Drug info - Question about acid transfer

[liftedwon]

SWIM wants to know if it is a possible/ a good or bad idea to transfer acid from liquid form and put it on blotter paper? If this is possible what would the process that SWIM goes through entail?

[Desertfox]

uhm. drop it on paper and let dry. Swim would recommend a piece of your favorite candy rather than a piece of paper. both are not good for you but atleast the candy is meant to be eaten.

SWIM would think it would be a great idea to get that down on paper, rather than handling that precious and volatile substance in liquid form. Didn't Hoffman get dosed by accident that way?

But SWIM has never seen liquid acid, and would probably be tempted to line it up in shot glasses, while cranking some George Thorogood.

SWIm likes putting it in the little bottles of Sweet Breath drops. One drop (or two) on the old tounge and Blam! It will open the old third eye and give you minty breath at the same time. SWIMs friend Poo Bear was arrested with a bottle of laced Sweet Breath and they took it from him and then gave it back when he was released. they had no idea what else was in the bottle. Made the ride home more interesting.

^^ yes SWIM has had vials that were already in the breath mint drops when it was obtained. And to the other poster above, SWIM believes Hoffman was working around crystal LSD, not liquidm and Hoffman intentionally ingested it but it was such a small amount he was not expecting it to have any potency. His approach wasn't very scientific so he didn't like to discuss how he discovered its psychoactivity.

Where does this information come from? Every account of the discovery of LSD-25 (including third and first party accounts) details an accidental absorption- not intentional ingestion.

Why would Hofmann (not Hoffman) intentionally ingest a potential analeptic? What purpose would an uncontrolled human trial of a circulatory stimulant in a healthy individual serve? Especially if he was supposedly taking a dose he thought would be inactive, as you suggest?

Please explain and provide a source for your claim.

That is the same question the scientists asked Hofmann, and thats why he would give his reply of accidental ingestion. SWIM has no reference but this is his own conclusion based off his own reading many materials on the subject, sorry if it came off as spouted fact. The accidental ingestion could have happened but from what swim has read (many interviews and LSD: my problem child) it seems that Hofmann had mystical experiences when he was a young lad, and even dreams of LSD-25's particular structure, making him give it a little more attention and re-review it for his studies. If he never had those gut feelings that there was something to that particular analogue of lysergic acid he made he would have never gone back to re-examine it and then "accidentally" ingest it. Gut feelings aren't always so well recieved in science as reasons, so Hofmann kept his mouth shut and painted it as an accident. but swim really thinks he just went for it, trusted that the universe had his back, and sampled some of the crystal. You'll never find Hofmann himself admitting this but something tells SWIM (maybe it's that very thing that sparked wonder in Hofmann) that he had previous premonitions that something was special about the compound before any effects caused by accidental ingestions caused him to look into it further. just a hunch

Swim agrees with shampoos take above...

as to the original post- if swiy wanted to transfer the liquid to Blotter paper, the simplest/most accurate would be to apply to individual squares via an eyedropper.
If extra blotter paper is available swiy could also "test" a sheet of it with high proof alcohol to see what volume it absorbs. Then soak a fresh piece in the liquid in a pyrex tray and hang to dry. Easy enough to calculate the known # of hits in the liquid to the size "hits" of the blotter...

When SWIM tells the cops he accidentally ingested things in the lab, they never believe SWIM either.
