This was written on the shroomery many years ago and spread all over the internet via reddit apparently. I am the one who wrote it so I figured I might make some edits, because today I am more concerned about my influence on the matter, and am far less spun/drunk than I was the night I wrote it so many years ago. The original contained lines to specify things and people have edited it a lot over time. So it goes---------------------------------------------------------
(edited to retain the general ideas I had while writing it but I'm editing other people's goofy edits of my writing for one thing. So I'm Changing very little to keep the same ideas intact, which keeps things accurate enough, though today, 500 mics is a hell of a lot stronger than it used to be, for me. The way people edited it has me laughing in it's various iterations, because the grammar was bad enough to begin with. I was probably 24 years old and spun out of my mind on lsd. No offense taken really, I just feel like editing it)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 mics- threshold. Some slight euphoria and body high. Enhanced vision and pattern recognition.
30 mics- threshold, same as 20 mics but with more pattern recognition. Things should be pretty trippy but close to normal for most people.
40 mics- Obviously feeling Lucy's effects a little bit, but as with 30 ugs, no major visuals yet. Though some people may see some very clear and colorful visual activity especially in the dark. Some people can get off plenty from 50 ugs for example.
60 mics- The typical low quality blotter. Body high with an "under water like feeling". Lights are brighter, colors are slightly enhanced and some after imaging and trails. This dosage makes for a good time, even though it isn't considered tripping by those who take lots of psychedelics. Lasts longer and is similar to a gram of shrooms but is far longer lasting.
90 mics- Bright colors, surfaces start to move, warp or breathe quite a bit. Confused, superimposed, reminiscent thoughts congeal into all sorts of interesting ideas and thought patterns. You start to think more via enhancement of pattern recognition. Change of short term memory leads to continual distracted thought patterns. Your brain seems to speed up and you become more aware of everything.
110 mics- A hit of some really good lsd. Visuals are getting a lot more obvious now. "Ripples" superimposed and interacting with your field of vision. A primal soup of patterning. Patterns from all different cultures throughout history seen on walls, surfaces, faces etc. Closed eye hallucinations become more apparent. Closed eye visuals will be abundantly clear for most people who sit alone in the dark.
150 mics- This is the main dosage people try to shoot for if they are not that experienced- to experience LSD's full effects without freaking out, or to avoid becoming generally uncomfortable at any point during what amounts to a real-deal lsd trip. This dose is usually 1-2 hits of good, legit LSD. These effects are a lot like 110 micrograms but more profound.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (incraments I mention will stay the same but the effects of upping it 50 mics becomes more intense than above the line.)
200 mics- This is where things can get powerful. Your mind is racing. Beautiful colors are everywhere. Closed eye visuals are very apparent at this point. Life changing, spiritual experiences or realizations can happen at this dose. If you are new to lsd this dose is simply too high for you. Many people can handle it quite well but some may freak out or get scared. You might even find that a friend is asking you "what is going on?", or "why is it so magic?", and you might find yourself aware that they are far-more effected by this kind of dose of 200 ugs. They literally need you to answer them when they ask you "what is going on"? People can get very confused. It is not a huge dose but it is really a pretty huge trip for someone who is not used to it. Kind of like how 3 grams of mushrooms can destroy someone new to psychedelics.
250 mics- This dose is the dose Albert Hoffman, the creator of LSD tried when he first dosed himself to see what LSD's effects were like. The peak of a 250 mic acid trip can be VERY intense or even scary but like any LSD trip. once the peak effects ware off, the more comfortable the trip is. When the comedown started, he was fine, and he became a rockstar(phish drum tek reference). Closed eye visuals are amazing at this dose. It's a lot of acid actually.
300 mics- your getting into heavy territory. Still not considered by most to be a super heavy dose, but thats only because they know where most people including themselves draw the line if they are experienced. Its alot like 250 mics. It's kind of "REALLY intense".
