Help me out. What is this picture and what should I know.
Everyone talks about the drug part, but not the rest. So, filling in on this one.
The black thing right there is The Kaaba, the holiest place of Muslims. People on the background are completing Ṭawāf - holy pilgrimage to The Kaaba, which ends in going around it seven times in a counter -clockwise direction.
People there normally wear special clothes and chant holy phrases as they go around. For Muslims, it's a very serious and spiritual event.
The dude poses in a way that says "hey, I'm gonna get spiritual with THIS" while completely disregarding every rule about being there.
(Muslims and other knowledgeable folks are welcome to correct me)
Also this is what the inside of Kaaba looks like in case anyone was curious.
It bothers me that it's a cube and asymmetrical inside.
why is the door off center to the wall?! gah.
(and another thank you, never realized there was an inside you could go inside of, I always assumed it was a sealed tomb.
It's also not a cube!
It is 12x10,5x15 m.
🤯
damn, I didn't even know there was an inside, ngl pretty damn cool
The gift shop is just off-camera to the right. You can get Mohammed bobbleheads but they're pretty marked up.
?
I was curious if there was anything inside it for at least a decade. I have no idea why I've never looked it up. I even subscribe to Wikipedia.
Thank you
Whoa, I didn’t know we’d be allowed to see inside.
…now I need to see inside the tomb.
Bro went to Mecca tripping on acid.
Lsd is often distributed and consumed via small paper squares called "tabs" that's made on blotter paper. The paper is thick like cardstock. Sometimes with colorful psychedelic artwork printed on it.
The lsd is diluted in a solution and the paper is soaked in the solution.
The tiny microscopic lsd crystals deposit on the paper. The blotter paper is divided into ~~1cm~~ squares. Correction. 5mm squares
Lsd is neutralized by many chemicals , including chlorine (found in tap water) and stomach enzymes. It cannot be swallowed and still have an effect. Unless mixed with other compounds
To take LSD, a person will place squares (typically one square is 1x 100ug dose) of the paper on the tounge or under it. And hold for about 15 minutes. Some people take more than one. It can't kill you. But it can lead to accidents in high doses that can kill you. So it's not risk free even if health risks are low.
Also I said ug. Not mg. The lsd drug is very unique in that it has high potency at micrograms. Fentanyl is another drug that has that property . But it is rare.
The lining of the mouth (mucus membranes) allows for easy transfer of the drug into the blood stream. That's true for a lot of drugs actually.
This is why lsd has such a unique drug delivery method though. It can't be swallowed and it should be used in very small doses.
Lsd is also very resistant to degredation. Oxygen, sunlight, and neutralizing chemicals like chlorine can degrade it. But if it's stored properly it can last a very very long time. This is another rare property it has.
It's also clear, tasteless, and no odor.
I'm a perception researcher and , of course, this would be a drug on my radar. So I know quite a bit about it. I've given a lecture on psychedelics. It's a fascinating topic.
Also I'm generally interested in psycho-pharmacology because , well, it's interesting.
If you want to learn more interesting facts about LSD and other psychedelics, ask away.
**Guy in picture has two tabs (squares of blotter paper) on his tongue and is wearing sunglasses because lsd dialates your pupils and makes your eyes sensitive to light.
LSD absolutely can be swallowed, I don't understand where all these myths come from and how they keep being propagated over decades and decades when it is a very simple thing looking it up.
Also, LSD is not crystallizing onto blotter. It is absorbed into the paper fibers from a solution. That is not how crystallization works.
Jesus there is more... Chlorine can degrade LSD under certain conditions, but trace chlorine in tap water does NOT reliably neutralize it in vivo.
LSD is chemically fragile. It degrades with light, oxygen, heat, acids, bases, and oxidizers. What you are saying is the opposite of how chemists describe LSD.
lol, sure you are.
How much acid have you taken yourself? Because it definitely works when swallowed.
After re checking this information, I believe I was confusing DMT and LSD properties of not being active when ingested.
I remembered DMT can't be ingested but I was sure it was true for LSD. But I was mistaken. LSD is neutralized by base not acids.
Incorrect about acid in the stomach. Most DOX and nbome chems are neutralized by stomach acid and during the mid 2010 acid drought swallowing tabs was considered the simplest way to avoid unwanted DOX trips.
