The LSD Dosage Guide | Determining the Right Dose of LSD

Dosage Guide

LSD is unpredictable in intensity, and relatively minor dose variations may induce significantly different trips. This discussion is a summarizes our experiences, but “outlier” trips are not infrequent. Use this as a starting point only.

25 ug to 75 ug.  A threshold/mild experience.  A mild mood altering experience, with mild euphoria.  Visual hallucinations are limited to color sensations, mild "breathing" effect, and psychedelic color flashes, especially when viewing bright objects like computer monitors or phones.  Main trip may last four to six hours, but comedown may extend to standard length. 

75 ug to 150 ug.  A substantial experience.  All phases of the LSD experience described above experienced.  At lower range, hallucinations limited to a breathing effect, strong psychedelic colors, mild visual hallucinations (e.g., objects appear distorted).  At the higher end of range, full hallucinations, with object appearing that do not exist, substantial distortion of actual objects, strong swaying of objects like trees, cartoon-like images.  Sense of self intact; standard logic still applying, but self-judgment and fear/anxiety greatly reduced.

150 to 200 ug.  Beautiful colors are everywhere, with stronger visual hallucinations overall. Closed eye visuals are very apparent. Life changing, spiritual experiences or realization may occur. Anxiety may occur.

 200 to 300 ug.  The peak of this trip can be very intense or even scary but like any LSD trip, once the peak effects are over, a state of contentment may follow.  Sense of self remains intact, but irrational thoughts and obsessive thought patterns may arise, including “thought loops” or “looping”. Panic about one’s own safety, of the safety of loved ones, may occur. Closed-eye visuals are very strong at this dose.

300 to 400 ug.  Strong visuals, loss of sense of self/ego dissolution begins.  Standard logic may no longer apply at points.  Visuals are intense.  May be difficult to walk or understand normal day to day activities.  

400 ug to 500 ug.  Time distortions may become intense, including feelings of time stopping.  Sense of self often gone/full ego dissolution is possible.  Body movement becomes difficult and disorienting. No longer able to form rational thoughts as one enters a temporary psychotic state (not generally unpleasant).  Very intense visual hallucinations.  Closed eye hallucinations may be overwhelming, with some wishing to be able to escape the intensity of the trip.

500 to 700 ug.  Very strong hallucinations.  Objects appearing that do not exist.  Elaborate hallucinations.  Strong loss of reality. Entire ego dissolution likely.  Strong religious or symbolic imagery may occur/mystical experiences reported.  Often overwhelming.  

700 to 1000 ug.  Full out-of-body experiences.  Synesthesia more likely.  Religious imagery often strong.  Entire loss of rationality, lack of ability to walk or interact in any meaningful way.  

1000 to 1500 ug  Perception of standard reality stops.  Entire field of vision may be hallucinations, including strong fractal hallucinations.  Sense of death (or more accurately sense of ceasing to exist) often occurs.  

1500 ugs+  Experiences may be similar to DMT but extended. Basic body functions are challenging.  Vision is consumed by hallucinations.  No sense of self remains.  Audio hallucinations may be strong.  Standard reality no longer applies.  Merging with objects likely.  No type of rational thought left.
