After /u/thiefintheshadow posted a review accusing DrEarnhardt of selling him fake LSD, DrEarnhardt offered to send out free samples to the first ten people that contacted him in return for a review. I am one of those few.
Shipping took 6 days from NL to Canada, which is impressive. (Less than half the time it took HoS LSD to ship.)
The stealth was simple, but LSD is one of the harder drugs to screw up with shipping so not a big deal. I am more concerned with the potential loss of potency from the way he ships it.
Unfortunately, I don't have an Ehrlich test yet but decided to see what happens when I use a Marquis test:
DrEarnhardt LSD Marquis Reagent Results
HouseofSpirit LSD Marquis Reagent Results
Neither turned to Olive Black like it should, most likely because of the blotter paper. I would say results are inconclusive.
The Dr was generous enough to send me three hits. The blotter was bigger in size and thickness but in line with what I've heard about LSD from the EU. About 1cm x 1 cm and just slightly thicker than HoS' 0.7mm x 0.7mm blotters.
On Oct. 10th, I took two hits of HoS 100ug. Blotters were tasteless and dissolved slightly after holding under the tongue for 30 minutes. OEVs were strong and headspace was insane. Trip lasted about 11 hours.
On Oct. 12th, I took two hits of Dr 130ug. Blotters were incredibly bitter and I was tempted to swallow them early. They also didn't disintegrate at all in the 45 minutes I left them in my mouth. I suspect the bitterness comes from the blotter paper itself, and not the LSD. There was no numbness that one would expect from nbomes. Trip was entirely different from the previous one. Granted, there should definitely be tolerance buildup, but it didn't feel like the usual LSD trips I have become accustomed to. The trip felt a bit like being drunk. Rather than the usual headspace and introspection, I felt more groggy and lethargic. Still had an enjoyable trip though, lasting about 9 hours.
On Oct. 14th, I took another two hits of HoS 100ug. Had a similar trip to the one on Oct. 10th, with very strong headspace. Trip lasted about 11 hours.
On Oct. 17th (yesterday), I took the last hit of Dr 130ug. It was similar to the first Dr trip (albeit weaker), with no headspace. Trip lasted about 9 hours.
After my experiences in the past week or so, I have some thoughts:
It was strange to me that my trip on Oct. 14th was stronger then my trip on Oct. 12th. I know HoS overdoses her lays, but definitely not more than 130ug. This would suggest that the Dr's LSD is not as potent as advertised. (Possibly due to the way he ships it)
If the popular adage that "LSD is LSD" is correct, why were my trips so completely different between HoS and Dr? I would go as far as saying they had the opposite effects on me. I always have a tough time falling asleep on HoS LSD, whereas I have no such problems with Dr LSD. One is more like an upper, the other is more like a downer.
There doesn't seem to be any cross-tolerance buildup between HoS and Dr LSD. Again, it goes against the adage of "LSD is LSD".
DrEarnhardt seems like a pretty standup vendor, someone I would do business with. I do believe what he sent me was LSD, which would lead me to conclude that it's not as simple as "LSD is LSD". I have tried to present my experiences with as little bias as possible, so draw your own conclusions.
You need to look up a little known concept in the field of pharmacology known as "tolerance."
Seriously though, it takes two weeks for LSD tolerance to return to baseline. What a waste of tabs. I do appreciate your attempt at being helpful though. It's just sad how much effort you put into providing us such utterly useless data.
