Executive Summary

The Path to the Right LSD Dosage
A safe environment and a positive mindset are ALL you need for a good LSD experience? What many people don't know: In addition to set and setting, there is at least one third central factor that overshadows the other two. Unfortunately, this factor is also the one about which there is the greatest disagreement – LSD dosage.
Apart from reasons such as inaccurately dosed blotters from the black market or incorrect intake, it is primarily the lack of knowledge about the different qualities of the various dosage ranges. But that's over now! In our LSD dosage guide, we'll take you by the hand and show you the colorful variety of LSD dosages and their effects. But be warned: the higher the LSD dosage in micrograms, the crazier it gets.
At this point, we can also recommend our blog post Acid 101 (LSD Guide). There you can read everything you should know about LSD. Among other things, you will also find our dosage overview there, which we would like to provide you with again at this point. But before we go into detail about LSD dosages, two important notes:
- Note 1: All subsequent information is in micrograms [µg], not milligrams [mg]!
- Note 2: The LSD dosages do not refer to our legal LSD derivative 1S-LSD (formerly 1T-LSD dosage or 1D-LSD dosage) from the shop. As you know, these are not intended for human consumption!
Guidelines for LSD Quantity
- 5–20 µg (“Microdosing 101”): Similar effect of LSD dosage as adulterated coffee
- 20–50 µg (“Minidosing”): Popular among hikers, therefore often called “Hikrodosing”
- 50–100 µg (“Mididosing”): Neither fish nor fowl, more like chicken (all vegan, of course!)
- 100–150 µg (“Macrodosing”): “Normal” dose (or “trip”) among us hippies
- 150–300 µg (“Megadosing”): Alice in Wonderland (Caution: Danger!)
- >300 µg (“Monsterdosing”): Adios!
But because we are aware of human laziness in reading, we would like to present you with the path to the correct LSD dosage and effect in video format – in private:
