    Summary TheDrug.Wiki TripSit PsychonautWiki

    AL-LAD is a semisynthetic lysergamide first synthesized in the 1970s and characterized by Alexander Shulgin in TiHKAL. It became available as a research chemical in 2013. Often described as a more visually-oriented and lighter alternative to LSD, with reduced anxiety and body load.

    Perspectives

    “AL-LAD has a distinctive lysergamide warmth in the bodyfeel, like a clinging and pressing numbness from all sides that fills my core with euphoria. An enjoyable substance with subtle but distinguishable differences from LSD.”

    “I am aware in twenty minutes, and am into a stoned place, not too LSD like, in another hour. I would very much like to push higher, but that is not in the cards today and I must acknowledge recovery by hour eight.”

    “This is a chemical that has consistently delivered insight, fulfilment and positivity, with little or no body load. This occasion was no exception.”

    Rapid tolerance accrues after a single experience, similar to LSD. Cross-tolerance across serotonergic lysergamides is partial; spacing experiences by 2+ weeks reduces tolerance-related dose escalation. Data are inferred from LSD literature plus user reports for AL-LAD.

    AL-LAD 300ug Beautiful Trip Took a Turn for The Worse Writing this on the comdown of this trip so it might be kindof messy but here goes. So this trip starts very mild I was at a skatepark and took 2 tabs (150ug each) of AL-LAD at 14:53. For the first hour I just skated around a bit waiting for it to hit me.

    After failing to acquire LSD for several months, I decided I would try Al LAD and hoped it would give me the experience I was seeking. My previous drug experience includes Cannabis, Alcohol, LSA (my favorite so far), Alcohol and DPH (weirdly fun).
