It's not an uncommon dose for experienced psychonauts. Perhaps not monthly, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone with a lot of LSD experience that hasn't done that at least once with many doing that several times.

You also have to factor in that street drugs are all over the charts as far as consistency in the dosing and the person you replied to may have been consuming a fraction of what they thought they were (even humidity and handling can reduce what is there).

Yes, of course, I was using street LSD.

But I had a steady high-volume supplier, and bought for resale. So I'd carefully test stuff before buying. I'd start with half the recommended dose. Then, a week later, a full dose. And then, a week later, 2-3 doses.

So what gave me a "standard trip" I considered 0.1-0.2 mg. And when I say 0.5 mg, I mean 3-4 times that.

I worked in a biochem lab, and so stored my LSD under vacuum at -70 deg C.
