Why 100 micrograms? 1
#23602925 - 09/01/16 09:50 PM (7 years, 4 months ago) |
|

So I dropped a tab of L from a trusted source. I am told it was acquired through bitcoin internationally. It had 100 micrograms
I had no clue what 100 micrograms was but all I can say is I am really surprised that 100 micrograms can really do that much to someone. I have had 100 microgram trips but from multiple tabs. Like 2-3. Sometimes even 4 tabs of L
So what I was thinking was that this trip was on par with about 3 grams of cubes as a comparison in terms of depth
Why is 100 the "dose"? Its pretty strong to lay that per one hit. I feel that a beginner would be better with the equivalent of half an eigth of cubes or about 75 micrograms I guess?
Who just decided one day that 100 micrograms was the "dose"? Because the "dose" for shrooms is less than that
EDIT: Also; do you think that 100 micrograms is enough? Too much? I am on the end of too much (my opinion)

Some people lay it higher than that. My friend is holding onto some Spongebob blotters dosed at 150mcg. A hit and a half had me flying.
I don't know who decided 100mcg would be the "dose", but I speculate that number is used because it's easy to work with. A gram of crystal gets you ten 10 sheets that way.
Some people say fuck it and lay them 200mcg

I agree with slug It's purely because it's easy to math out and it's not earth shatteringly strong but it's present.

It's not surprising at all. I've taken 50ug to trip before (1/4th a blotter) and tripped pretty nicely. The tabs i'm holding onto right now are really strong, about 200-210ug.

For some reason, 100 micrograms is the magic number for whatever reason. It just feels like a legit well rounded lsd trip at that dose. 90 micros is very similar.
Plus 50 micros, half of a 100 micro blotter, feels like that perfect dose for having a good time without tripping too hard/deep.

I guess it has more to do with a hard number/rounding than actual logic
But it is what it is I guess
I mean based on today's trip and assuming that this trip was indeed 100mics, then the 50 Mic dosages are pretty solid trips in and off themselves

I think 100mcg is bullshit and they should be made at 1,000mcg since that's an easier number.

damn 1000 is AGGRESSIVE. I've done a little more than half of that and 500-600 shit gets crazy!
Some people would rather stay here on earth. Hence base dose of a 100.

For the longest time during 2008-2012 you COULD get 100mcg hits but the average hit was about 50 mcg . The last trip I had, I took 3 gels and it seems the gels are always 100mcg or more. That was the first time in a very long time I had OEVs that strong. Usually with the 50mcg hits I don't get any OEVs because I didnt want to buy 6 hits. I feel like right now due mainly to the darknet I'm seeing some of the best LSD and Molly in the world. I don't even use the darknet but friends in the scene all do and the quality keeps going up. Or others are just getting better connects.

Probably because the doses are easier to calculate. If you start with a gram of crystal you just need to divide by 100 to get a book, 1000 to get a sheet, 100000 for a dose.

100 mics is a good dose. Fully psychedelic, much stronger than folks give it credit for....but shouldn't be too overwhelming either. LSD is a psychedelic. Taking it should be psychedelic. Pisses me off when folks lay it less than that. Lot of those assholes then have the audacity to talk about family & whatnot. But as others have said, breaking L down by the tenth is easier, and 100 mics is a solid dose. It's a good standard.

100 mics is great for a nice mild trip throughout the day/night or still be functional enough to go out to a bar or party with friends and feel comfortable enough to socialize and so on. Any more than 200 mics and I have to be in my own place or somewhere with a couple good friends who are also sharing the experience.

I'm sure it is but who has ever done a quantitative assay on their acid to find out how many micrograms is on it. I see all these folks in this thread talking about how much is there but unless they're the ones that dissolved the crystal then how the fuck do they know how much is there

I guess its also a matter of experience or taking the word of the person who tells you even tho most of the time thats bullshit anyways. Ive had blotters that have been laid by people I know and trust what they told me the dosages were that felt true to their word. I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference between 75 ug and 100ug as well as 100 and 150-200 ug. Mostly from the amount of LSD I've eaten over the years Ive been able to tell for the most part. That is unless I've been lied to for the past 15 years from everybody haha.

Plenty of doses have been lab tested. That's getting more & more common anymore. Also, some of us have laid or had friends laying the doses.

