17 Most Trippy Underground Designs to Ever be Printed on LSD
The creation of blotter has become an underground art form leading to an array of creative and stunning designs.
Varying psychedelic designs are printed out on LSD blotter paper, which is “[a sheet] of paper which [is] soaked into an LSD solution, dried, and perforated into small squares of individual dosage units” (wikipedia) of the drug. The paper is concentrated into sections around ¼ inch by ¼ inch. LSD blotters, or as more commonly known “hits,” are just another way for underground artists to express themselves. As you can see by these examples, they sure did.
Side effects of using the drug are extensive and can be found
here. Stay away from this toxic chemical, but do enjoy the art printed on it!
Here are some examples of blotters showing various designs and art works. Some are entire sheets, while others are only a few strips.

Trips:
If you decide to actually use LSD, you need to be aware of the consequences. Using this chemical substance will result in depression, agitation, and confusion. To help comfort someone that makes the terrible decision to use this drug, remind him or her that this will end shortly, and that they are not losing their minds. Consistently reassure the tripper that they are indeed okay.

Why risk a “bad trip” or a blown out mind? Just avoid the stuff and get on with your life. There is life to live and fun to be had but not if you destroy your mind. Why take a chance for a moment in time?
LSD is VERY dangerous, yes, I agree with that, but only if abused from or taken frequently and in high doses. Mention one thing that is not dangerous if taken in high doses.
Some of the literal masterpieces were written under drug influence. Take Sherlock Holmes, it was all written under the influence of cocaine, and Alice in Wonderland. AiW is just a book (and a movie) that teaches about the experience of LSD or tripping.
I have never tried cocaine (and I am hoping I will never do) so I don’t know if it is supposed to boost creativity or not. But I can certainly tell you, that LSD will make you a new person (again, if taken moderately and rarely) When I was under the influence I was able to write or paint things that I would have never written or painting in my ‘normal’ state.
Now, on to ‘bad trips’, what causes them? The first thing you should do is to avoid your idiotic friends and immature people. For example, my first experience was when we went to eat at Mc.D and my friend said that I had worms coming out of my burger and I was actually seeing worms, and only God knows how much I hate them. The second thing to avoid is going to dangerous places, for example cliffs or busy streets, because that is when you start thinking that you are Superman. The best way to trip is when you are alone in your room, with your mind empty (that is not thinking any negative thoughts or being sad) and before you trip prepare what you want to do. For example I always prepare a fresh empty canvas and colors so that when the effect kicks in, my mind will be ready to do what it is supposed to do. Alcohol and smoking should be avoided ALL the time, especially when tripping. Yes, funnily enough I am all against alcohol and smoking.
People seem to not give any attention to those life ruining substances. Did you guys know that alcohol is the worst form of drugs? And what about smoking? It is so addictive that you can’t go for an hour without smoking and you become the most impatient person ever when you have to go for a long time with no smoking. Taking the occasional trip is far more safe and less body damaging (if you are careful to not over do it)
And by having said that, I am not trying to make people go out and buy LSD and try it. I am discouraging any use of drugs…I am just giving out my opinion, so if you don’t agree please be a civilized human and show that you don’t agree in a civilized manner, with no flaming.
Thanks for enlightening me to the new teen-friendly pictures on blotter. I’ll be sure to watch my kids’ pockets; drugs have changed a lot since my teens. I’ll be happy to send this link to other parents of teens who may be unaware.
I’m just a little concerned that some youth reading Ronald’s comment might be convinced that the harm in taking LSD is minimal under controlled circumstances. It is not. Ronald seems quite eloquent in his discourse, and seems not to have been harmed by his experimentation with acid, however this is not always the case.
Perhaps Ronald has, in fact, produced some worthwhile literature while tripping, and I hope he publishes and lets us know which of his works can be attributed to LSD. I have typed a few “books” for former quite intelligent friends who were high on acid while creating, and therefore I feel comfortable saying that much LSD-inspired writing is completely unintelligible. I don’t want the teens or young adults reading this comment to mistakenly believe that inspiration for their school paper will come from acid ingestion.
If you are 18 or 21 in some countries, PLEASE skip this message and go read something else, that is more worth it. Or if you are rebel type and want to read it, then go ahead on your own risk.
F.Halbert, I completely understand your fear, and as ironic as it may sound, I don’t want my children to take any form of drug, including alcohol and cigarettes.
But to go on course ago, I don’t write under acid, I paint, both oil and canvas or digital. I was going to post some links to my work but then someone might come on and say that I am just advertising myself. So I will just not do it.
