In the article here: http://www.themorningnews.org/article/the-heretic Dr. Fadiman talks about micro-dosing with LSD. This piqued my interest and I decided to give it a try. I happened to have some LSD laying around.
I decided to try a 10 micro-gram dose per day for 15 days, at which point I will stop.
In order to measure out 10ug, I took one 150ug blotter, placed it into a chlorine free 20oz bottle of water and shook violently. I then used a measuring tape to mark off 15 equal sections of water. This is not precise, but has worked well thus far. I let the Blotter sit in the bottle overnight, and then shook violently again the following morning before my first dose. The last time I ingested LSD before this experience was about 60 days ago.
What follows are my logs over the first 48 hours and change, I will continue to log for the next 13 days.

2cb is not an amphetamine. Cant tell if that is what you were saying.

He was probably referring to it, since both 2-CB and amphetamine are phenylethlamines. However, that has little to do with their removal from the body, as the different functional groups change the pharmacodynamics greatly. Also, LSD shares both a tryptamine and phenylethlamine structure. It's not as simple as saying "traditional psychedelics" are removed from the body quickly. Mescaline has a very long half life, and is a traditional psychedelic.