3 years ago the first blotter i got was spongebob. Shit fried my brain so fucking hard. Here's a convo i had with the dealer.
"Hey that stuff made my tongue kinda numb do you have any idea why?"(i knew why already, i was just testing him)
"Oh it's not that 25i-nbome crap, the chemicals that make it stick to the paper and the ink give it that weird taste, this is legit L though, i took 30 and my friend took 40 and we're all good, pretty crazy trip though"
"Ok cool" never associated with him again. He ended up moving across the country after developing a nasty crack addiction. He was not in any way a stereotypical crackhead either.
What i wanted to say to him though was
"That's a shame, maybe if you actually told me what it is and how much it's dosed at, i would be willing to experiment with it, but since it's a tab of "idk" I'm gonna tell yku to fuck off and good luck not selling to the one kid who actually foes take 20 and hunches over dead"
The only reason we took it was because nobody wants to sell acid to someone right out of high school around here.

It's gotten pretty common for folks to send doses out to labs to be tested nowadays. The reputable vendors encourage their customers to do so, to confirm that the doses are as advertised. And plenty of crews are pushing out doses that are laid as advertised. Also, crystal is far more available. It's not all dealer hype anymore. When I was younger I put in my time, and knew what the doses were being laid at. As such I've become good at ballparking it. And my ballpark estimations have been corroborated by lab tests. For example, I remember a print called yin yang dolphins a couple years back. Sold as 110 mics a piece. I was given one, and based on my experience guessed it was ~70-75 mics. A little while later it popped up on ecstasydata; https://www.ecstasydata.org/view.php?id=2913&mobile=1

The spongebobs I had did not make my tongue numb; there was no taste, not even that very slight "ink" taste. Very clean trip.
The one time I had blotter that numbed my tongue I spit it out and traded off the half sheet for a fistful of oxycontin. This was before the time all this great acid started coming around.

Well lets hope that these 100mic tabs keep coming. I think I never truly realized what 100mics means till I took 1 one single tab and tripped that hard. I really hoenstly did not see that coming. I saw a light trip on the level of half an eigth. Which really goes to show how poor the quality of acid has been all these years
Speaking of which I am going to take 1.5 or maybe two of those same tabs and see how deep the rabbit hole goes. I feel pretty satisfied that I now have an objective taste of 100mics to gauge future tabs

Do you know how much NBOMe blotters have on them? Much more than 200ug

Actually there are 200 mic hits & higher. Not super common, but they're out there. Highest lab result I've seen is 291 mics. I actually have had paper from that same vendor 404 is talking about, and they truly are 200 mics.

Ive done two 100micro hits recently, was not what i was expecting. My experience was somewhat chaotic, disorienting, hypontonic, so when u go deeper, be prepared to be knocked on your ass from the experience.

Thing is, I've found over the years, is dosage means next to fuck all. It's the quality of the acid that counts.
I've had trips on 125ug that were 10x better than trips on 500ug

If you have pure or nearly pure acid laying blotters at 100ug allows 10,000 hits per gram.
Keeps the numbers simple and for most people is a good starting dose though I can understand for some it is overwhelming.
I have no idea if thats why but the most circulated doses I see are around 100-110ug

Quality of the set, setting, and tolerance at the time matters far more than the purity of the crystal. You can have completely different psychedelic experiences on the same batch

Partially agree with you Sheeks, but the quality of the compound matters a fucking lot IMO, more than the former you mentioned. I'm no amatuer with the stuff and have had it in many, many sets, settings, and tolerance levels.
I'll agree to disagree though, cause I don't wanna get into subjective shit.

There is no subjective difference between the quality. Only difference with purity is potency. Everything else is due to other factors, as the psychedelic is highly variable. This has been shown time & time again. There is literature from the old studies that show this. And I've seen it in action. I guarantee that you would not be able to tell the difference between 100 mics of 99.9% pure d-LSD crystal & 200 mics of 50% pure d-LSD crystal. Furthermore, if I gave you the 200 mics of 50% pure L & said it was needlepoint or fluff, then gave you the 100 mics of 99.9% pure L & said it was lavender or amber crystal laid higher to make up for the impurities, you'd be saying that both got you off but the "fluff/needlepoint" was a lot cleaner/smoother.....even though that was the more impure stuff. That's the effect just these names have on the experience. Preconceptions & all that. I saw that situation play out thousands of times when I was involved in this line of work. We'd put out a bunch of books with the same crystal, and down the line people would give it different names to sell it. And people would swear that not only was it different, but you could feel the difference & people could tell which was which. But it was all the same exact stuff & same exact dose. The impurities in LSD are inactive, and are minuscule amounts. The difference is all in your head.

