What is 1cP-AL-LAD?

1cP-AL-LAD is a research chemical of the lysergamide group. As far as the effects, this psychedelic is virtually identical to normal AL-LAD and similar to LSD. Compared to LSD, 1cP-AL-LAD usually feels gentler and the effects are more visual. This makes the drug less effective for shadow work and healing trauma but amazing for contemplating human problems and deriving existential insights.

How to take 1cP-AL-LAD

Administration

Most 1cP-AL-LAD comes on blotters but you can also find it in gummy bears or in a liquid form. Either way, you can either swallow the substance or let it dissolve on your tongue.

Always test your blotter with a Marquis Reagent Testing Kit because 25I-NBOMe can be sold as 1cP-AL-LAD and it can be extremely dangerous even in a tiny amount. If the blotter turns brown when tested, that means the blotter contains some form of NBOMe or NBOH and you should trash it.

If you are not willing to test the substance, swallow it without letting it stay on your tongue. If you do so, NBOMe and NBOH drugs should not affect you to nearly the same extent because they do not absorb well in the stomach while most lysergamides do.

If you stick the tab under your tongue, the drug will dissolve a little faster and it will take slightly less time to notice the effects. This is especially the case if you eat food before your trip.

Dosage

20 µg = Threshold
You may notice mild effects with no visuals or body sensations. This dose can be used for microdosing.
50-100 µg = Light dose
A great dose for beginner psychonauts
100-225 µg = Regular dose
The insights you’ll learn are usually easier to retain and incorporate than if you were to take higher doses
225-350 µg = Strong dose
This dose can already challenge your beliefs and show you material from your subconscious mind, just like LSD.
350-700 µg = High dose
The visuals are extremely intense. This dose can already be challenging but usually not as challenging as a high dose of LSD or mushrooms would be.
700+ µg = Heroic dose
The benefits of a heroic dose are usually similar to a high dose while the risks are greater so stay away from heroic doses unless you have a great reason to experiment with them

Many psychonauts recommend starting with a light dose (around 50 µg) but since AL-LAD is so easy to handle, it isn’t always necessary.

If you start at lower doses, your ego will also learn how to control the psychedelic states. Because of that, it’ll be harder to let go once you move to higher doses and this can easily lead to bad trips.

You will also not get as many benefits from the drug as if you were to start with higher doses.

It’s been shown (at least it is the case for LSD) that mystical experiences can deeply change your identity and the higher the dose you take, the more intense they will be.

Do not, however, start with a strong dose if you don’t have a trip sitter nearby.

High and heroic doses can easily cause you to reach a breakthrough where you lose sense of the physical world. You will become so conscious that you will “go unconscious.”

The last thing you want is to start lying unconscious on a street or in a club. Keep in mind that the higher the dose you take, the more important it is to be in a safe environment.

Some people are more sensitive than others. Some individuals can take a huge dose and feel nothing while some can experience ego dissolution at 50 µg. Finding the best dose may require some experimentation.

Safety checklist

Maximize the benefits

Keep in mind that integration is even more important than the trip itself. Taking psychedelics would be almost useless if you didn’t retain any lessons in your day-to-day life.

What will help you the most is contemplating about the experience – be it by journaling, thinking about the trip, or sharing your memories with a trusted friend.

Distracting thoughts can get in the way, which is why you want to spend the day after your trip without TV, social media, and other distractions.

If you can, spend time in silence and solitude. Meditate, go for a walk, contemplate the experience.

Should you listen to music on AL-LAD?

When it comes to regular psychedelics, music can make the trip more pleasant and greatly increase the benefits. That is why it is used in most psychotherapy sessions.

With that said, this may not apply to AL-LAD since AL-LAD is already positive and you shouldn’t need music to make the experience even more pleasant.

If you’re taking the substance with an intention to contemplate existential questions, solve human problems, or similar activities, music can be a distraction.

And not all music is created equal. Listening to N.W.A. and 2Pac would probably not be very helpful in most cases. Even positive, relaxing music with lyrics can sometimes be a distraction.

If you decide to listen to music on the psychedelic, choose calm, classical music with little to no lyrics.

This playlist used in Johns Hopkins psilocybin studies is proven to be extremely effective:

Roland Griffiths, the author of this playlist, went over hundreds of great uplifting and therapeutic songs and only chose the best of the best based on how his patients responded to the music.

The music should be loud enough so you can hear it clearly but not unpleasantly loud. If you can, play it in your headphones.

