Drug info - Identifying LSD on Blotter

[pandemic]

SWIM lately has been getting blotter that is said to be LSD, but it's usually some sort of RC. SWIM is extremely frustrated because of this.

So, is there anything that SWIM could do to ensure that things are what they say they are?

[fnord]

find a new source,or be happy the the rc.theres also tryptamine test kits availible online

[pandemic]

So a tryptamine test kit is the only way? If so SWIM will have to get one.

[fnord]

well sure theres other ways,but a test kit would be the cheepest/easyist.do you not like the RC?what leads you to belive its a rc and not lsd?what are the effects of the blotter?swim sometimes would rather have an rc then lsd,depending on the chem

[pandemic]

SWIM doesnt mind rc's, I love them, but when SWIM is expecting lsd and 24 hours later you're still trippin...

So usually it's super tripping with doc or super intense body high with doi. Either way SWIM just acquired some for this weekend, so hopefully it's a super weekend.

LSD glows under a black light. If there is no powerful glow all over the blotter, then there is definately NOT lsd on there. Of course other things glow as well. (many people mix rc's into quanine soda water so it glows as well.)

a ehrlich's modified reagent test kit will tell swiy for sure if there is LSD or not.

SWIM tried the blacklight test yesterday and it didn't glow.

[Pinkavvy]

That means it's not lsd. Even if it does glow it still may not be lsd... but with no glow at all, no lsd at all.

Then it's not LSD-25. Likely a DOx RC. SWIM should hope it's not 5-MeO-AMT. But if people aren't crawling about puking their guts out - it's likely a methoxylated, halogenated amphetamine-class psychedelic.

Good luck to SWIM on his quest.

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here (well very new in fact), and am impressed with the level of knowledge y'all have gleaned from your labrats and passed on to inquisitive minds...
I have a small request for anyone; does anyone here have or have a link to a picture of blotter glowing under blacklight? I have looked on here, and erowid, and also googled 'LSD blacklight' with frankly confusing results and no luck!
Basically, SWIM has some blotter, and a blacklight. She tells me that the tabs seem to glow in a 'mottled' blotchy kind of way, not as bright a glow as with UV paint or anything but still noticable, and she has asked me if I can find a picture of what it's meant to look like glowing?
Any help much appreciated!

[rodent]

Guess I know of some cat who could help put something together... need to pickup a black light tho.....

Will report back with results hopefully this weekend.
No promises though.

[Mr.Nixon]

no it doesnt glow brite or anything

it is a mild glow

and as i can recal the brighter the glow

and the more consistant of its coverage

can identify its strength

[Ashwinder]

Thanks guys very helpful SWIM's not gonna be taking it yet but in a couple weeks, sorry about the long sentence and no attention to grammer just finished exams and am a bit drunk, tomorrow's not gonna be fun...
Thanks again guys, just confirming what I thought but needed some reassurance!

Be careful.
LSD glows fairly bright when pure. White paper and white ink will glow dimly and blotchy. If the blotter is white, or has white parts of the print and is glowing only where the white or light color is, then there is probably not lsd present.

[Nagognog2]

It would be nice to have some reference samples on film, as well as comparatives of other things that glow. In any case, this shouldn't be taken as a definitive test. A good chemical test is the best way to go, such as the Keller Indole test. Here's a small chunk of that:

Well it has transpired that SWIM was being a moron, the blacklight she has is rather weak and she was holding it a couple of inches above the blotter. Turns out when it was held closer the glow was a lot more apparent...SWIM tells me she feels a bit stoopid for asking me to post about this now... ah well you live and learn eh?

Wow thanks for that, after reading a bit of it (won't pretend to have read through it all yet!) it sounds like the way to go. Unfortunately it is a bit late for that, SWIM tells me she has the coming weekend off work and will probably just go ahead and take one tab. Not the best idea perhaps but she won't listen... useful info thanks - that's what I like about this site and its benevolent but firm mods, ask for help and you are given actual research not told 'go to erowid'.

[ima-do-proprio-ser]

well,my llama have just told me she read on the forums that it's possible to buy blank(no-acid) blotter papers by the internet
she didn't knew it,and that was quite frustrating,since she lives on Brazil

here it's quite hard and expensive to buy an acid
but most of the blotters have lots of amphetamines,and my llama hates amphetamines : it hurts her jaws

is there anything my llama can do to assure she is buying a good lsd?
is it possible to test(without complicate chemical tests),the "originality" of a Bike LSD,as an example?


*mounts the llama and runs away
!thanks

[Euphoric]

Sorry, there is no simple was to test LSD. A chemical test is really the only way to go. Test kits can be bought on the net.

[redpoppy]

Doesn't Acid glow under UV light?

Although other things do to, isn't it true that if its NOT glowing then its definitely not acid?

I don't know so please anyone who can clarify would be good.

the answer to that question has already been discussed in this thread, please read before you post

[zera]

Here are indications that what someone purchased is not LSD

1) Blotter does not glow under UV light
2) Blotter tastes bitter
3) Blotter is much larger than normal size
4) It doesnt kick in until over an hour after dosing
5) Trip does not last in the 9-14 hour time frame

Passing these tests you still cant be sure that its actually LSD, however it is much more likely that it is. And if it does fail one or more of these test its almost assuredly not LSD.

succint, and most of all accurate. Thank you

SWIM basically Knows that "supposedly" acid on a blotter glows under a UV dark light, but so does semen and highlighter. Soooooooo are there any other, non-chemical test ways to see if it really is acid?

[Euphoric]

Nope, a chem test is the best way to go.

[Coconut]

Unfortunately a chemical test is the only way to get a positive identification for LSD, unless you're an experienced tripper and can tell whether it's acid or not from the effects.

[Panthers007]

Yup. Unless you want to have your chipmunk note a bitter flavour. By which time it's too late to avoid a 14 to 30 hour excursion. And grounds to kick the dealer in the kneecaps.

[Samadhi]

Ha funny tid bit from my cat's personal experiences...

most makers of blotters my cat knows will put any substance (whether or not it is LSD, DOx, or even 5-meo-AMT) on WHITE blotter so the kids who use the black light method believe it is LSD... unfortunately they find out somethings wrong and when they pop them on their tongue and they taste like licking a crazy chemical ashtray (assuming it is something besides LSD)

always know the source and know your friendly neighborhood chemist and if the means are necessary get it tested

but my cat does not condone the action of these guys cause that is just mean and dishonest.
