I never understood this...what other use is there for this other than loading it up with acid?
They sell this as if its a piece of fine art: "hand inspected to insure the highest quality...museum quality on the finest paper." Yes, because whenever I go to art galleries I always like to check out their collection of LSD Blotter art

hehe, i've wondered that myself...
Obviously they have to put a disclaimer in the item description stating that no drugs are present, but I wonder...
Anyone have any experience buying blotter on ebay that has a lil' extra?

Edit: Now that I think of it, it would be pretty stupid, considering that sale of LSD is considered manslaughter (am I correct about this or is this just a myth?)

Getting caught with that much acid would probably land you 40 years for possesion with intent to distribute.

I know this only because I watch Court TV.

Geez. I don't think LSD is around anymore, is it? Last I heard the DEA busted two of the major LSD labs, but this could just be a myth as well. Anywho, don't see much LSD around like you did in the early ninties. :?

Yeah, apparently these two guys were supplying about 95% of the world's acid and got busted either early this year or last year. LSD's dying, it would seem....

That's the thing. Because of " Mandatory Minimum " sentencing they would take into account the weight of the blotter paper not just the amount of LSD on it. Many non-violent and harmless trip dealers landed long prison sentences due to this.

Myself I haven't tripped in many, many years. I knew some cats who were reckless and do a 10 pack on a daily basis and now have some severely fucked up lives. I never did more than 2 hits at a time, usually in controlled circumstances and feel there have been no ill effects.

"But one thing I have heard is that after a certain dose you're legally considered insane if you commit a crime"

no, this is definitely one of those "urban legends".  So don't worry, hehe...  I haven't done acid in like 6 years, and probably wouldn't again. (maybe some mushrooms some time, but Im staying the hell away from the paper)  You see a lot of blotter art on ebay, some of it good but most of it not.  Some of Geigers designs and even some of Koziks are pretty cool when committed to blotter paper, but when someone (illegally)puts the old Melvins website logo on there, that seems below the line of good taste...

Yeah, the damn things grow wild in cow pastures out where I live. Used to go cruise the fields back in high school and eat them as we walked along. Psilocybe semilanceata. (Liberty Cap).

Can't you just go get some? Is it THAT hard to find these days? It used to be all over back in the late 80's. I don't know.

Good acid is that hard to find, it's now just easier to get those more crazy drugs like smack and crank. Good job DEA.

Blotter can be cool to look at, but it's not something you use as art, but the pictures on blotter seem always to be cooler than most poster sold in stores.