Duration

Onset = 20-60 minutes
Come up = 30-60 minutes
Peak = 2-5 hours
Come down = 2-3 hours

You should notice the first effects within 40 minutes after you take the psychedelic
You will reach the maximum effect around the 2-hour mark
The whole trip usually lasts for 6-10 hours
At heroic doses, your trip may last for even longer (up to days in rare cases)
If you eat before your trip, the substance will take longer to kick in (sometimes over 4 hours)

What does 1cP-AL-LAD feel like?

The effects of 1cP-AL-LAD are identical to regular AL-LSD. They are similar to LSD but 1cP-AL-LAD is a lot more visual and usually doesn’t challenge your beliefs and your sense of self in a way that LSD can.

This makes 1cP-AL-LAD more pleasant than LSD. It is extremely uncommon to get a “bad trip” on AL-LAD, which makes the psychedelic suitable for beginner psychonauts, recreational users, or those who are afraid of tripping.

For the same reason, 1cP-AL-LAD has fewer therapeutic properties than LSD. It usually doesn’t allow you (or force you) to face your demons and heal your traumas as effectively.

The visuals are also slightly different. For example, AL-LAD makes some users see themselves and other people as bad-looking when on the substance.

Just like LSD, 1cP-AL-LAD can give you insights into the nature of reality, as well as practical insights that you can apply to your life. This is especially the case if you’ve taken other psychedelics in the past.

Common short-term effects include:

Euphoria
Increased creativity and open-mindedness
Mindfulness, being present
Higher capability for love and compassion
Pain relief
Feeling one with all that is
Seeing life from a different perspective
Appreciating small things
Higher energy
Increased awareness
Stamina enhancement
Feeling your emotions more intensely
Memory suppression
Time distortion
Inability to sleep
Visual effects (enhanced colors, seeing patterns in everything, distortions, …)
Getting stuck in a thought loop
Confusion
Nausea
Headache
Inability to focus
Increased body temperature
Increased heart rate
Worse thermoregulation
Difficulty urinating
Anxiety, paranoia
Vulnerability

The higher the dose you take, the more intense these effects will be.

With that said, it is impossible to accurately describe the experience through human language.

The psychedelic affects each individual differently and no two trips are the same.

The only way to truly know what 1cP-AL-LAD feels like is to take it.

Even though this drug is almost always pleasant, Bad trips can happen if you take it irresponsibly. You can prevent them by following the tips below.

Bad trips

Bad trips mostly happen because people take the substance irresponsibly. If you take this psychedelic the right way, there is virtually no chance you’ll get a bad trip.

In case you still do, that’s good! A “bad” trip isn’t bad, it can actually be the most healing and insightful moment of your life!

During a “bad” trip, negative emotions are coming up from your subconscious mind. They have always been there whether you are aware of it or not. They have been damaging your life and a difficult trip is an opportunity to process these traumas and unpleasant feelings and let go of them.

The more painful the experience, the more you can heal.

So instead of calling bad trips bad, call them challenging.

If you understand that bad trips are awesome in the long run, not only will you feel more comfortable diving into these challenging states, it will actually excite you!

Why they happen

The most common reasons for getting a bad trip are:

Tripping in an unsafe environment (in public, at a party, even nature doesn’t feel safe if you take higher doses)
Facing difficult times in your day-to-day life (a break-up, death of a loved one, …)
Rejecting to let go and trying to hold on to your ego and control the state
Being afraid of the trip (either because of the stigma around psychedelics or because you are not sure how pure your substance is)
Mixing the psychedelic with alcohol, weed, or other drugs
Expecting a bad trip (it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy)

How to cope with a bad trip

Do not perceive this experience as something bad, remember that facing these difficult emotions is extremely healing
Fully surrender to the experience, do not try to feel good
If you’re alone, call a trusted friend to come over and keep you safe

How to end a bad trip

In case you are not ready to face your inner demons yet, there are a few ways to end a bad trip.

One possible way is to put on music that is familiar to you. Another way is to switch up your location and move from one place to another. This can completely change your train of thought.

In case the trip becomes extremely challenging and there is no one around you to keep you safe, consider ending your trip with a trip killer.

Using a trip killer usually is not the best idea because the bad emotions will stay unresolved and you will get little to no benefits from the experience. With that said, using a trip killer is smarter than harming yourself.

The 2 best options that you have for ending a bad trip are Phenibut and benzodiazepines.

Phenibut is generally safer. The downside is that it can take hours to kick in.

So to end a trip, use benzodiazepines but only do this if you completely have to.

