First time user: Al-LAD or 1P-LSD?

Out of these two, AL-LAD. 1P-LSD is not as great as it is made out to be. It's weak - 37% as potent as LSD by weight. And there have been reports of weird physical reactions to it. I am not 100% convinced that it is safe. I myself have used it three times, and it didn't feel exactly forgiving. I stopped using it after a trip during which my left arm went numb for a period of two or three hours. That freaked me out a fair bit, as you can imagine.

So, AL-LAD seems to be the "safer" choice. But really, neither of these two hold a candle to LSD, or even magic mushrooms. Why do I say this? LSD and shrooms have a certain spiritually rejuvenating component to them. After a trip, you will feel reborn in a way. This effect is actually more important than the trip itself, in my opinion.

I know that we are on an RC sub, but I think this needs saying - if you at all can, get real LSD. Figure out the onions. It's not as hard as it seems. Once you take the plunge, you will be happy that you did it.

Or, better yet, get a growkit and grow your own shrooms. Growing shrooms is a beautiful thing, and it establishes a personal relationship between you and the mushroom. They take you on a journey, through which you will receive significant healing. Getting into mushrooms in this way was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Over the course of a continued use of mushrooms lasting several months, a number of harmful habits that I was engaging in just sort of fell away, I was freed of them. I truly could not have wished for a better teacher, a better therapist.

This is what psychedelics can be about, but RCs don't work this way, for whatever reason. Perhaps it is because they are not long in this world, and their intelligence has not yet learned a great deal about people, and therefore their ability to help us is severely limited.

LSD, on the other hand, has been learning about people for almost 80 years. And mushrooms...well :)
