Triptherapy: Is LSD suitable for psychedelic therapy or microdosing?

The action of LSD

The effect of LSD is very similar to the effect of other psychedelics such as magic mushrooms, DMT, ayahuasca, etc. The mind-altering effects are largely due to the stimulation of the 5HT2a receptors in the brain. (frontal lobe of the brain), which is in fact stimulated by all psychedelics.

The 5HT2a receptors are the red circles

To better understand how LSD works, you can read this youtube video to look at.

LSD is more potent than other psychedelics

LSD can bind itself to the 5HT2a receptors much better than any other known psychedelic. It seems as if LSD sticks and screws to the receptor, which often makes an LSD trip last a very long time. An LSD trip can last between 8 and 24 hours, while other psychedelics such as magic mushrooms generate a trip of between 3 and 5 hours.

The Disadvantages of LSD

The potency of LSD is also its biggest drawback. It seems that of all psychedelics, LSD has the highest risk of psychosis. In my opinion, this is mainly because the trip can last so long that eventually the line between what is real and “fake” starts to blur. What then is an illusion and what illusion is an illusion within an illusion? Another can realize during a trip that the life we know is probably also a hallucination. Ultimately, the world we see is a representation of what we believe we see.

Other disadvantages can be:

  • The trip turns out to be more intense than you had anticipated.
  • Bath trip (anxiety, panic, restlessness).
  • Psychiatric illnesses (depression, psychosis) can worsen or last longer.
  • Injury from getting into a dangerous, or awkward, situation.
  • In people with a psychiatric illness such as depression or psychosis, LSD exacerbates the condition.
  • Slumbering depressions and psychoses can surface and cause long-term misery. Medical treatment is then required.
  • If you have a disease and / or use medication, the use of LSD is not recommended. It can have dangerous or very unpleasant consequences. Some types of antidepressant drugs (tricyclics) lead to an LSD overdose.
  • There are reports of users suffering from long-term vision abnormalities (HPPD). They see very disturbing deviations in color, shape, movement, contrast and so on.

IS LSD suitable for microdosing?

Due to the long effect of LSD, micro dosing is certainly possible. Measuring the exact dose is difficult because LSD is so powerful. It's about micrograms of LSD. That is a factor of 1000 less than milligrams. Another point of attention is sleep. If you fall asleep less easily, LSD is probably active for too long and you should dose lower.

Another question is whether you want to micro-dose. In case of fighting depression, burnout, anxiety, etc., a micro dose is just a medicine that suppresses symptoms. Suppose a bad lifestyle causes depression (can be caused by nutrition). If you no longer feel the depression due to the LSD, you will still continue to eat/live badly and you will actually continue to destroy your body. So, even if you do start microdosing, try to find out where you can improve.

Is LSD suitable for psychedelic therapy?

LSD can be suitable for psychedelic therapy, but it has a very raw edge that is not or less bothersome if you use psilocybin as a drug, for example. LSD is therefore not the best choice when it comes to a therapeutic psychedelic tripping agent. I do think that a micro dose to small dose of LSD in combination with a higher dose of shrooms, magic truffles or psilocybin can make a positive contribution to the therapeutic effect of trip therapy.

What do other users say?

We ourselves see the most potential in psilocybin. Below is an image where other users were asked what they think of LSD and psilocybin.

Do you want the best form of psychedelic therapy?

We believe that psychedelic therapy works much better when all neurotransmitters and hormones are balanced. During registration for trip therapy, we can already see where potential bottlenecks in well-being are via a neurotransmitter test. Your health is about more than just taking a psychedelic trip. We believe that we offer the best form of psychedelic therapy because we look beyond just the mental complaints. The body works with the mind and the mind with the body.

We therefore do everything we can to address all facets of existence and that is why we also advise our customers on basic nutrition, exercise and supplements. The whole approach for body and mind ensures the best results in the short and long term. We usually use a schedule for most customers that looks like this:

  1. Registration, neurotransmitter test and intake
  2. Advice on nutrition, exercise and supplements based on point 1
  3. Watch a 2-3 week progression from point 2
  4. An individual psychedelic ceremony (unless a group has additional utility or preference)
  5. Debriefing of the truffle ceremony on the same day
  6. Contact again after about 1-2 weeks