And at the end of my message, I made it very clear that I am DISCOURAGING the use of any type of drug. Just because I take it does not mean I am doing the right thing. But then again, I’d rather have my child take the occasional trip (and letting me know)then going out every night and comes back home drunk. I have emphasized my hate on alcohol so I don’t need to go back into subject. But, yes, as I said before, I wish (yeah I said I wish, because children grow and we will no longer have control on them. We just teach them the bad things and the good things and then it is up to them) that my children will never touch anything. So far they are abiding by the rules…
One last thing, I think I made it clear that LSD only produces creativity, not miracles. So I don’t know how it is possible to write a school paper under the influence. A school paper requires research, thinking and rationality. With LSD I am afraid that none of those three are possible (ok maybe just a little)
Again, I AM DISCOURAGING ANY FORM OF DRUG USE.
I am sorry for the double post but I forgot to add something.
Dr. Timothy Bleary…you might ask who is he? He was one of the best gastroenterology doctors in the 1960’s. Among his many contributions to the field were diagnostic imaging technologies that allowed physicians, with minimally invasive procedures, to identify intestinal ailments with amazing accuracy. Patients would line up around the block to secure a coveted appointment with the good doctor, knowing that he could figure out what afflicted them, effecting a cure while other gastroenterologists could only scratch their heads in puzzlement.
Amazingly, it was under the influence of LSD that Bleary invented his greatest diagnostic tool.
Of course you’ve heard of it: the Colitis-Scope.
(Wikipedia, 2008)
“When I was under the influence I was able to write or paint things that I would have never written or painting in my ‘normal’ state. Your 4/21 post did mention writing.
The Timothy Bleary item is cute, but I sincerely hope you realize it is a joke! The colonoscope or coloscope had absolutely nothing to do with Dr. Timothy Leary, the 1960s guru who was a psychologist, teacher, and advocate of LSD use and research.
I agree with Ronald.
F.Halbert you got me in the writing and painting one. What was I thinking when I wrote that? No don’t blame LSD haha (yeah, bad joke)
I don’t know if Dr.Bleary really invented the colonoscope or not, but I will be disappointed if you had to post a link or a reference to show that it was a joke. I truly believed he was the one who invented it.
F.Harlbert do you mind me asking you a rather personal question? Do you by any chance smoke or drink?
And, Dani thank you
I Agree with F. Halbert you stoner no-life pothead.
Get a life and gtfo wiki. NUB!
I have had real LSD, My experience was life and spirit changing. I was happiest I had ever been in my life for a month after wards. It allowed me to see how some others can live their day to day lives with a their perception of reality. It cured my stutter and general impatience I used to have. To anyone with an open-mind, I would highly recommend.
Did you know the person who discovered DNA was on LSD?
Not To mention the fact that you can put like 10 different hallucinogens on blotter and call it lsd, hell you can put poison on blotter.
Actually Oath, that’s not true. An average dose of LSD is a couple hundred micrograms, and there’s not enough space on even a ten strip of blotter paper to fit enough of any harmful chemical to actually cause damage to someone. There are also very few (if any) other hallucinogenic drugs that are active at such small quantities. One was a drug called DOB which, since a few decades ago, become unbelievably unpopular and rare. Essentially, if you buy LSD blotter on the street, it’s either LSD or it’s blank paper. Your poison comment probably referred to the common myth that strychnine is a byproduct of LSD synthesis (which it is not) or the one that dealers poison blotter with strychnine. Of all the samples of LSD ever confiscated, none were found to contain strychnine, and again, it’s not actively harmful at that dosage level.
Ronald, while I agree with you that LSD usage is safe under the right circumstances and for those experienced enough to know what they’re doing, you have a couple of factual errors. Alice in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carrol, had nothing to do with LSD. In fact, it was written in 1865, long before the first synthesis of LSD by Albert Hoffmann (circa 1940s). There is a reference to mushrooms…however Carrol was not known as a drug user, and the majority of “trippy” attributes of the Alice books were seen by most as a commentary on England’s severe opium problem at the time of its publication.
The ultimate reality of LSD use is this: LSD and other entheogenic substances are to be regarded as sacraments, not drugs. Since the dawn of existence, ancient civilizations have used psychedelic plants in rituals and for recreation (there are various cannibas consumption references in the Christian Bible, the Mayans among others used psilocybin Mushrooms, and various tribes across the world today use DMT - usually consumed ritually in a brew called Ayahuasca). Granted, LSD is a synthetic substance. However, it is widely recognized to produce some if not all of the religious experiences/mindsets of other natural psychedelics.
Having said all that, it would be irresponsible for anyone to give any mind altering substance to someone underage, or to suggest that they should use them, because ingestion of virtually anything foreign could disrupt or alter the development of the mind (until it stops developing naturally around the age of 20).
Like I said, LSD should be seen as a sacrament: a chemical means for those seeking enlightenment to do so, or merely a radical perspective shift for those who seek one. It is a powerful drug, but unless you are predisposed to a mental condition or are naturally high in anxiety, it is one of the safest drugs known to man, far moreso than the majority of over the counter medications and FAR FAR moreso than alcohol or tobacco.
