no
it depends on the concentration of the solution. you could put a drop from a very dilute solution on one blotter, and a drop of very concentrated tartrate salt solution on another...you'll obviously taste the latter

But you would suspect they use stoichiometric amounts of salt in lsd synthesis so that you have no excess tartaric acid in the solution.. So if you are consuming one dose which has 100ug of LSD, it would be the same taste of another blotter with equivalent amount, considering both have no tartaric acid excess, no?

you gotta realize... a lot of these "families" out there are not chemists. they follow traditional recipes.even if it were stoichiometric from batch to batch, the dilution factors may be different. I suspect some of the taste differences are due to autooxidation from exposure to air. again, this is partially tartaric acid (in most formulations), which is a naturally-occuring component of wine. it does get bitter after exposure to air

i've also tasted differences, and i suspect its from different formulations (maleic vs tartaric), not RCs. i exposed blotters to 365 nm light, lsd gives off that characteristic baby blue glow, even on printed blotters

I've never tasted it on white on white so I always thought it was the ink

I've tasted the metallic taste on white-on-white, and had white-on-whites that didn't have the taste...also had some "Maya" prints with a strong bitter taste, not the metallic taste, but which packed a lysergic punch and field-tested positive for LSD.



I just posted that tuna quote because I happened to be browsing another website at the same time this article was open in another tab, and found the resemblance between the tuna/acid metallic taste worthy of a paste-post.

The strongest perforated blotters I have taken were called hoffmans and had no taste on them whatsoever, and I wouldnt be able to tell the difference from a normal peice of paper compared to the tab. I have also tried tabs with some taste on them also.

My guess has always been that the taste has to be from:

1)chemical binders that are used to preserve/secure the LSD to the paper, was made with intent of long term storage
2)the taste of any excess acid(e.g. tartaric acid) that was used to make the LSD salt.
3)possibly any various oxidation products

But generally the best tabs I have had have been without taste.

I rarely get any flavor, but definitely can taste the LSD, but it's more like an electric feeling that shoots through my body. Have tested and confirmed that it was good, by a quick taste. I am a good taste tester, in other words. Can definitely tell a difference between LSD and an RC.

I think it'd be interesting for someone to eat a blank blotter and see if they don't taste something, of course they couldn't know it was blank... as that would defeat the purpose.

Maybe a lot of the 'taste' is just the taste of paper.....
