1P-LSD experience: all this you need to know

What is 1P-LSD?

1P-LSD is a research chemical, which is chemically related to the illicit drug LSD and belongs to the class Lysergamides. First released on the market in 2015, this RC was christened 1-propionyl-lysergic acid diethylamide, abbreviated 1P LSD. Little research has yet been done on this New Psychoactive Substance, but researchers believe that the RC binds in the brain to serotonin receptors. This activates the receptors to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps create contentment and suppress anxiety, sadness and aggression.

Average 1P-LSD experience

The average 1P-LSD experience is positive. People more often compare the RC to LSD in terms of effects. 1P LSD produces a number of distinctive effects, such as:

• Exhilarating feeling
• Energetic feeling
• Euphoric feelings
• Connectedness
• Sensory perception is heightened
• Sensory perception is mixed up
• Detailed analysis
• Change of time awareness
• Slurred laughter
• Visual hallucinations

At lower doses, hallucinations involve more details and colours are more intense. Even with eyes closed, subjects experience images of geometric shapes. As the doses get higher, the more intense these images become.  

Risks 1P-LSD

1P-LSD can carry a number of different risks. Psychologically, for instance, you may experience anxiety, panic, a bad trip or induce mental illnesses such as psychosis. Flashbacks can also occur. Physically, increased heart rate, nausea and insomnia are possible. In addition, the drug increases the risk of accidents, as your judgement and sense of reality are firmly impaired. Dosage is difficult to estimate and purity is also not guaranteed. 

Dosage and duration of action of the RC

The effects of 1P-LSD last eight to twelve hours on average. You notice the first effects after twenty minutes to two hours after first taking it. 1P LSD can be bought in blotters and pellets. A standard dose is between 20 milligrams and 150 milligrams of active substance. Online studies available suggest that the RC is less potent than LSD.

Negative 1P LSD experience

Experience reports also reveal negative experiences with the RC, similar to the negative effects of LSD. The biggest risk is the ‘bad trip’. Here, a subject experiences intense effects associated with anxiety and confusion. Other negative effects include:

• Nausea
• Muscle cramps
• Negative thoughts
• Psychosis

Combination with alcohol or other RCs is very dangerous

Microdosing with 1P LSD

There are people who use small amounts of 1P LSD each time, which is also known as microdosing. It is suspected that this way you reduce the chances of a bad trip, because you do not experience a full trip. For now, too little research has been done on the RC to be able to say whether microdosing of the substance really helps or whether it is the so-called placebo effect. However, people with psychological complaints do continue to observe an aggravation in their symptoms after microdosing. 

Addiction

Hardly anyone really gets addicted to LSD. Therefore, the same is likely to be true of 1P-LSD. The drug often provides an intense experience from which a person needs to recover. In addition, tolerance develops quickly, which means a person has to use more and more 1p-lsd to achieve the same result.
