Neurotoxicity
none_known
Aggregated from 10 verified experience reports. Community data reflects reported subjective experiences, not clinical outcomes.
The following substances carry an elevated risk of adverse interactions with LSD. This list is not exhaustive.
For a full interaction overview, see the Interactions page.
Route of administration significantly influences the risk profile. Intravenous and inhalation routes carry substantially higher risks than oral administration. Commonly reported routes for LSD:
general
Reinheitstest: Verwende immer einen Ehrlich-Reagenztest – echter LSD-Wirkstoff ist farblos und geschmacklos, Fälschungen sind das Hauptrisiko.
general
Dosierung: Beginne mit maximal 75 µg beim ersten Mal. Warte mindestens 90 Minuten, bevor du nachdosierst – die Wirkung setzt verzögert ein.
general
Zeitplanung: Plane 12–14 Stunden für die Erfahrung ein. Keine wichtigen Verpflichtungen am nächsten Tag.
general
Set & Setting: Konsumiere nur in vertrauter, sicherer Umgebung und in positiver Grundstimmung. Äußere Einflüsse prägen den Trip stark.
general
Sitter: Habe bei unerfahrenem Konsum eine nüchterne Vertrauensperson als Begleitung dabei.
general
Kontraindikationen: Nicht konsumieren bei persönlicher oder familiärer Vorgeschichte von Psychosen, Schizophrenie oder bipolaren Störungen.