Interactions

Lion’s Mane and Niacin
Taking Lion’s mane and niacin combined with a microdose of lysergamides or other serotonergic psychedelics can result in significant improvements in neuroplasticity. To maximize the benefits related to neuroplasticity, take a microdose with 1 gram of dry Lion’s mane and 50-100 mg of niacin every 3rd day.
Vitamins/minerals
Many nutrients, such as vitamin C, B12, and choline, are neuroprotective. In addition to that, fixing your nutrient deficiencies is important for your well-being during the trip.
Herbs
Herbs can help calm you down. Herbal teas (chamomile, lemon balm, valerian root, …) are especially helpful.
Green tea
Tea makes you both more alert and calm at the same time. It also contains neuroprotective antioxidants, such as EGCG.
CBD
CBD has a calming effect.
Magic mushrooms
The substances act synergistically, some people prefer this combination instead of taking the two individually.
Weed
Marijuana will greatly intensify the trip.
MDMA
They have a synergistic effect but AL-LAD might increase the neurotoxicity of MDMA. Also, do not combine the two if you suffer from heart problems.
Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide will multiply the intensity of your trip.
Dissociatives
Combining dissociatives with psychedelics won’t necessarily cause you harm but it can be confusing and lead to bad trips.
Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, …)
Benzos will end your psychedelic experience within 40 minutes but using this method may cause you side effects in the long run.
Alcohol
Alcohol minimizes all the potential benefits of a psychedelic experience. It also greatly increases your chance of having a bad trip.
SSRIs or MAOIs
Not only will these antidepressants greatly decrease the intensity of your trip, but they can also lead to long-lasting side effects.
Lithium
Combining psychedelics with lithium significantly increases the risk of seizures and psychosis.
Stimulants
The combination can easily lead to heart problems, even if you’re a healthy individual.
Tramadol
Combining the two can cause seizures.
St. John’s Wort
This combination may lead to serotonin syndrome.

Microdosing

There are not many people (if any) who microdose with 1cP-AL-LAD. Therefore, we know very little about the practice.

With that said, microdosing with LSD is extremely effective for boosting creativity, decreasing depression and anxiety, and many other things. The benefits of microdosing 1cP-AL-LAD are likely similar.

If you are going to try microdosing with 1cP-AL-LAD, it’s probably best to take 20 µg every 3rd day. Taking a microdose more often is not a good idea because you would become tolerant to the drug and the substance would have little to no effect.

What is awesome about microdosing is that you can stop at any time in case you notice some adverse reaction or if you simply don’t see any benefits.

How to microdose

Put your blotters into distilled water (10 ml of liquid per 200 µg). Keep the water in a cold dark place for 24 hours to make sure your tab has fully dissolved into the liquid.

Put the liquid into your fridge so that the substance doesn’t oxidize. If you store your substance in the fridge, it will last for up to a year there, sometimes even longer. The same applies to a freezer.

Take 20 µg of 1cP-AL-LAD (1 ml of the liquid) every 3rd day, preferably on the days you want to be the most creative.

Do so in the morning so that the substance doesn’t interfere with your sleep.

Legality

1cP-AL-LAD is not a scheduled substance in the US, nor is it illegal in most other countries.

However, 1cP-AL-LAD can be viewed as an AL-LAD analog and AL-LAD is a scheduled substance. Therefore, possessing 1cP and using it can be illegal.

In many countries, AL-LAD and 1cP-AL-LAD are decriminalized and you can legally own a small amount of the substance for personal use.

Where to get AL-LAD

These are the ways you can get your hands on the psychedelic, ranked from the safest to the least safe:

Buy 1cP-AL-LAD from Research chemical companies
If the drug is not scheduled in your country, you can legally buy it from the internet for chemical purposes.
Buy a different research chemical that is similar to 1cP-AL-LAD
If 1cP-AL-LAD is scheduled in your country, you may still be able to buy 1P-ETH-LAD, for example.
Buy 1cP-AL-LAD in person
Whether you buy the drug from a random drug dealer or a trusted friend, you can’t know for sure what the tab contains until you use a test kit. Do not take a substance if you don’t know for sure that it is pure.
Make 1cP-AL-LAD on your own
Preparing the chemical can be dangerous and you’d need a deep understanding of chemistry, as well as a fully-equipped home lab. In addition to that, you would have to get your hands on chemicals that may be illegal to obtain. If you try to create the substance on your own, there is a good chance you will end up behind bars or dead.

Buying research chemicals from the internet

Perhaps the best provider of research chemicals like 1cP-AL-LAD is Chemical Collective.

Their products are cheap, the company is highly reliable, and they will deliver the chemicals to you within 10-20 days. If the package gets lost, you can ask them to send you a new one, and they will.

Some research chemicals may not be legal where you live, so always check the legal status of your country before you buy any substance. Chemical Collective may not accept or ship your order if it doesn’t fit the laws of your country.