You sound like you know of which you speak D_S. Are you saying that all clandestine labs are producing the same quality of product? I.e - impurities would have no bearing on experience when ingested?
I'd like to learn. To me, I feel there has been a massive variation in terms of quality of product.

It's not that all the labs are making the same quality. Because purity of black market LSD does vary. Though there is ton of very high purity LSD out now. Stuff that has been sent to labs & tested >97% pure d-LSD. A year or two ago I saw lab tests for stuff that was 50-60% pure though. What it is, is that impurities that are found in LSD are inactive. They don't bind to & change the receptors. LSD has side effects, and these side effects vary from trip to trip....even within the same subject & at the same dose. There are myriad factors that play into each trip; set & setting, tolerance, what the people said about the doses, how much & the quality of sleep you've had recently, diet, hydration, stresses, joys, overall health, what bugs your body is fending off, and so many other minute details. They all effect the overall experience. There's a great book called; LSD; Spirituality & the Creative Process that breaks this all down very well. It details a study done in the 50s & 60s....the longest running study on LSD. In this study hundreds of participants were each given 2 micrograms of LSD per kilogram of body weight, and given this dose multiple times. The book lists the entire range of effects, side effects, comments from participants.....and return interviews decades later. Most still found the experience to be profound & inspiring even 40 years later. 
But the book clearly shows the same distribution of the same side effects as you see today. And this study was done with Sandoz LSD. The experiences were different from trip to trip within the same subjects....and they were taking the same dose as well as the same LSD. Each trial was always 2 mics per kilogram of bodyweight. Psychedelics are just so variable; that's the nature of the experience. And it's powerful mind-altering experience; one with profound alteration & intensification of sensory experiences. That's why the experiences vary, and why the myriad factors I mentioned earlier can change the perception of the experience so much. And with black market LSD the dose varies. This has improved recently, and with the lab tests it's more common/easier to actually know the dose. Whereas before it was just word of mouth, and dealers almost always overhype. I've seen doses as low as 20 mics....and 10-15 years ago that was fairly common. Same with 40-50 mic doses. But no one was selling them as that. They were always overhyped. Often as 100 mics. So the doses people were taking varied widely, and was almost always way less then they thought they were taking. That really skewed the perception of LSD & what it really is.

Fwiw, my buddy works as an analytical chemist at a nearby lab. I've sent him samples before to run through the mass specs and even the NMR at one point. Two different samples, one WoW unperf, one blotter art that had a taste. Both came out to be 50ug +-10ug. The one on the blotter art had a taste, but the spec reports showed that it was some kind of industrial dye while also simultaneously positive for LSD. i no longer have the chemical formula for the substance that was found in conjunction with lsd, but if i really tried i probably have the spec reports somewhere. Anyway, that hit compared to a quarter hit of the tab i ate, maybe stronger... So given that info, along with the difficulty that he said he had finding the actual weight, and how similar they were in intensity, i'd really have to say the tabs that i have really are 200~. Back in 14' i also ate a dalai lama blotter, which were coming back with reports of 200+ ug, so they are definitely out there for sure.

so the samples u sent were only a quarter of a blotter hit?
Damn, thats some good lsd!
I agree with dark star, quality of the hit means potency not purity. Purity just means how much is lsd and how much is inactive junk, in a ratio, like 90% acid and 10% junk.

just a little note; a lot of people claim that "quality" of acid matters. And they swear that they have diff experiences on diff tabs. I dropped acid during the day time the other day and had a strong trip. I got little to no visuals. Same tabs a month before hand at night produced huge visual changes and a very diff exp. Also the nightime trip was just ndoors at my buddies house. So ya, I think the diff in tabs "quality" of acid could be explained by set and setting

No, the 1/4th tab compared to a hit of what i had tested that was roughly 50ug. Weights are really hard to accurately get from paper though but it can be done.
