Eth-LAD was one of the drugs I wanted to try for a long time. People reporting it has much more intense visuals then LSD made me really interested, and after trying 100ugs for a few times I can say it's absultely true. 100ugs of Eth-LAD would feel about as strong as 200ugs of LSD with the visuals of 400 to 500ugs of LSD. However, the effects and visuals are quite different then the ones I would get from LSD

So yesterday I was coming home for the weekend, at about 10am on the trainride home I took the first 100ugs, since I knew it would take about an hour to start. on the walk home at about 10:30 I decided to take the other 100ugs, I was only 10 minutes away from my house. Towards the end of the walk the concrete already started to look odd and more 3 dimensional. At home I absolutely felt the effects starting to come on, and....I didn't feel very well and kinda anxious. But I knew I just had to calm myself down and not panic, so I just took a shower during the come up, which always calms me down.

About 20 minutes later I got out of the shower and that's where I started seeing red and pink spiraling patterns all over my vision, I could still see without any problem tho. However, the anxiety started again, and this time really strong. I quickly put on clothes, got to my PC and tried to find some calm music, but as I was searching for a nice song the anxiety started to get stronger and stronger. So I decided to just lie down in my bed at which point the visuals got really intense. I was just facing the white matress and the red, yellow and blue spiraling patterns were getting really intense. I felt quite scared and helpless as I felt like this drug has taken over me and now could do with me whatever it wants. At this point I just tried to completely relax my body and focus on breathing slowly. I had to remind myself that this drug is completely safe and no one ever died from it, and it worked and prevented me from having a panic attack. I.....did not expect that, this felt maybe more intense then 500ugs of LSD.

After about 10 to 20 minutes I got up and decided to listen to some music, at this point it was pretty amazing, but for the next 1 or 2 hours I still felt like I was on the edge of panic. But the visuals were insane. Everything I looked at would produce rainbow coloured spiraling patterns, almost every surface looked like it was made out of multible transparent layers and everything on my screen would produce endless fractel patterns in the background. The writing on the black screen background were glowing as if a bright star was shining through them from the infinite space behind the screen. From a bit farther away the letters would keep morphing into different symbols and everything on my screen would morph into a united pattern.

About 3 hours in the effects had lessened enough that I could leave my room and walk around in the house. I went into the kitchen where my sister and one of her friends were talking. They didn't seen to notice anything weird and was able to think quite normal, however rainbow coloured blinking patterns were still coming off the edge of everything I looked at. I also briefly heard and saw things that weren't there, my sister would talk about her cats in her apartment and I would suddenly look at the floor because I thought I saw them walking towards me. After her friend left, it was only my sister and our dog in the house, however the noise they would make would morph into steps and voices from all my other family members and I always had to remind myself that they weren't here right now.

About 3 to 4 hours in I decided to go into our garden to look at our pet chickens. And everything just looked extremely colourful. All the tiny gravel stones in the concrete were in rainbow pastell colours, the wood had light yellow, green and purple tones over the usual light brown colour and the grass was an intense dark green with tones of purple and yellow in it. When I would look at the grass I saw green zig zag patterns blinking in the lawn. This continued on and everything I looked at closer would seem like it was made up of an infinite fractel of blinking zig zag lines.

On an emotional level I just felt empathy and a strong connection with all the animals in my garden, much more then with LSD, the empathy feeling was generally unusually strong with Eth-LAD. But so are also the physical side effects, I rarely get nausious, but Eth-LAD was one of the drugs that gave me the most nausia and towards the end also stomach cramps. The only drug where the nausia was worse was Hydromorphone, but that's absolutely worth it.

The main effect were over after 4 to 5 hours, but in darker environments I could still see intense visuals.

Often it was blue or red zig zag lines moving along objects, it looked quite like electricity. I felt really exhausted and laid down in my bed in my dark room, and I could see something resembling a miniature thunder storm with lightning in the corners of my room, or even when I would just look in the dark it seemed like there were lightning at the corners of my vision.

The visuals got less and less over the next few hours, sometimes I thought it was over but when I focused on a darker spot I would start seeing small rainbow coloured patterns again. Even 15 hours after dosing when I went to bed I could still see these patterns emerging from the dark background, but it didn't bother me at all and I could fall asleep without any trouble.

Overall it was amazing, I think I prefer Eth-LAD over LSD. Sure, compared to LSD it feels a bit nasty and harsh because of the stronger side effects, but it has so many visual and mental effects that LSD just doesn't have, which makes it so worth it for me. Even the 100ug doses in the past were really helpful and quite therapeutical, it helped me so much in getting away from other addictive drugs.
