I just got done experiencing part 3 of the 'Infinite Mind' saga. Now there's enough juice for a self-contained story. I'd like to compile everything and present it in the proper manner, within the week. That might provide some useful frames of reference to people, and particularly to you re: what's to expect from the LSD I shared.

We can do it by 30 unless we seriously slack off, with so much of the groundwork already laid out. That's my vision anyhow. Tag, you're it.

Thanks guys. I'm currently ordering a new fumarate batch from Canada, looks promising. Till then with the little bit remaining I'll work up to 6mg in 3 increments.

My first experience with the substance, and perhaps the first report on its use intramuscularly: Firstly, a bit of context: I've been away from spirituality the past 3 months, actively avoiding it and getting into trouble in various ways, for interesting reasons I'll share elsewhere; until finally last week a sudden tectonic shift in consciousness occured, which rendered running away from God untenable. Still, coming back, particularly to psychedelics, was scary, and I backed out several times. But ultimately one way or another fear had to be overcome with love. IM'd 3.5mg, starting moderately to be safe – good call, this kiddie dose turned out to be a major experience. Some 'objective' data: the onset is within 3-4 minutes, then comeup is another 5-7, characterized by elevated HR and several potentially psychosomatic effects such as a feeling of hunger reminiscent of being sick to your stomach. After this initial discomfort, which mustn't be resisted, it settles into a very stable and smooth experience, as though this is your new baseline level of consciousness. The peak lasts around 30 minutes, after which it starts gradually and subtly dissipating until ceasing after ~90 minutes in total. Compared to 5-MeO-DMT, which doesn't work on me in the same way it does on most, I would call MALT much more consciousness oriented, whereas 5MD is yogic, energetic, somatic, etc., which actually makes it unique among all the substances, it operates on Being in a very distinct yet important way separate from mind. I imagine at breakthrough levels 5MD would white me out and result in more of a No-Self/Nothingness experiences rather than Infinite Consciousness. Also 5MD carries a heavier body load and is occasionally sore at the injection site, something I've only noticed with Ketamine, this is independent of causticity, another factor is at play. I'm staring at the homescreen on my tablet, first the Gmail icon, when suddenly my mind connects with all the email accounts I ever had, how I created them, all the messages contained within. Then it's the audiobook player app, I cognize all the files, their encoder/container, size in bytes on disk, the methods by which they were decrypted, holding the entire encryption 'space' – RSA, AES, EC... and of course the contents of the books, the life stories of their authors and narrators. Next is the to-do widget, with items written in Russian. Through those Cyrillic characters I take a quick dip into compsci again by blazing through UTF-8 and then there's the entire history of Russia like an open book. Mind is a compression algorithm of infinite potency, the whole of reality is readily available exactly where you are, only a change of state is required to start unzipping it. Small caveat, even though I describe it all sequentially, it's not really structured that way, some parts are retroactively added and expanded by simply recalling them at a later point, because in those states time is simply irrelevant, it hardly matters whether to pull from the present, distant memories, or several months into the future. This has become something of theme in my deepest psychedelic voyages and it'd say it's an important step towards jailbreaking the mind. My focus shifts to Love, I begin with feeling the affection of my mother's genuine concern in my heart, then quickly expand outwards until it's crystal clear that the exact same feeling underpins every act of hate and violence currently happening in the world. More obvious than that we're on planet Earth! In fact, are we? I turn my gaze towards the window in which the reflections of the headlights of the cars driving down in the street can be seen, and enter a state of not-knowing. I remove the notion of cars, only the mystery and beauty of the multicolored lights flashing before my eyes remain. After that, several minutes are spent admiring my hand, or more precisely the intelligence that animates its motion and sensations, with all the infinite background that appears to enable this. I take a moment to appreciate how science, utilized correctly, enhances spirituality immensely. Metabolism, optics, 4 fundamental forces, matrices, calcium ion channels, topology, polarity, measurement, engineering, the list goes on. It's quite amazing to look at a computer in such a state where you can fuse all the understanding that powers what a computer is, from how the kernel is written to the way our eyes perceive luma and chroma. In the same way, tripping on a psychedelic becomes something else when you study the neuropharmacology and chemistry behind it. And yet the mystery doesn't go away, in fact it only deepens. I briefly held the ambition of fully grasping and articulating just how these substances raise consciousness to infinity and then without fail modulate it back down, irrespective of how beyond brains and time you go, before quickly realizing that even if I manage to get all that, to explain it I'd have to explain all of reality with infinite context, which is by definition impossible. Though Truth can bypass this limitation by having insight into itself directly, Nothingness is fundamental to that. Finished off with a fascinating experience of endlessly zooming into the wood planks that make up my floor, while simultaneously observing myself doing that from a bird's eye view of sorts, as though an eye looking into a microscope so far it loops back to seeing itself from above. So this was a nice first glance back into the realm of God-consciousness and this chemical in particular, which I now consider some of the very best available, of those I've sampled thus far. P.S.: I have really strong opinions regarding the IM route, to me it's patently clear at this point that the other methods are just barbaric and inefficient in comparison. Yes, you can raise valid concerns about purity and sterility, but all that is solvable with some effort. There's a reason IM & IV are used in hospitals. I distinctly remember having to deconstruct the massive stigma surrounding it, I too used to think this is pathetic junkie stuff, and stepping over it was quite uncomfortable, but I'm so happy to have been wrong on this issue. So I highly encourage to keep an open mind. Part of the reason hardly anyone is reaching levels of consciousness Leo talks about is wrong route, his abnormal sensitivity offsets that, but it won't for a regular person. Just look at Shulgin's notes and dosages with 5-MeO-DMT vaporized vs. IV. It's regrettable seeing people plugging 20mg and getting nowhere near where I, insensitive as a rock, manage to with a dose you can't even measure with your ridiculous scoops.

