LSD, or lysergic acid diethylamide, is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that can produce a range of effects, depending on the dose taken. LSD is usually consumed in the form of small tabs or "blotter" paper that have been soaked in the drug. The dosage of LSD can vary greatly, with doses ranging from microdoses to heroic doses, very similar to magic mushrooms. In this blog, we will discuss the different levels of dosing LSD, starting with microdosing and ending with the heroic dose.

Microdosing

Microdosing refers to taking a very small dose of LSD, usually less than 20 micrograms (mcg or ug), in order to experience the drug's subtle effects without the full-on hallucinations. Microdosing is gaining popularity as a way to improve creativity, focus, and productivity, as well as to alleviate anxiety and depression. Some people report that microdosing LSD helps them feel more connected to their emotions and thoughts, and that it enhances their creativity and problem-solving abilities.

Threshold Dose

A light dose of LSD typically ranges from 20 to 50 mcg. This dose can produce mild visual and sensory effects, such as colors appearing brighter, patterns becoming more intricate, and sounds becoming more intense. Users may also experience a mild sense of euphoria and a heightened sense of awareness. A light dose of LSD can be a good option for people who want to experience some of the drug's effects without being overwhelmed by them.

Standard Dose

A medium dose of LSD ranges from 50 to 150 mcg and is considered a "full trip". This dose can produce more intense visual and sensory effects, as well as a stronger sense of euphoria and connection to others. Users may also experience a heightened sense of creativity and spirituality. However, a medium dose of LSD can also produce some negative side effects, such as paranoia, anxiety, and confusion.

High Dose

A high dose of LSD ranges from 150 to 500 mcg. This dose can produce very intense hallucinations and sensory experiences, as well as a profound sense of connection to the universe and all living things. Users may also experience a complete loss of self-identity and a feeling of oneness with the world around them. However, a high dose of LSD can also be extremely overwhelming and potentially dangerous. This dose is recommended for experienced trippers. 

Heroic Dose

A heroic dose of LSD is considered to be anything over 500 mcg. This dose can produce extremely intense hallucinations and sensory experiences, as well as a complete loss of touch with reality. Users may also experience ego death, or a complete dissolution of their sense of self. A heroic dose of LSD is not recommended for most people. Before attempting a heroic dose take all the necessary precautions and be sure your mind is ready for the experience. 

In conclusion, LSD can produce a range of effects depending on the dosage taken. Microdosing is a good option for those who want to experience the drug's effects without being overwhelmed by them, while a heroic dose is only recommended for experienced users who are willing to risk the potentially dangerous side effects. Whatever dose you choose, it is important to remember that LSD is a powerful drug that can have both positive and negative effects, and it should be used with caution and respect.
