^ haha, nice. Good thing your friends were there!

And I'd just had some acid...not even a lot. Two hits. And I had some of the wildest open eye visuals I've ever had on less than 12 hits. At one point, my conviction that my future self was in my shower was really overwhelming. I went in there with a toilet plunger, to prepare for the standoff.

Ok, what the fuck is a hit of acid??

It's more likely that the acid wasn't as potent as Albert Hoffman would have intended. Truth is, you never really know how much you're actually taking if you're not the guy synthesizing and dosing it. It's a variable fed to a guinea pig every time a person gets a hit off the streets.

P.S... I'm not completely sure, but from what I know, acid (in any practical dosage) isn't known to be lethal in and of itself.

ThePhanastasio · 05-07-2011, 09:17 PM

No, acid isn't lethal in recreational doses, perhaps not even in high doses. From my reading, I've been able to find only one death which may have been the drug itself, and it was someone who shot up liquid, and may have been on numerous other substances as well.

I've known many, many people to take strips before concerts (10 hits) and quite a few people who take in excess of that.

Also, (possibly?) interesting anecdote: A good friend of mine is really deeply involved with the Grateful Dead "family", and on numerous occasions has been to a residence in the northeastern US where they synthesize LSD and prepare it as blotter and liquid for distribution. One of the...maybe hazing is the word?...rituals or whatever that they have people do prior to joining this branch of the family is a "thumbprint". Basically, that entails licking your thumb and dipping it into pure, crystal LSD then putting it back in your mouth. At this point, as LSD is active in such small doses (micrograms), they have taken so much acid that it really is no longer even measured in hits. It would be in the thousands, though.

And strangely, he's witnessed this ritual twice, and it apparently led to no lasting damage for the participants. He didn't do it himself, though - didn't want to risk it. I wouldn't either.

Yes, I was referring more to the fact that such a person is now able to converse with us on the internet...and knows what the internet is....

But yeah, dosage. It's a bummer. Never know what you're gonna get. I remember times when I used to get wasted on a third of a tab, now I barely register 3/4...I was a little worried about taking a whole tab (not wanting to battle dragons and all that) but with this particular batch I might as well go for it...:\