400 mics- most people would never take this much unless they knew the acid they have in their possession and they really wanted to get pretty far out there. This is why you don't see 200+ mic hits around. There is some major confusing of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colors etc.) Time distortions and moments of eternity. Body movements become more difficult, drunk even, yet somehow pointed and disorienting at the same time. There is a heightened sense of awareness of one's own feelings and drive. People usually report this dose as thought provoking and life changing. For some, their ability to discern is somewhat thrown off. More likely to respond to suggestive stimuli. It is often recommended that there be a sitter to watch over the tripper just in case he/she would do something that could be a potential hazard. Nobody jumping out of windows ever obviously, but crying in a corner is not entirely uncommon. I mean, seriously. It's a lot of acid.
500 mics- Very strong visual hallucinations. Objects morphing into other objects (both closed and open eye visuals that are significant and intense). Destruction of/or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously) Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Pretty much where even some of the most experienced people draw the line. Your vision is almost completely enveloped by fractal patterns, and if you were to stare at some pavement or something, it looks like you can see to the end of eternity. Miles and miles of visual depth. There are many subtypes of these: Mandelbrots, spirals, wave interference patterns,etc.
700 mics- Out of body experiences and extra-sensory perception type phenomena. Blending of the senses. Visuals containing imagery from Hindu, Aztec, Mayan, Native American, Indian and African cultures are quite common. Most people who talk of taking a ten strip usually don't have very potent acid(though it is good), so 550 to 700 is where they end up. This is also where "more acid" becomes less important because the effects are very similar to an even higher dose. At some point tripping this hard is very much dependent on the users health and state of mind. It can be a very bad idea in so many ways. I never meant to encourage people to take this much when they don't know what the hell they are doing. My main edit in this thread-post years later, is to accentuate the severity of taking this much acid, instead of making it look like a fun and wild time. Beyond this dose is really not fun for many people. It is something that is frightening for all, and not of this world. I just hope people do it right and don't lose it because someone made it sound like a colorful and fun time. It destroys your ego. That is what I would say so many years later. It is a lot like dying or knowing you are going to die. It imitates those same end-of-life processes for a great many people. It is hard to tell exactly what you are experiencing when for one thing, time stops working the way it has your whole life, etc.
1000 mics- Most people will never go this high. Only shamans(or for those concerned with the term, enlightened weirdos) and those who really seek oblivion will dose this high. If you had a "two hits and you are floored" type of lsd, or 100 mics and up hits, this is where a ten strip would put you. You basically cant see anything but visuals, your mind as a whole is infinitely connected with its self and your external environment. Amazing things happen on this dose no matter what. It would scare most people shitless because they were not ready for that dose. Some people will think they are dying. Many would end up dialing 911 if they were alone and could read the numbers on the phone.
1500 mics- Very few people have used this much lsd. It is VERY psychologically dangerous for some people to do this dose. You can no longer really see your own hand in front of your face. Your cognition and vision, and breathing are bathed in the same unfathomable light. Some people forget to breath frequently(a brain-stem-orientated phenomena in my personal experience and others), and id imagine alot of people would pass out. Nothing deadly but it might even look the part. You will loose your ego, but you will meet many organizers of human cognition in this egoless place. They are much smarter than human beings. "they" *are self conscious neurology. They are the mathematicians behind consciousness and even the visuals themselves. Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measurable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satorienlightenment (and other such labels).
A dose 700 mics and above will show anyone some very profound things. Doses like 500 mics and above have changed many lives in both positive and negative ways. ----------------------------So that's all I wanted to say. Just a simple edit by the author. An Author who was careless and drunk when he wrote it after a very insane trip..
This post was a shroomery original from probably 7 years ago. I wrote it with all my spun heart. If anyone wants to repost this shroomery original they should tell people where it came from, and that this years-old version has been often poorly edited by people who had no part in writing it. So I have now edited it myself. I edited it with much attention to changing almost nothing because it seems accurate enough. I never thought it was a great post because it doesn't explain much in any sort of depth. It was apparently something people thought was worth posting a thousand times. So it might warrant an edit or needed some explanation. I was never heavy enough on the disclaimer aspect to it. So the bad grammar has been slightly altered, and it's now more detailed. I do not want credit, though it's interesting how far reaching the post was.
I wanted to keep the post mostly the same though. It's cool people liked the general approach I took. For starters, the spelling was all fucked up, so I had to edit it.
