The following article was published in the mid-1960s as an attempt to provide an educated response to the increasing hysteria about LSD use in the popular media of the time. It proposes a model of responsible psychedelic use through an understanding of the experience itself, factors affecting the experience, and typical routes of misuse. An edited version follows, and a link to the original paper may be found at the end of the post. In recent months, both the lay and medical press have been filled with warnings about the dangers and harmful effects of the hallucinogenic agents such as LSD-25, mescaline and psilocybin. These warnings have risen in response to flagrant misuse of the substances by illicit operators using black-market materials for parties and “kicks,” and by irresponsible investigators who, enthralled with the remarkable possibilities of these chemicals, have sponsored and encouraged their widespread use under improperly controlled conditions without medical supervision.
The Esoteric Pharmacology Project is an attempt to facilitate dialogue and interchange of knowledge regarding stigmatized psychoactive drugs amongst all persons who are interested in the topic, whether their background is in academia, in the underground, or elsewhere. Our foremost, but not exclusive, focus is on psychedelic drugs, with a particular eye towards their sacramental, therapeutic, and introspective use. We recognize the immense complexity of the subject matter, particularly in the modern era with the massive proliferation of heretofore unknown materials that has taken place beginning in the latter half of the 20th century. We recognize that due to political and legal obstacles, as well as due to the sheer speed of developments, that the state of scientific knowledge in that arena has not kept pace with the development of the materials in question.

The Big & Dandy Non-LSD Ergoloids Blotter Thread
So far as blotter that's not really LSD, yes set and setting IS obviously a large factor, however, in reply to the absolutism being expressed by some, there is ample evidence that there ARE substances active at blotter doses that are NOT LSD, being sold as LSD on blotters, despite folks above telling you its all in your head. Thanks to SKL on esotericpharma.org... below is a direct copy of a few of his posts there, as well as the above journal article full PDFs... I asked him to repost it in one of the "fake acid?" threads here but he hasnt yet, so I'll spare him the trouble, since I am so tired of hearing the fact-free "all blotter is necessarily real LSD and any incorrect effects are all in your head" bullshit some people are obsessed with repeating over and over for reasons I won't attempt to psychoanalytically speculate about
