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~~. This property was for dmt/ayuhasha and not lsd. Apologies. Chlorine can neutralize LSD and is found in tap water but I can't find the resource for how much chlorine is in an average ml of tap water and how much is needed to neutralize 100ug LSD on a paper tab, right now, so I'll retract that statement until I feel like digging more for the research on it.

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 5 -15 minutes. Some people take more than one. It can't kill you. There is no overdose . 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. Many other drugs degrade even when stored in air tight containers in dark and cool environments (like opiates).

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 but I'm not a pharmacologist , I'm a cognitive researcher. 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.
