The mind-altering and incredible hallucinogen, Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) also referred to as acid has been one of the most popular drugs of its century.

Adored for its superb ability to inspire spiritual enlightenment, epiphanies, and creativity.

LSD is a product made from lysergic acid, a natural substance taken from Claviceps purpurea, a fungus that grows on grains and rye.

If you decide to experiment with LSD be sure to test it before consuming it. Ehrlich Reagent testing kit tests for the substance of LSD.

Successfully taking LSD can induce feelings of euphoria and could also make you a bit energetic.

What is LSD?

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, LSD, formally termed D-lysergic acid diethylamide, is one of the most powerful mood-changing chemicals.

A Swiss scientist, Albert Hofmann, discovered LSD in 1938 after interacting with a small amount.

LSD is a potent psychoactive drug that alters an individual’s perception, behavior, mood, and cognitive processes.

Throughout the years LSD became widely popular but was misused which resulted in them being illegal. Scientists are against this and believe that they can actually heal certain illnesses.

How To Know If Its Pure LSD

LSD has a lot of different names in the street. It goes by Dots, Acid, Blotter, or Yellow Sunshine. Unfortunately, not all LSD is pure.

Pure LSD comes directly from lysergic acid that is taken from a fungus mentioned above.

How Can You Tell When Its Fake?

Fake LSD has a taste to it. Pure LSD should not have a taste.

The Effects of LSD

The effects of LSD typically kick in within 20 to 90 minutes and typically lasts between 6 to 12 hours.

Even taken at smaller doses of 75-150 micrograms can still have an effect on an individuals mind.

The effects of LSD range from physiological to psychological.

At lower doses of 25 micrograms or less, an individual typically feels:

How To Avoid a Bad Trip

The amount of dosage you consume can affect the chances of getting a bad trip.

There are also minor factors that can also affect your trip. These include the location or the environment where you are taking LSD and your current state of mind when you are about to trip.

To avoid a bad trip you should:

• Take LSD with people you trust
• Do not take if you are angry, anxious, or any other negative moods
• Take at a place where you feel comfortable

MDMA has mostly been used and seen as a “party drug,” but new research has pointed out that it can be a breakthrough drug in relationships.

Therapists have found that using MDMA in couples therapy has profoundly helped couples open up to each other in ways that may actually help fix problems in their relationship.

Couples have found that taking MDMA has helped strengthen their relationship and felt an immense love towards each other.

As of now, MDMA is still illegal but many therapists are stepping up to reveal its powerful abilities.

Katie Anderson, describes the use of MDMA in couples therapy and reveals that there is a sense of connectivity between the couples. She also says that these couples can learn to face their problems and move forward with clarity. She believes that MDMA can have a big impact in couples therapy.

Furthermore, she says that couples using MDMA can be free of fear. Meaning that these couples can talk about anything, from sexual fantasies, infidelity, and memories.

She had mentioned that some couples have told her that they felt as if they were one person.

Another therapist, Friederike Meckel Fischer, also believes that MDMA can have profound benefits in its use in couples therapy.

Sasha who has been coined the godfathers of MDMA, has experimented with MDMA alongside his wife. Together they have journeyed and learned more about each other and explored their consciousness.  

I believe Ann and Sasha Shulgin are living proof that MDMA can help couples love and open up to each other. Their relationship is professional yet compassionate towards each other. They work so well together and enjoy each others company.

This wonderful drug may actually help decrease divorce rates in America which have been rocketing for years.

Society displays practical and reasoning above everything else. Ignoring feelings and emotions as unimportant. This has possibly led to many couples separating because they are not able to open up to each other.

I believe that MDMA can help couples open up and feel that love they felt with each other again. I also think that it can help society, it can bring peace and love to the world at large.

TODD MISSION, Texas- The Middlelands Festival is an experience for all ages full of music, fun, and festivities. These festivities got cut short for 42 individuals the 3rd of May through the 7th of May. Authorities have confirmed most of the arrests were drug-related offenses, with a few intoxication arrests on festival grounds. The drug-related offenses included individuals caught with drugs ranging from LSD, ecstasy cocaine, marijuana, and abuse of prescription drugs. Notifications were put out at the time or ticket purchase that all individuals entering the fair grounds were subject to search, and hereby consented. The event posed a zero tolerance towards illegal substances, and belligerent intoxication. No deaths were reported during this event.

The festival was held at the Texas Renaissance Festival grounds in Todd Mission, Texas. The lineup included Country music star Clay Walker. Around 90,000 individuals from all over attended the event. This festival is seen as a huge economical boost for the city. It was expected that nearly 25,000 individuals would attend the event each day. RV camping, Forrest Camping, and vehicle camping were of the approved sites for individuals to camp out at. 21+ parties, rides, and other accommodations were made during this event. Neighbor complains for those who lives near buy were at a high. One man reported that you could hear the concerts and sing every lyric from his backyard. The future holds potential towards fixing the issue of noise so everyone can all around be satisfied with the event. The event struck a positive experience among those who attended through sources such as social media.

When most people hear MDMA they think of “Molly” or “Ecstasy” and associate it with music festivals and raves. However, what most people don’t know is that MDMA is not just for recreation use and has a very practical and effective clinical use. Even though MDMA is considered an “illegal” drug by the DEA, several scientists are working to prove that it has an extremely beneficial medical application.

