LSD Price: Blotters, Sheets, Tabs, Pyramids And Vials

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), also known as acid, blotter, stamps, dots, trips, paper, A-bombs, pyramids, is making a comeback and is widely available. It is a staple at rave parties (probably below MDMA in usage and even with or slightly ahead of GHB). In fact, it is one of the cheapest things on rave venue, running around $5 a dose (compared to GHB at $5 to $15 per dose, ketamine at $10 to $15 and MDMA at $20, plus the rave tickets at $25 to $50 each).

Blotter paper is still considered its most common form, but liquid LSD is typically encountered on the party circuit. It can be found occasionally in capsules, generally mixed with other adulterants or other drugs. If an MDMA dealer cannot get enough of his product to meet demand, LSD may be found mixed with methamphetamine, and the mixture is then substituted for MDMA. Officers should handle all small bottles (Visine or other eye medicine bottles, Crystal Ice or Binanca Blast or other breath mint bottles or small liquid candy bottles) carefully as they may contain either GHB or LSD. A Schedule I drug first discovered in 1938, LSD's hallucinogenic effects were first documented in 1945 by a Swiss chemist. Because all LSD is illegally made, there are no standards for packaging or form of the final product. LSD by itself is very potent, tasteless, colorless and odorless. Light sensitive, it is often wrapped in tinfoil and stored in a cooler or refrigerator. Water soluble, it is undetectable except by chemical analysis. Today's individual "doses" (10 to 80 micrograms) are generally less than levels reported in the 1960s and early 1970s (100 to 200 micrograms). Multiple doses are also often taken, thus stepping up the dosage.

Any paper (perforated, designed paper, stamps or writing or notebook pages) or other material may be soaked with a solution of LSD. It may be dropped onto sticks of chewing gum that are then rewrapped. It may be placed on sugar cubes. It may be dripped or sprayed into the eye or mixed with beverages; this method is sometimes employed at concerts. Another current method of use involves something called "gel tabs" or "pyramids;" a gel of LSD is dried in the "wells" or indentations on small pieces of plastic (cut from the diffuser material covering fluorescent light fixtures, for example). The pyramids (often seen in bright red, green, blue or purple) are then sucked on.

During the spring of 1999, rave concerts were scheduled at the Orange Show Fairgrounds in San Bernardino. The first weekend of the events, police officers shot and killed a U.S. Marine who was high on LSD. A few weeks later, mid-April, while assisting the San Bernardino Police Department by providing brief training to 20 officers assigned to work the rave party, we encountered another U.S. Marine high on LSD (one of about 30 arrestees). That contact (and other info that they had received re numerous Marines attending raves and similar drug-invested venues) resulted in Camp Pendleton scheduling training for their military police and other LSD, N2O & Other Drugs. Most military bases are experiencing a problem with drugs, including MDMA, GHB, LSD, ketamine, etc.

LSD results in somewhat unpredictable activity because of issues of dosage and purity and even personality input. Physical effects include extremely dilated pupils, higher body temperatures, increased heart rate, speech difficulty, lack of coordination, sleeplessness, tremors, increased blood pressure, sweating, piloerection (goose bumps), muscle rigidity, loss of appetite and dry mouth. Sensations and emotions may be more dramatically affected than the above physical signs. Their eyes are sensitive to light. Delusions and visual hallucinations are possible. LSD may cause "crossing over" of senses, resulting in hearing colors or feeling sounds. Users may experience flashbacks. "Bad trips" are not uncommon. The person on a bad trip may be conscious, coherent and oriented, but anxious and fearful and may display paranoid or bizarre reasoning. The bad tripper may be tearful, combative or self-destructive. Full effect takes up to 45 minutes. A trip may last 6-12 hours. The effects may wane after two to four hours, followed by late effects of fatigue, headache or a contemplative state. Tolerance develops rapidly (but a week's abstinence will likely restore sensitivity) and psychological dependence may develop after prolonged usage.

The young Marine in San Bernardino was an excellent representation of LSD use. He exhibited many of the above indicators. He was constantly asking for water. At one point he lunged forward from his chair and flopped on the ground with muscle rigidity. He was left there during that period for his safety. He could talk coherently at times and was very emotional, but was non-responsive other times. Later, as he was coming out of the effects of LSD, he was able to describe to us who was standing over him when he was on the ground and what we were saying, though he had been unable to respond to us.

Sometimes officers inquire about a "new drug" called LSA instead of LSD. This refers to lysergic acid amide, somewhat weaker than LSD. This can be obtained by chewing morning glory seeds. This is a dangerous practice as seeds for planting may be adulterated with unpleasant or even toxic chemicals.

Note: Alize is a passion fruit and cognac drink that is pronounced similar to LSA. It may also be encountered in the club or rave scene as an additive to the drugs, etc.

Two major arrests made in late 2000 and early 2001 are expected to make a huge difference in the availability, purity and price of LSD for some time. A major blotter paper dealer busted in the San Francisco area in 2000 is believed to have been the source of approximately one half of all blotter paper for the past 20 years! A chemist was busted in Kansas (operating out of an old missile silo converted to a lab) in early 2001 had enough LSD and chemicals to supply the country for two and a half years.

Additionally, factors such as metabolism, dosage, and individual body chemistry can influence the onset time. It is important to start with a low dose and be patient when using gel tabs or any other psychoactive substances.

                            How many hits of acid are in a sheet?
                            1 year ago
                          • There is no standard answer to this question as the amount of acid found on a sheet can vary greatly depending on the source of the acid and how it was prepared. Generally, a "sheet" of acid refers to a piece of paper that is saturated with liquid LSD, but it can also refer to a square of gelatin containing the drug. The potency of a piece of paper or a gelatin square can vary from 100-250 micrograms, so it is impossible to say with any certainty how much acid is in a sheet.

                              How to microdose gel tabs?
                              1 year ago
                            • Gel tabs are typically ingested orally. To microdose with gel tabs, start by cutting the tab into four pieces and subsequently taking one piece at a time. Taking one piece at a time allows you to better track your results and adjust the dosage as needed. The gel tab should be taken on an empty stomach and with plenty of water to avoid any stomach upset. Depending on the effect desired, you may want to increase or decrease the dose. It is important to note that microdosing can take a few days to produce noticeable results, so patience is key.

                                  1 year ago
                                • Acid tabs are usually made by mixing a chemical called lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) or other similar chemicals with a binding agent. The binding agent could be food items like sugar cubes, gelatin, or maybe even blotter paper. The binding agent is used to hold the LSD so that it can be handled and consumed more easily. These mixtures are then pressed into tablets and dried. Depending on the person making them, the ingredients, and the process, the tabs can vary in size, shape, color, and potency.

                                          1 year ago
                                        • Acid gel tabs are not something you should attempt to make at home, as the process typically requires specialized equipment and hazardous chemicals that should only be handled by people with professional training. However, if you must make them, you will need to blend citric acid, glutaraldehyde, anionic detergent, and a suspending agent with water in a container and heat the mixture until it is at the desired pH level. You can then pour the mixture into molds of your desired shape, allow them to cool and harden, and then remove them from the molds.

Make sure the container is tightly sealed and not exposed to any air, moisture, or extreme temperatures. Check for expiration dates before using and keep all medications out of reach of children and pets.
