Nowdays people are paying 10 bucks for 100mcg. or less. Also if you were going to make large doses, say 500 mcg. It would be best to switch to a different carrier than blotter because that is pushing the max amount of LSD blotter can hold efficently.

As for how much LSD can be dissolved in alcohol I don't know. I guess quite abit. I remember  years ago making a vile to take to some Jerry band shows in San Francisco to dose family with a new batch of silver that had just came out. I didn't measure it but just dumped in a bunch of crystal into a vile. It was so thick you could see the crystal in it and it was thick. I called it sliver slushy. You could drop a few drops on your hand and let it dry and see the crystal.

This, in my opinion, would be the way to reach the ultimate saturation point of the blotter if one was ever so inclined. Being as there would really never be any practical need for this it is entirely a trivial matter.

You could also just mix your solution to contain 500mcg. per dose(5 grams per 110ml). When you get up to acid of this strength it is best to switch to a different carrier such as liquid or gels/windowpane. When blotter gets completly saterated with LSD it becomes inefficient as a carrier. It coates the outside(because the pores on the inside are full) were it very easily flakes off anytime its touched or wrapped.  I had some mop up paper once that I had used to clean the pan out after laying 30 grams of silver. The paper was filled to the max with LSD. All the porous area and surface were caked with it. I put it into a baggie and alot of the LSD came off the paper because there was so much caked on it. You could see crystal all over the baggie it was in. Blotter is best for smaller doses. For larger doses liquid or gels are best. By making windowpanes or gels you can have a wopping dose in there and its mostly protected by being sealed in the hard substance. Liquids always nice too.

For the most part though your not going to be running into blotter that is real strong.(ie. 500mcg.) anymore. If somebody put out paper with 500mcg. on , then somebody down the line would just make the hits alot smaller to make more money. I can see somebody trying to cut out five hits from a single 1/4 inch dose.