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a non-profit research and educational organization developing medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana. With regards to MDMA, they are currently working on several studies to see whether MDMA-assisted psychotherapy can help heal the psychological and emotional damage caused by sexual assault, war, violent crime, and other traumas. They are also studying MDMA-assisted therapy for autistic adults with social anxiety and MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for people with anxiety related to life-threatening illnesses. From preliminary studies, they have shown that MDMA along with psychotherapy can help people overcome their posttraumatic stress disorders and anxiety. The most incredible thing about it is that unlike other medications for mental illnesses, MDMA only needs to be administered a few times. This means MDMA-assisted psychotherapy could be a cure to help people overcome their fears and traumas.

As most people reading this know, MDMA is known for increasing feelings of trust and compassion towards others. This is what makes it an ideal addition to psychotherapy. It gives the patients a more positive, optimistic, and different outlook on the issue that was such a problem for them, which can make it easier for them to overcome it.

More research is currently in the works/needs to be done. However, it can be difficult because in the eyes of the government it is illegal, which makes it hard for scientists to get approved for studies. It must also be made clear that the MDMA used in these studies is pure MDMA and is not the same as “Ecstasy” or “molly” that is obtained on the street. Sure, these street drugs may contain some MDMA but they most likely also contain other unknown substances. In the laboratory studies, pure MDMA has been proven safe for human consumption when taken a limited number of times in moderate doses. If you would like to learn more about the studies that were done by MAPS (which I suggest you do) check out their website at maps.org. It truly is incredible research that is paving the way for the legalization of marijuana and psychedelics.

According to Global Drug Survey 2015, the United Kingdom consumes more MDMA than any other nation when it is in the mood. Averagely, UK users take 0.42 ‘grams per session’ followed closely by Scotland and Ireland on 0.38 and 0.37 respectively. Utilization of ecstasy pills in the UK is also alarming after Australia being first known for its tenacious border controls.

The GDS states that illiteracy overdosage makes it unreliable since MDMA is always increasing in recognition as compared to its erratic accomplice ecstasy tablets: There has been an enormous rise in consumption rates and countries over the years. MDMA crystals are in excellent supply. At times, the pills contain an extra 200mg and frequently 300mg of MDMA. This is twice and thrice what many people assume is a moderate dose.

Some countries are going extremely overboard in the amount of MDMA consumed in a session when the mean amount should be 1/4gm. The UK is currently on the top of the list with an average dose of 0.42mg/session. Vice’s Dutch editor Thijs Roes interviewed a couple of the pill producers on what on what was following the manufacture of such dose pills. He responded by saying, “What they’re doing is a pissing contest. One told me it was a competition between manufacturers and race against themselves. The other described his 330mg pill as a flagship product, as a way to get known in the scene. They felt that users would know to dose them and that the amount of MDMA would eventually stabilize around 200mg”.

Thijs Roes’s request on manufacturers is to produce of 80-100mg and placing the dosage on them. For those concerned, they should consider putting dosages than logos. He addressed consumers to keep a huge groove in the middle when taking 200mg pills so that people may examine and determine they only need to take half or even a quarter. “Every time you get a new pill always take a quarter to start with and wait at least 60-90 minutes before dosing ‘start low go slow.'” Based on the annual survey statistics, vaporizing weed is currently more prevalent than smoking it.

In recent years, a new drug has become popular amongst party-goers called “molly”. Molly is thought by many to be “pure” MDMA, but often this couldn’t be further from the truth. Often times, molly can contain ingredients that are much more dangerous than MDMA, including the infamous drugs known as “bath salts”. There have been a number of cases of people that have been hospitalized after ingesting what they thought was pure MDMA, but was really another, much more dangerous substance.

One case of this substance containing a dangerous chemical occurred at Wesleyan University. Ten people at the university were found exhibiting symptoms of a drug overdose and one of the patients even had to be revived using a defibrillator! Four of the people had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital because their condition was so critical. The culprit behind these overdoses was likely something other than MDMA.

In a study of “molly”, it was found that only 13 percent of the substance actually contained any MDMA! The others were all other chemicals, commonly bath salts. So, essentially when one purchases a dose of this substance, they have no idea what it actually is that they are getting.

Bath Salts, which are a common ingredient in Molly have led to some very nasty outcomes. The substances can cause heart attacks, bizarre behavior, agitation, suicidal thinking, and even outright death. Bath Salts are dangerous substances that carry far greater risks than MDMA itself.

However, some people are still going to continue to use these substances despite the risks involved, so there is a second best option. There are kits available to test substances such as what is sold as “molly” to determine what chemical exactly is in the drugs. If one is set on consuming “molly”, using one of these kits will help to mitigate some of the risk involved.

If the substance is tested and it is not what it is sold as, chances are it is very risky to consume it. If there are significant impurities, still, it is likely very risky to take. If the substance is not what the person purchased, some users may see not being able to ingest the substance as having wasted their money. However, in spite of this, if the “molly” that was tested is not MDMA or only partially MDMA, the health risks are great and simply throwing the substance in the garbage is certainly the best way to go because your health is worth more than whatever it was that you paid on the substance.

Of course, even MDMA itself does carry some risks such as dehydration and heat stroke. There have been cases of people who have been seriously negatively effected by MDMA alone, but this is relatively uncommon. In comparison to other illicit drugs, MDMA is MUCH less dangerous. It is typically the impurities that lead to the deaths and/or overdoses rather than the MDMA itself.