Source: the hundreds of tabs that I swallowed and still had a good time
Edit: Tons of chemicals are active on the hundred microgram scale. Most benzos, nearly all psychedelics, a handful of antipsychotics ect. And if we go active at >10mg, which is impossible to dose without a .000 scale, the list gets even bigger. I appreciate the attempt at an informative post but it's got a few dangerous points of misinformation.
I'm concerned that somebody giving lectures about this topic is as uninformed as you seem to be. Have you taken acid? The subjective experience is as important as the objective. It's like listening to my cop uncle talk about weed but couched in academia.
I took DOC back in the 00s (on purpose) and it was an extremely wild 20-some hours. Second weirdest thing I’ve done (the weirdest is Foxy by a WIDE margin,) but I still had a relatively good time due to having a great and comfortable set and setting. By hour ten, I was VERY ready to be done.
I was too poor to care, been on plenty of non acid trips on chems that lasted wayyy too long. Some were really fun, some were abject terror. Never got to try foxy sadly. MXE was the strangest chem I've tried and holey hell, I turned into an interdimentional worm crawling through the multiverse. It was super overwhelming.
I never tried MXE! I wanted to as I have enjoyed ket in the past, but the times I was offered MXE, I just eas not in the right headspace/environment.
Foxy is fucking insane. It had the normal visual and auditory hallucinations, but it’s the only thing I’ve ever tried that gave me full on temporal distortions. My partner-at-the-time and I were listening to familiar music. The music would get lower in pitch and streeeetch out, each individual note playing for longer and longer, until the tone went back to normal and the notes stopped being played for so long. When it was low and slow, our bodies got soooo heavy, we would just lay on the floor. When the notes got fast and higher pitched, our bodies would be light with energy. VERY weird stuff.
MXE and ket are really different. The hole threshold and the visual nature are way stronger ime
Honestly, damn. That sounds like a very interesting topic. If I wanted to learn more what resources would you recommend? (preferably textbooks/articles)

This person is an unreliable source fr information on LSD.
They're divided in 0.5x0.5 cm.
You can totally eat a tab and still get high.
Nowadays is hard to find 100ug doses. The minimum I had found is 150ug. Anything over 400ug isn't LSD but Nbomb that is dangerous and should be avoided.
Ugh I do not miss 25i. Put a blotter on my tongue, taste it IMMEDIATELY, spit that shit out.
(This might have been mentioned and crooner definitely already knows this, but to others interested: LSD has zero taste at all. It just tastes like the paper it’s on (or gummy, faint grain alcohol if you’ve got a vial, etc)
I gave up on LSD because it lasted way too long and finished not enjoying it, until talking with a friend I commented that I also hated the sour flavor of it and he was like dude that was nbomb not LSD. Then he gave me some actual LSD and it was way more pleasure experience, not as high, but didn't extend as long and the landing was confortable.
Bitters a spitter, gimme my money back
So take lsd and go star gazing.
Yes, but... it's really hard to stay focused. Everything is kinda awesome to look at, so I have forgotten about the stars and zoned on my surroundings or my hand or a hundred other things. I like tripping in the woods or at the beach best personally.
Novelty is a common effect that people don't talk about much. Essentially it makes everything seem new and novel.
What's interesting is, in the brain there is a specific spike in electrical activity (called event related potential, or ERP) that happens when you look at something new and unexpected. Some call it the novelty indicator. Designated P3a.
You can measure it with eeg equipment (electrodes on the scalp).
I'd be really interested to see if that ERP is happening more on LSD. It might shed more light on the mechanisms of the drug. If it doesn't happen, then it would challenge the theory of what the P3a is.
I personally think LSD has a lot of potential to be used to research perception processing in the brain.
Too bad it's basically impossible to get approval to use it for that reason.

Wait, is two tabs unusual? Like sure the default among my friends was one, but two is for when you really want to experience it and is more for constructive trips or to hallucinate and three is for when you need even more but you're playing with fire there
LSD usually comes soaked into small clips of paper usually just called 'tabs', which come initially as sheets with tear lines seperating each tab. You tear off one, pop it on your tongue, and suck on it, and within a few hours it kicks in.
This guy had two tabs from the look of it and is about to probably have a very spiritual experience.