FAQ

Becoming addicted to 1cP-AL-LAD is not common. What you need to know about is tolerance.

If you were to trip 2 days in a row, your 2nd trip would be extremely weak. You will have to wait for several days to refresh your tolerance.

How many days does it take?

This mostly depends on the dose. At regular doses, it takes approximately 7 days to become sensitive again.

So you could technically take 1cP-AL-LAD every week but if you want to maximize the benefits, do not trip before you integrate all the lessons from your last trip.

Counter-intuitively, you might get more benefits by tripping less often.

That is why you may only want to trip once or twice a month or just a couple of times a year.

As your trips get more and more intense, you will not want to trip nearly as often anyway.

AL-LAD is most likely a partial agonist for the 5-HT_2A receptors.

With that said, the only way to truly know what this psychedelic does to your brain is to try it yourself.

It is not about your age, it is about how mature you are.

Teenagers (and younger) generally aren’t responsible enough to take psychedelics but it isn’t always the case.

If you are under the age of 21, your brain is evolving at a rapid rate on its own. This means that when you take psychedelics, there is more potential for growth but the risks are also higher.

Unlike with other psychedelics, such as LSD, it is relatively safe to trip in a recreational setting (such as at a party).

With that said, you still want to trip in a safe place where there are no strangers around.

Whether you should take 1cP-AL-LAD at home or in nature will depend on your priorities.

Tripping at home is safer and better for personal growth while taking psychedelics outside will help you develop a strong connection with nature.

Try both and see which one you like more.

If you are a mentally stable individual who does not suffer from psychosis or have a predisposition to schizophrenia, there is virtually no way you would develop any mental illnesses because of taking the psychedelic.

1cP-AL-LAD can be detected in your blood for 6-12 hours after you’ve taken it.

It stays in your urine for 3-4 days.

In your hair, AL-LAD can be detected for a couple of months.

All that said, there’s almost no chance anyone would ever test you for 1cP-AL-LAD. Police officers rarely do it and in sports, 1cP-AL-LAD usually isn’t prohibited.

AL-LAD blotters have no taste or a slightly bitter taste because of the ink. If your blotter is very bitter, spit it out! It is likely to be 25I-NBOMe which may cause you physical harm and can even kill you.

Order a Marquis Reagent Testing Kit from the internet and follow the instructions on its label. If the test shows the presence of NBOMe, trash the substance. If not, the blotter should be safe to take.

Keep your blotters in a cold dark place, preferably with no air.

If you don’t do this, your blotters will lose potency within a few weeks or months.

When you store the drug well, it will last for years or even decades.

If you microdose with 1cP-AL-LAD, you can and will look sober.

On 70+ µg, it can be difficult to look sober, especially during the peak experience.

At doses larger than 150 µg, it becomes nearly impossible to act sober.

In addition to that, your pupils will be dilated.

So do not talk to your boss or your parents when you’re tripping.

Eating before you take the drug has some advantages as well as a few disadvantages.

One reason you’d want to eat before your trip is that people sometimes lose their appetite on psychedelics.

Preparing and eating food can also be a distraction.

If you don’t eat anything and become hungry during your trip, it can make you feel fatigued and irritated.

However, eating before your trip can cause nausea and even make you vomit.

The substance will also take longer to kick in, sometimes up to 2 hours.

So the best way to go about food is to eat a little bit 1-2 hours before the trip and have some snacks prepared next to you.

Yes.

Watching yourself in the mirror can give you many insights into your life and the self.

Some people report looking weird in their eyes on AL-LAD. Prepare yourself for that.

Do not, however, stare at yourself when you’re going through a bad trip.

All of these are amazing for beginners.

If you are not sure whether or not your AL-LAD or LSD blotter is pure, psilocybin mushrooms are a way to go.

AL-LAD allows for clearer thoughts than mushrooms while LSD is somewhere in-between the two. AL-LAD also doesn’t cause a bad trip nearly as often, which is great if you’re afraid of tripping.

The duration of LSD is the longest. This can be unpleasant if you’re unfamiliar with the psychedelic state or if you get into a challenging trip.

If you will take the substance in nature, go for mushrooms. Even if you take it indoors, magic mushrooms are still likely to bring more benefits into your life.

Keep in mind that the difference is not that big and what is way more important is your dose and that you take the substance in a safe environment.

Immature people who are not willing to follow the safety guidelines
People who suffer from psychosis
People who have a familial history of schizophrenia
Those who suffer from HPPD
People who are going through a manic phase of bipolar disorder
If you’re going through extremely challenging times, you can take psychedelics but the trips might be unpleasant, beware of that
