LSD Blotter Papers

What is LSD?  

LSD Blotter Papers is a strong hallucinogenic chemical that comes in a colourless and odourless liquid. This liquid (acid drug) is usually dripped and dried onto blotter papers and sold as LSD ‘acid tabs’. Sometimes it’s even dripped onto food like sugar cubes and swallowed. In case you were wondering, ‘What does LSD stand for?” It’s short for lysergic acid diethylamide .

How to take acid

People usually take LSD in ‘tab’ form LSD tabs – small squares of paper that have been soaked in LSD that are placed under the tongue. Some people even drop it onto sugar cubes and then eat them. It can also be made into squares of jelly, known as ‘window panes’. Whatever way you take it, you’re gonna have a pretty interesting (although probably not memorable) night.

Positive LSD effects

When the trip goes good, here’s what happens:

• Everything you see changes – colours shift and morph into one another, objects leave trails as they pass, and patterns are everywhere.
• You feel happier and more relaxed.
• Lots of people hallucinate, or ‘trip’ i.e. see and hear things that aren’t there. This can actually be pretty fun.
• Your appreciation of music goes through the roof.
• All your sensations are heightened and feel extra special, whether it’s a cool breeze on your skin, or the touch of your hand on your arm.
• Some people say that they have massive spiritual experiences and therapy-like reflections on their lives.

Negative LSD effects

Acid drug effects can vary depending on the user, but here are some negative effects that might be coming your way:

• It can cause a gut-wrenchingly horrible trip. Since acid is a hallucinogen, it can make you feel scared and confused. You may even have terrifying hallucinations you can’t control – some people felt like they were dying over and over, others believed they were drowned in a bath full of spiders.
• Once you’re tripping, there’s no going back. You have to ride out a bad trip, which usually takes about 8 to 12 hours.
• It’s easy to accidentally hurt yourself. Some people get the urge to take a casual stroll along a motorway, others may think their head is full of bees and want to bash it against a wall.
• LSD is like a psychic, picking up on any underlying mood or emotion you have going on. If you’re going through a tough time mental-health wise, it’ll amplify this.
• It can make your body temperature soar, turning you into a hot and sweaty mess.
• Some people who take LSD suffer from ‘flashbacks’ for days, weeks, months and even years afterwards.

How long does LSD last?

Let’s start with the obvious ‘How long does lsd take to kick in?’ It usually takes between 30 to 90 minutes to start feeling the effects of LSD. Basically, just don’t go guzzling more acid tabs after 5 minutes, be patient and wait a while for the trip to kick in.

Now onto the inevitable ‘How long does an acid trip last?’ LSD trips can last between 6 and 12 hours. Keep in mind, it takes some people another 2 to 6 hours to ‘feel normal again’ and be able to sleep. Might wanna keep the day after free, that’s all we’re saying.

Is LSD dangerous? 

It depends on what you mean by dangerous. But whatever your definition, you definitely need a sober friend to look after you. Just in case you’re hallucinating and attempt to climb out a third-storey window (it genuinely happens).

If you have a history, particularly any history of schizophrenia, psychosis or depression, it’s best to stay away from the drug. It can trigger psychotic episodes and make your mental health condition way, way worse.

Can you take LSD on antidepressants? 

No, it’s really, really risky. If you take lithium or tricyclic antidepressants, the combination with LSD can cause seizures. Combining acid with other antidepressants can also hugely increase the effects of the trip, and not in a good way. You may even be unable to communicate, or get dangerously violent.

Harm reduction for taking acid tabs

• If it’s your first time, take a very small dose as you won’t know how it will affect you. Learn what your tolerance is over time.
• Always get a sober friend that you trust to stay with you throughout the trip, just in case something goes wrong.
• LSD sponges off your underlying mood, so only take it if you’re in a good place mentally. Being in environments where you feel safe and relaxed will increase the odds of having a good trip.
• If you do have a bad trip, get your friend to take you somewhere quiet and safe to ride it out.

What happens if I get caught with LSD? 

We can’t lie, it’s not looking good. It’s a Class A drug, so the maximum sentence is seven years for possession and/or a fine, and a life sentence and/or an unlimited fine for supplying.
