    had a ice spice song come on on a random spotify playlist that was pretty good except it was about spongebob and from the spongebob movie and im not a cool enough dude to be like “yes I can enjoy a song about spongebob separate from the context”

    Probably still better than the $3 Black Fly blotter that went around in 96 with so much strychnine my back and jaw hurt for 2 months

          They mean add your own LSD. Outside of collectors (they genuinely exist), those blotter sheets would typically be used by people buying the LSD in bulk from manufacturers in liquid form, and infusing it into the blotter paper. Often, though not always, by resellers.

          Also the instructions to synthesize LSD are public, they just involve thousands of dollars worth of lab equipment and a good theoretical and practical knowledge of organic chemistry.

            people buying the LSD in bulk from manufacturers in liquid form

            No large distributors sell or buy LSD in liquid form, it’s sold as a powdered crystal. Some vendors sell LSD disolved in liquid for end users, but people who sell blotter typically get crystal and make solutions with it at the time they are dosing the blotter. LSD degrades more quickly in solution and it’s very hard to keep accurate doses with evaportion losses.

            I recommend everyone try LSD sometime in your life, it’s life changing. Unless you have a family history of schizophrenia or other serious mental disorders, then sadly for you it’s best to avoid psychedelics just in case.

              Maybe that has changed with DNMs. Direct manufacturers like the Dr Seuss guys sell online directly even to consumers in large-ish amounts. Including as a liquid.

              With that being said I have no idea if they qualify as “large” distributors.

              Still the main prior, unsurprisingly.

              I’m sure you know that but the fact ergot is pointed as the source of various weird goings on in history is highly unlikely - it’s almost certainly a myth. It doesn’t work in terms of dosage. Mind you I’m still personally convinced that whatever they did at the height of the Eleusinian Mysteries (which your article mentions) involved a strong psychedelic - it just wasn’t ergot.

                If I was a tripping monk being interrogated, I would blame ergot “getting into the bread” too!

      Lol this reminded me of a funny thing a free local paper printed on April first like 20 years ago: They said that LSD had been decriminalized and that a small square in the article contained a dose of LSD. Soooooo many people ate the little Square and swore they were tripping.
