How do they know if what they’ve taken is actually LSD-25, and not some research chemical?

Research chemicals pawned off as LSD is more common than ever. They are dangerous psychotic inducing deugs.

Anyone who has become an ‘acid casualty’ was dosed with these dangerous research chemicals, and everyone who was just fine had legitimate LSD?

Are you suggesting that’s impossible or improbable given the prevalence of fake LSD as well as research chemicals being sold as LSD-25?

My implicit suggestion was that the viewpoint expressed in my comment (as a question) is a ridiculous logical fallacy.

Reading the other comments I see that others have expressed the same thought.

It’s a hypothesis.

Test kits, test kits, test kits, TEST KITS. This whole thread needs test kits.

I heard LSD is rarely synthesized now and instead people end up with research chemicals (now scheduled) like 2C-B instead. Do you know if this is true?

True. In fact chances you're buying LSD nowadays is almost zero. And I suspect this is the reason of many bad experiences described in this topic

Where do you get that information from? What are people taking when we see articles on HN talk about the benefits of micro dosing?

It's not. There are reliable LSD vendors on the dark markets.