The potential benefits of LSD use are limitless. In the 50s, before it was outlawed, clinical trials proved that LSD may be a viable cure for everything from acute psychosis to alcoholism (suggested read: DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman). However, once it was released to the masses, obviously there were people who were taking it who should not have been, and the few accidents that resulted (out of the millions of trips taken) were cause enough to make it illegal.
Every negative popular myth about LSD is false. No one took so much acid that they thought they were a glass of orange juice. Every city in the US has someone who swears they know THE GUY who did that. LSD will not harm you physically, and mentally the only risks are to those with disorders to begin with. Various influential figures in history have taken LSD to enhance both their lives and the lives around them, including Steve Jobs (founder of Apple) who cites it as one of the three most important things he has done in his life time. Crick (already mentioned) discovered the double-helix formation of DNA while on LSD, a revelation that has led to countless other discoveries on how our body chemistry works.
Entheogens in general are seen as pathways between our world and a more spiritually conscious reality, and they should always be treated with the utmost respect. The problem comes when such drugs are put in the hands of people looking for just a “good time”, or those who want to see pretty colors. LSD is less harmful than aspirin.
Jesus chill out guys. LSD is harmless if youre of sound mind and sensible about it.
If you dont want to do it, then thats your own decision. It can be a wonderful experience though.
Cheers. xx
where can i get lsd. if anyone knows please post it
you have to know for sure that you YOURSELF can handle a trip. if you have any doubt in your mind, dont do it!
but to sane ,stable people. i would definitely recommend doing acid at least once. you only live once. I think it is amazing to have that kind of pleasure and visuals from a drug. some of the best experiences of my life have been on either lsd or mdma.
Acid is very best ya know want now
if danger close eyes be over soon…
Way too many conservative parents on this site… You get one life to live and all you want to do is sit around and tell your kids to work for some measly green textile called dollars in order to be happy (that or praise Jesus, which is even more sad). Albert Hoffman used LSD his entire life after having synthesized it the second time. He also lived to be 102. He was an incredibly smart chemist and knew a lot more than the majority of you overprotective parents. Why be so afraid of having an open mind? Anything in excess is bad, including LSD (and alcohol, sex, or ANYTHING ELSE).
Ok, way too many close-minded people here. An LSD trip is a wonderful thing to experience. Once you’ve done it, life isn’t really the same. I’ve seen things in a whole new perspective. You’re mind needs to be completely open to do it, and you must have no anxiety or negativity. It’s just something that can change your whole life. It’s the reason I’m in love.
Yeah, what’s the point in arguing about LSD? Just because one person has an opinion that it’s a terrible thing doesn’t mean that’s true for everyone else in the world. I have a hit sitting right onfront of me. I’ve taken LSD before, it helps me with my anxiety and my depression. Psychodelics are one of the few things in our world that can make you look at life from a different perspective. And yes, if you are healthy mentally and don’t risk becoming schitzophrenic, I encourage the use of LSD atleast once in your life. A bad trip may lead to some consequences but if you experience a good trip, it’s the best 10 hours of your life. Ronald, I completely agree with you about Alcohol and Tobacco use being the worst drugs for you. And guess what, I’m addicted to nicotine and I drink occassionally. And personally, I’d rather have a child who smokes marijuana or takes the occassional trip, than have a child who’s an alcoholic. LSD is an amazing substance, and unless you’ve tripped on it, you shouldn’t be giving your opinion. But, you have to remember it’s your opinions, not fact.
I like listening to Phish on LSD 25. *Fluff*head..that’s a good one. I agree with both the extra sensory perceptions of Ronald and Rubi and Brian and must confess that I only smoke and drink coffee for now, I tripped on LSD 25, and was quite young. I was 16 my first time. I never really liked Phish or the Grateful Dead for that matter, and found this to be because I was not retaining information using ALL of my senses while listening to this “endless” jamming. Now I have found they don’t jam it out enough. Therefore, I wasn’t truly listening. You ever here of someone saying “Phish sucks, or I don’t like Phish”, is because they just never really listened to them. That goes with anything for that matter. Doesn’t make it true or right.
In response to bad trips; It probably means there’s something wrong with you. I’ve found the Grateful Dead was always able to bring me WAY far out there and always manage to bring me “back home”.
And in regards to any responses. Patience, acceptance and tolerance. Can you think of a situation that these principles would not bring you through if you were to practice them in all of your affairs?
LSD 25, MDMA, DMT. All of these sacraments have greatly influenced our everyday popular culture. Even car commercials wouldn’t be as cool if it were not for this.
I cannot explain any of it. It’s just my thoughts. It is neat how we can actualy *see* *think* *hear* *touch* *smell* *play* *and sing* on how we actually connect with our fellows/surroundings.
Love&Light
-All throughout I gaze and glimpse you
