This site helped me tremendously in my youth, with staying safe and giving me actual knowledge about different chemicals, rather than the complete abstinence information from programs like DARE. At one point, I found that a psychoactive chemical I was taking had a serious side effect with a prescription I was taking, and that information was nowhere to be found through web searches. Without Erowid, I definitely would…

Interesting. Can you clarify this part? > there's no reason to have LSD and an adulterant Why is that? From what I understand LSD is pretty challenging to produce, so isn't there an advantage to an unscrupulous producer using something easier/cheaper?
From my old and hazy memory (someone correct if wrong): There are few psychoactive compounds that work in the same microgram range as LSD. So if you're getting blotter then the size of the tab is important. The other compounds such as the NBOMe series use bigger blotters that are easy to spot.
> Silk Road prices for pure 25I-, 25C-, and 25B-NBOMe powder currently range from $90 to $200 per gram. The most problematic listings are vendors selling blotter that begs to be resold as acid: 1/4-inch perforated squares in 100-hit sheets bearing designs such as Albert Hofmann's bike ride and The Beatles Yellow Submarine, among other acid-blotter designs from the past. One vendor states "each tab is acid size, no big blotters here". Another offers hits supposedly containing 1 mg of 25I- and 25B-NBOMe each! Dosages range from 500 micrograms to 2 mg per 1/4-inch hit, with advertised doses averaging around 1 mg. On Silk Road, LSD blotter is 5-10 times more expensive than NBOMe blotter.
I think unfortunately toxic and potentially fatal doses can fit on a 1/4 inch hit or in a single liquid drop. There needs to be a lot more active chemical though, whereas you get a slight metallic taste with LSD, the article says NBOME is extremely bitter due to the higher concentration, which is sometimes covered up with mint or other flavor (never heard of this with LSD).
There's an interesting 2019 article "Multimodal imaging of hallucinogens 25C- and 25I-NBOMe on blotter papers" [2] that analyzed a random seized NBOME sample from Germany. It has lower concentration per cm² than what Erowid cited, but I don't think it's a technical limit unfortunately that prevents scary doses from fitting on a standard blotter.

ahahaaha you people just found out about this?!>?!
I'm curious how people go about finding safe sources for something like LSD (to be clear I'm not asking for anyone to give specific details, just an explanation). While psilocybin is easy to try safely (just travel to a place where it is legal), LSD is illegal in every jurisdiction as far as I know. The thought of ingesting some substance from dubious sources, that could be contaminated with absolutely anything, terr…
in america there are pockets of psychadelic support that would provide clean sources, you'd maybe network with them through campus norml groups, or that cool chemistry TA. these people have zero incentive to sell you something different or contaminate it with anything (more work).
when it is dosed correctly, you can take a small dose of lsd and see if it is the effect you recognize or something else. definitely just do some homework to make sure that it can be trusted.

I'm sure there's already a significant overlap.
Erowid facilitated my deep dive into psychedelics in 2010 or so. Such a treasure trove on information about harm reduction, dosage, etc. My old bad trip was meticulously documented and is published on the site (don’t mix cannabis with psychedelics, yo! You don’t wanna get paranoid as the walls are melting) Funny aside: I think I spent 13 BTC to buy some LSD on the dark web at the time. Years later, the change from th…

Reading Erowid trip reports persuaded me to try high dose tripping on Robitussin (DXM). From Wikipedia: The first plateau (1.5 to 2.5 mg per kg body weight) is described as having euphoria, auditory changes, mild stimulation, and change in perception of gravity. The second plateau (2.5 to 7.5 mg/kg) causes intense euphoria, vivid imagination, and closed-eye hallucinations. I like recovered.org's description of fourth…
I would also recommend checking that the cough syrup you pick does not contain large doses of sugar alcohols like sorbitol, which in high doses, function as a very effective laxative. Nothing like spending 4 hours on a toilet emptying your bowels while tripping balls.

How does your friend receive the mailed packages?
My friend was extra careful and sent it to a PO box kind thing, with a fake name and throwaway email just in case. But he thinks that is overly paranoid: if the letter was intercepted (highly unlikely), there would be no legal consequences because there is no link between him and the purchase (therefore strictly speaking all that happened was that someone mailed him illegal drugs without his knowledge ;)).
Yes packages get intercepted. But it isn’t the legal liability of an addressee for what is in some box that SOMEONE put in the mail. Otherwise it would be an amazing blackmail (nigh literally) tool to target any enemy.

I hope your dealer held on to your million pounds.