It's an uncertain matter. You can somewhat generalize by receptor types targeted, i.e. if one's less/more sensitive to a serotonergic like DMT/LSD, a similar situation can be expected across the others. But there's always potential exceptions lurking around. Some substances past a certain point mutate their dose response curve from linear-ish to almost exponential. Nominal potency is hardly the decisive factor. A person may be regular with serotonergics, super sensitive to GABA, and barely receptive to NMDA for instance. I can eat a strip of LSD and be fine, but baby doses of any opioid or cannabinoid make me awfully sick. If in doubt, assume increased sensitivity and start lower. Far be it from me to preach safety practices, but that's the wisest way to go about it.

Using scoops has to be the worst advice Leo has ever given. This could harm somebody. Aside from the obvious inconsistencies in technique, even with uniformly finely ground powder it will not be fully accurate. On a few occasions I've overestimated the dosage by nearly double with scoops; negligence, yes, but the method itself is just faulty. Both are 1g DMT. Nuff said. And that's not even considering other factors that affect volume further, like vacuum distillation. Such a range within just one compound, now imagine across multiple. The correct way is volumetric dosing. Starting from 100mg, which scales can measure accurately, dissolve the substance in an appropriate amount of solution to achieve desired concentration, e.g. 100mg in 10ml for 10mg/ml. Store in a glass vial in refrigerator. To boof 5mg, you'd draw 0.5ml in a syringe, and so on. Compounds will be stable almost indefinitely in aqueous solution using distilled/saline water. Also saves a bunch of time on preparation for subsequent uses. For some stubborn salts apply a little heat to the vial to achieve full dissolution. I've seen several instances of people leaving a chunk of the chem in the syringe cause it just won't dissolve through any amount of stirring, giving a mistaken impression of how much they took. It is a similar principle for freebase, but with e-liquid for vape pen or tank, some amount of DMT in whatever ratio PG/VG that works for you, find some presets or experiment. Added benefit of conveniently and safely doing continuous puffs without need to reload pipe. @Davino can advise on all that. Virtually everything pharmaceutical from nasal sprays to creams to IV ampoules uses concentration, typically W/V or W/W. They sure don't use Chinese plastic scoops.

Generally. You ask too many basic questions man, there's no need for me, this information is readily available. Read the reports and make conclusions, or test on yourself.

No, at least 15% lower based on MW, plus whatever metabolic differences. AL-LAD is eye candy with a weak headspace.

