Description
Meta Information

ALD-52, also known as 1-acetyl-LSD, is a psychedelic drug that is structurally similar to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).^[3] ALD-52 has been reported to produce similar psychoactive effects as LSD,^[3] but its pharmacological effects on humans are poorly understood. Given its psychoactive properties, it has been reported to be consumed as a recreational drug, and the purported first confirmed detection of the substance on the illicit market occurred in April 2016.^[3]^[4]

ALD-52 was initially synthesized in 1957 by Albert Hofmann, who is accredited as the first individual to have synthesised LSD, a chemical analogue of ALD-52. Until the rise in popularity of psychedelics in the 1960s, ALD-52 was not widely studied.^[5] It is assumed to act as a prodrug to LSD in humans, but this has yet to be scientifically verified.^[3]

Effects Of 1A LSD (ALD-52)

[edit]

In Entry 26 of his compendium TiHKAL, which discussed LSD, chemist Alexander Shulgin touched briefly on the subject of ALD-52. His comments there are vague, second-hand accounts saying doses in the 50–175 μg range have resulted in various conclusions. One account found that there was less visual distortion than with LSD and it seemed to produce less anxiety and tenseness and that it was somewhat less potent. One subject claimed it was more effective in increasing blood pressure, and another could not tell them apart.
