Summary
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. Active at microgram doses; always use accurate scales and start with conservative doses. Sold on blotter paper; test with Ehrlich's reagent (turns purple) to confirm presence of an indole.
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.”