Nothing comes close to the original, provided it is highly pure and accurately dosed, which most of it is not. You want 98.5% purity and above, with as little Iso-LSD as possible. Look into DS-3.0 if interested, but it is nontrivial to obtain. The 1x- are all prodrugs. The more recent like 1V or 1S are weaker, they're simply running out of legal tweak options. 1P/1D is fine. Other lysergamides are either weak or duds, ETH-LAD is cool though.

Depends highly on the workload demands of your degree, extracurriculars, other career-related things you do. There's no need to go all in with psychedelics if it's not feasible at this stage, even if you're very busy it should be quite simple to set aside a weekend once a month or so for a serious, productive trip. That will be plenty, you'll still grow a lot. And contemplation/introspection you can do anywhere, anytime. I contemplate while cooking, on the toilet, on the bus, in bed before sleep... basically every waking moment that's not high-focus chores or distracting myself with entertainment. With such a structure you'll actually harvest much more of the trip during the integration break before jumping to the next one.

I've been lucky to not need a job, yet. When I need to set up something serious in my life, I grind at it tirelessly till completion, then coast off the results for many months; normal but consistent schedule is hell for me. I'm also still in university, which I don't dedicate a lot of attention to, leaving plenty of free time. Being low-maintenance helps too, I live comfortably on less than 1k a month with ease, only travel is missing of the things I care about. Lastly, I seem to have some uncommon genetic advantages for this work, like fluidity of mind of a schizophrenic, risk tolerance of a psychopath, fixation on a special interest of an autist, etc. all working together in harmony, highly functionally, with only minor side effects. Save for one special occasion I've never been destabilized by mystical experiences; I've had psychotic episodes on bad trips, slept it off and back to business as usual. Realizing my mom is imaginary didn't complicate calling and talking to her the next day one bit. Call it natural detachment. In the next couple years I'll probably need to focus on the material more, so it's a good thing I did a lot of this work seriously while young. There's downsides too, like loss of ambition, but otherwise overwhelmingly positive. Having to undo all the biases, beliefs, attachments, etc. gets exponentially harder with age. Plus I now have the tools to avoid most corruption, traps, and such. A solid foundation to build something upon. Without finding God I'd have been lost/depressed/drug addicted/dead by this point.

No, I was doing no spirituality before psychedelics. All I had was a persistent sense that there's more to reality than everyone seems to see and dreams that accurately showed the future. There were no intentions besides curiosity, thanks to an internet friend who was into mushrooms. On the first trip I experienced God and here we are. I've always done independent thinking, but because I lacked consciousness of infinite intelligence and such things, I assumed I wouldn't get far with just my human mind. Naturally everything then shifted and had to be reconsidered from the ground up. I'm regularly finding new aspects to things I thought I already grasped entirely and some that I was totally wrong about, with an ever increasing complexity.

Haven't kept count, definitely over 100 considering I've tried 60-ish substances. But fewer than 200. Only about 10-15% are truly groundbreaking however. Now I do it far less frequently but almost every new experience is next level.

You'll develop a sense for it. Health, logistical considerations, and such are factors, but secondary. It is a feeling that now's not the right time. I haven't tripped in nearly 3 months, unusually long for me. There has been a primal instinct beyond any reason that right now I don't want or need to see what God will show me. Several times I was about to inject myself and withdrew at the last second. This shit is so tricky, supposedly I pursue understanding no matter the cost, so such a situation can generate doubt and self-gaslighting. Gotta remember it's a long game, a timely strategic retreat is the wisest move. Then again some instances require ignoring every alarm bell and flooring the gas, no reverse gear. Right-o, in fact make it a priority. Get to the bottom of why you're on this path in the first place, without a concrete answer you won't be able to endure its hardest moments. Perfectly self-consistent logical chains can come from just thinking through it, i.e. interconnecting Truth, Love, Nothingness, Goodness, Will, Infinity. Huge advantages on a practical level too.

This is fine. But you need to deeply internalize that Truth is the highest value. Not based on Leo's video, but very clearly and immutably within your own mind. Then intuitive recognizance of your wrongness will eventually overwhelm whatever perceived benefits you get from self-deceptions, prompting change from genuine not-knowing. Will be very painful regardless though. Anyhoo there's too much to expand on this, but you get the idea. No need to stop entirely, just that extended breaks will occasionally be required.
