DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

the solid crystalline substance to produce the consumable form, their
information is just hearsay or a personal estimate. Even after many years
and several hundred doses of LSD, I have never had an accurate gauge to
measure dosage. My description of dosage levels is an estimate from what
I've been told over the years, matched up to levels of intensity described by
users of Sandoz LSD which was packaged in certified amounts.
100 mcg. of LSD is considered a minimum psychedelic dose. (one
microgram (mcg.) = one millionth of a gram.) This amount should produce
a low-level psychedelic experience, not overwhelming, and without
hallucinations. 200 mcg. is the minimum dose required to produce a full
psychedelic experience, complete with visuals and hallucinations, although
it will take most people more than 200 mcg. to experience these full effects.
The average dose of acid on the streets these days is in the 50 to 100 mcg.
range.
The amount of LSD required to break into a full-on psychedelic state varies
with each individual, and even each experience. As one gains familiarity
with the experience it is likely that they will require a larger dose to achieve
a "transformational state." I typically take about 500 mcg. and estimate my
larger doses to be in the 1000+ mcg. range, and I've heard of people taking
much more than that. Other factors such as the amount of food in one's
stomach will affect the intensity of LSD and most other psychedelics,
dosing on an empty stomach producing the stronger experience. Like most
other psychedelics, LSD produces a tolerance lasting two or three days.
Consuming an equivalent amount during this period will not get one as high
the second time.
Larger doses make it more likely that one will have a full blown trip, but
sometimes the intensity can be too much and feel like neural overload. (By
the end of many high-dose acid trips I've wished I could turn down the
intensity level of my senses.) The next section explains more about the
range of LSD experiences.
THE HIGH:
Ecstatic feelings of love and happiness, affinity for other people, feeling of
being at home with one's self and the universe, flowing visions with more
intricacy, beauty, and color than anything found in nature, sound which one
can taste and feel with heart and soul, a sense of suspension in time and
feeling akin with eternity and infinity, a brilliantly lucid mind able to see
itself from vast and novel perspectives, an overwhelming tide of emotions...
These are the feelings that are common with LSD and most other
psychedelics. One should also be prepared for the negative side: confusion,
