Comment on The holy journey

That’s still different.
Even if the total quantity of the drug is small in the system once it gets there, it’s not the same as how LSD works. The drug, likely because of its similarity to serotonin and size , is readily absorbed into the blood stream and passes the blood brain barrier easily. It is not filtered out to a small percentage of it’s original dose like most drugs/medicines.
You surely are aware of this ?
There are very few drugs that can work in small dosages like LSD. As I said, fentanyl is one.
I’m not sure what you are talking about with dox trips.
Drugs like DMT /Ayahuasca also can’t be ingested unless they are mixed with a maoi inhibitor.
Most psychedelic research chemicals (nbome) are much different than lsd with different pharm and effect properties.
It’s possible that LSD is released more quickly on the tongue than nbome drugs. So as soon as it hits the tounge the drug is delivered. I don’t think there is research on this. But I’ll look into it.
But this idea that it’s not neutralized in the stomach is false. There is plenty of research on that.

Look up Clonazepam, I’m not going to argue with somebody that is as confidently incorrect as you are. I have a decade and a half of subjective experience and personal research into the chemicals I have put into my body, and spent countless hours talking with people that know even more than I do. Yes, LSD is very active in small amounts. So are plenty of other chemicals and calling it unique because of that is incorrect.
Also, stomach acid does nothing to neutralize LSD in any meaningful way, please stop saying that.

Yeah this bozo has no clue what they’re talking about.
