LSD is one of the most famous drugs which comes in the category of research chemicals and also known as acid. If you are familiar with it then you have probably heard about the phrase "Set and Setting." This term was given by Norman Zinberg to describe this psychedelic drug and its effect. From then on, this has been highly expected by researchers in psychedelic therapy.

There are four S's used in context to this drug and those are Set, setting, Substance, and session. These four play a significant role in the effect of this drug.

In this article, we are going to discuss each S.

SET

This word is a short form of the word mindset during the trip. It is about the preparation of the mindset about the trip that acid is about to take you to. The results are unpredictable so you can not expect anything from it. That's why prepare your 'set' for it.

Before consuming, the user should make a couple of preparations.

First of all, the user should see the whole experience as a three-day experience and not just a one day trip. One the first day the user should be quiet and calm. Try to spend time alone to prepare yourself. On the second day, consume the drug and finally, on the third day, note down the experience you had.

SETTING

It is exactly what it sounds like, the setting of your surroundings in which you are about to take the trip which includes the physical environment. You have two options for the setting

• A comfortable room with a bed or anything comfortable.
• An outdoor setting you are familiar with.

SUBSTANCE

This is used for the amount of psychedelic you are taking.

This drug can also improve your productivity and creativity and for that you have to go for microdose which is 10-20ug of LSD, 0.1-0.2g dried psilocybin mushrooms.

In case you want to have a moderate entheogenic experience then an average dose would be fine which is 100-150ug of LSD, 1-1.5g dried psilocybin mushrooms.

To get a complete 'heroic dose' experience you can take 200-400ug of LSD which is 2-4g dried psilocybin mushrooms. We strictly don't recommend any dose which is higher than 400ug as that can cause mental instability.

SESSION

This term is used to describe the general time for the trip. The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide tells us that there are six stages of psychedelic session which are:

• Ingesting the Psychedelic
• Initial Onset
• Opening and Letting Go
• Plateau
• The Gentle Glide
• The End of the Formal Session

With the domination of the internet, the accessibility of LSD has become easier than ever before. Doesn't matter where you are from, you can even buy 1p-LSD in Australia just by clicking a few times.
