Seems that at least parts of the US government has realised that carrier medium weight should not be used for LSD.

> In the case of LSD on a carrier medium (e.g., a sheet of blotter paper), do not use the weight of the LSD/carrier medium. Instead, treat each dose of LSD on the carrier medium as equal to 0.4 mg of LSD for the purposes of the Drug Quantity Table.

> brushed aside a U.S. Sentencing Commission rule establishing a uniform presumptive weight of 0.4 milligrams for all doses of LSD, regardless of the carrier.

yeah, so now I wonder which it is. Of course it will also depend on the state I guess.

400 μg per dose is still probably overestimating by quite a bit.
