Drug info - weak blotters?

[Zany]

was just curious because i heard that the blotters in circulation these days, like most of the drugs, aren't as strong as they were "back in the day"... personally ive never tried lsd, only mushrooms and lsa, but i was wondering if you have ever had any weak blotters that one hit wasnt enough to produce a satisfactory experience... im well aware that there are blotters out there with no drug content but im more interested in finding out just how "weak" in terms of ug the blotters can be these days

[Pinkavvy]

UTFSE (which mean use the forum/fricken search engine) this had been discussed .. alot .. recently.

I have never come across blotters that didn't get the desired effects in one dose. I guess some people like to trip real hard until they shit themselves but I'm not really into that so taking more than one isn't necessary really.

I've never tried a single blotter that satisfied me. The stuff is alot weaker then "back in the days", usually between 50-100 micrograms per blotter, and in hippy times that was more like 200-400 as I heard. I usually never ingest less then 3-4. Cuz taking just one isn't really tripping in my book. And with liquid is the completly different story...

ah it all gets taken the wrong way

SWIM gets very good blotters. The few that creep into this country are probably smuggled over from Amsterdam.

Seems SWIU longs for a ban as well.

SWIM has only come across a few blotters that make for a satisfactory trip. He normally takes about 4 to reach the desired effects. Of coursre, your situation may vary depending on your location and connections.

The following is taken from Erowid
Dose
A standard dose of LSD for the past 20 years has been between 50 - 150 ug (micrograms). A single hit of most blotter paper contains somewhere in this range, though this varies depending on the source and there is no way for the average user to determine the strength of a piece of blotter other than by word of mouth. In the 60's and 70's, when LSD came primarily in pill form, the average single dosage unit was somewhat higher than it is with today's blotter, more often in the 200-400 ug range. A drop of liquid can contain a huge amount of LSD but is generally made so that one drop is a single medium dose.

It seems that the doses on blotter really fluxuate. Recently lots of potent blotters have been going around and it seems that most blotters are meeting the standard 100ug and some surpassing it.

And one last word from erowid
Blotter
The most common form of LSD is paper blotter divided into about 1/4" squares called tabs. A single tab usually contains between 30 - 100 ug of LSD. Paper blotters are created by taking a sheet of absorbant paper (usually decorated and perforated) and soaking it in a dilution of lysergic acid diethylamide. The dilution can vary greatly from one batch to another, or one chemist to another. Because of the method used to make blotter tabs, there is no practical way to know the exact dosage of a particular tab without either trying it or knowing the chemist. Adjacent tabs on a sheet will usually contain very similar levels of LSD. Because a blotter tab is so small, only extremely potent chemicals such as LSD can fit at active levels.

Okay so basically the blotter can vary greatly. Honestly, SWIM has tested some blotters that he estimates to be about 30ug(very low) and others which seemed to be about the standard dose (100ug). It will vary from batch to batch, chemist to chemist, and you must also take into account purity of the lsd and exposure to light which will cause deterioration. Even though the chemist might have layed the blotter at what he/she thought to be 100ug, if the acid was only 90% pure, then the blotters will only be 90ug. Over time the dose will degrade leaving you with a smaller dose of lsd.

SWIM has never tasted any blotter that was very strong but 4 regular blotters make for a great time. Some have reported blotters with 200+ug and this trend seems to be getting more common. 100ug is a good dose to start with and many people would not want a higher dose. If all blotters were 200+ug there would be a lot more bad trips. With 100ug doses, most people will be satisfied, and if not, they can take more.

Hello ,

Swim can tell u that these strong motherfuckers are back !!
Swim was told the same exact thing ... the true old skool dosis that Timothy leary would give away for free .. they were all up to 500 mq.

Swim tried that .... and u know what Swim will say !!!

It was to much.
He took a whole papertrip of this "Magical Heart of 500 mq" and it was to much.

Like the movie Fear and Loading in las Vegas ... he took to much just like Swim !!

Don't worry Swim is still kicking hard ..
No negative feelings what so ever...

Even better it made Swim a more compleet human being.

Albert Hoffman @ your service.

not sure about if the strenght has gone down but do know that swim has never been happy with a single blotter. swim is young so has no idea what the good ol days may have held. the same thing happened with E it went from hitting you hard to just hitting if your lucky. lets hope things turn around for the better. Then again can sid even be found any more I thought it was extinct. (no im not looking)

[melt_000]

the doses swim has seen on two occasions have both been very weak, less than 50ug judging from the experiences of others or else he is just immune or something. two blotters and lots of weed produced no visuals at all, less effects than he usually gets from lsa. but better qualitatively of course...

[raven3davis]

SWIM wants to take 1000ug of lsd so two of the heart blotters would make for an excellent trip! SWIM agrees though that 500ug is too much for a dose. 500ug is usually about 5 hits and most people dont want to take five hits. You could definitely split the heart blotter into several doses.

[hazeinmybong2]

How do you know these Hearts are 500ug? I keep seein people on this board coming up with, "Swim dosed 300ug of lsd" and such in trip reports but how do they know?

[CrookedEye]

Honestly, if someone isn't laying the sheets, it is probably purely speculation... With that said, swim thinks he could guess a close range, just from experience.. 500 mic blotters are highly suspect, ISWIMsO, but anything is possible...

Here in holland we can deliver any kind of drugs to a test center, there u pay and u get a number, it is anonymous.
Your number is connected to your sample, Swim paid a lot of money to test 3 different samples later on Swam tested the same heart that came out the strongest 386 mq at another station with gave 486, both were warned before testing results are like the wind ....hard to catch. Salesman told Swim this was a 750 mq dosis.
Never the less Swim would be offended if anyone would doubt these results, for 2 reasons:
Swim is a lsd-lover, has never sold one heart. Only given away to share to experience.
Swim is proud to be a person that takes effort to test his product before believing someone.

The BHO oil Swim produces has been tested aswell at the same station, test give Swim what he needs ... honor over his goodies.
