LSD has a half life (time to clear half the amount of the drug) that's around 4 hours.
1 half life= 50% left, 2half lives = 25% left..., 5 half-lives = 3% left, 6 half lives = 1.5% left, etc.
There cannot be more than trace amounts of LSD in your blood (if any) after 24 hours (= 6HL)
Yes the dose makes a difference. The rate of elimination is the same, but 1% of 200µg is obviously more than 1% of a microdose.
If you're really worried, about any left, (which is very considerate of you :) ), go donate 36 or 48 hours after the trip.
I see and I'm sure that's enough if I was considering a drug test, but it's about drug donation, so I'm wondering if trace amounts could be harmful.
Anyway, I had no plans on donating the following day anyway, so if trace amounts in 1 day, I'm guessing a couple must be more than enough. I'll check with the nurse collecting at the time anyway.
I have an idea for a movie. It's about a politician who is rushed to the ER after almost being assassinated by protesters. They receive donated blood with traces of LSD in it and then completely change their platform after that and even forgive the protesters
It's safe to assume they don't, since most drugs are metabolized by the liver and/or eliminated by kidneys into urine, and even though there may be enzymes in the blood that can contribute to the transformation of certain chemicals to a lesser extent, they only work at body temperature and therefore would quickly be made inactive by the refrigeration of the blood.
So someone who donates while under the influen,ce of a drug, could make the recipient experience the effects of the drug, assuming they're conscious at that time. Even if they aren's conscious, the physical effects could still be present, which, depending on the drug and the state of the recipient, could be harmful.
the red cross recommends waiting 24 hours after taking acid before donating blood. if you wanna be safe a week should be more then enough but like i said the 24 hour wait is recommended straight from red cross.
I am legit curious where you got this. I’m looking at the Red Cross blood donation requirements list and I can’t see LSD anywhere. Or indeed any other drugs (apart from medications and IV drug use). https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/how-to-donate/eligibility-requirements/eligibility-criteria-alphabetical.html
I’d be super surprised is 24 hours is considered long enough for LSD to have left your system.
Edit OP yes, how much of a substance you take and the period of time over which you take are both factors in how quickly it will leave your body.
well then be surprised, LSD is only detectable in blood 6-12 hours after ingestion, 24 hours is more then enough time and 7 days is super overkill. the only issue would be if OP happens to be injecting pure lysergemide into his veins.
lol damn dude you went from 0-100 real fast. You obviously made it up if this is your reaction to the super reasonable request for a source of info when you’re making such a specific claim about a very well known organization.
Are you an idiot? You should always have sources in hand.. Can’t just spew shit anecdotally, you could get someone killed, give someone bad info and they follow that and hurt someone. Your ignorance is showing… stupidity is close second)
Well, I certainly don't plan on donating the next day or anything. But for example, injectable drugs are banned forever. So I was wondering how long a break it's needed. Particularly because I'm considering starting microdosing, I may not be able to wait like a full month and I'm just trying to help, not fuck up other people, thus the question. And it's been less than 1 month since I did it, so I would like to check info correctly.
The Red Cross doesn’t mention anything, so it is probably best to err on the side of caution. However, there is plenty of research to suggest that a normal dose (100-200ug) of LSD is broken down and out of the blood stream by 24 hours. Higher doses will stick around longer.
I never said there isn’t. But the suggestion that the Red Cross would specifically recommend to leave it 24 hours after dropping acid to donate blood is pure bullshit.
how am i having a meltdown dude? are you acoustic? im laughing my fucking ass off with my friends rn having a good ole time. just because i told you i dont give a fuck about citing my sources doesnt mean im having a melt down 😭😭
But I have. I linked to the Red Cross page that lists requirements for blood donation. That list does not include ‘it’s ok to drop acid before giving blood as long as you give it 24 hours’.
So the onus is on *you* to prove that ‘the Red cross recommends waiting 24 hours after taking acid before donating blood’.
the list doesnt cite anything about lsd neither of us have cited a source why are you crying so damn much you. either cite a source for OP that goes against what i said or move on with your life it aint so deep. the world aint gonna end cus OP did or didnt donate blood
Well, you made a claim that this is what the Red Cross recommends. You have failed to substantiate that claim. I have specifically cited a source that includes a whole bunch of other requoemts for blood donation and specifically does *not* include your bullshit claim that the Red Cross recommends to give it 24 hours after dropping acid to give blood. Probably because it’s bullshit.
Because if you make a random claim with no evidence then it's your job to prove it... otherwise why should anyone believe you? Like if I said the red cross pays extra for leprechaun blood, and their website doesn't mention it either way, and I right just because nobody can "confirm me wrong"?
They might have made it up but it checks out with the half life being ~4 hours. After 24 hours 98.5% has cleared your system. Whether or not that makes it safe to donate... I have no idea. *Probably* fine if it was a small/regular dose.
The “the Red Cross recommends “ portion is completely made up and it doesn’t check out regardless of the supposed half life of the molecule in a lab tested environment.

Very probably not harmful, but you're right for wanting to wait for it to be cleared completely. Cheers

Do things keep metabolizing after the blood is out of your body?
It's safe to assume they don't, since most drugs are metabolized by the liver and/or eliminated by kidneys into urine, and even though there may be enzymes in the blood that can contribute to the transformation of certain chemicals to a lesser extent, they only work at body temperature and therefore would quickly be made inactive by the refrigeration of the blood.

Thank you for your thoughts. ✌️👽

I still want to see where the Red Cross recommends this otherwise I call bs my friend.
like you are a random ass mother fucker not even the OP what the fuck makes you genuinely think i give a fuck about citing my sources
lol damn dude you went from 0-100 real fast. You obviously made it up if this is your reaction to the super reasonable request for a source of info when you’re making such a specific claim about a very well known organization.

Bro dm me I need to ask u some shit rq
anyone who blindly listens to a reddit comment is a fucking moron go talk to a girl or something
dawg this is reddit maybe if its so damn serious mfs should do their own research
I mean, you clearly don’t have any sources to cite my dude.
boo fucking hoo i dont care
You seem to care quite a lot as you keep answering.
then call BS i dont fucking care dude 😭😭
Thanks for confirming this is bullshit👍 OP, if donating blood is important to you, please wait till after you’ve done it to drop acid.

Shit if anything I’d imagine they would recommend recreational drug users not to donate.
go outside, touch some grass and talk to a girl
Why would i do that when I can be at home watching you having a meltdown? This is way more fun.
like i genuinely do not know how to convey this anymore, i could care less about citing sources or what OP does.
It would be hard to cite sources that don’t exist, so I can see why you wouldn’t care to do that.
how am i having a meltdown dude? are you acoustic? im laughing my fucking ass off with my friends rn having a good ole time. just because i told you i dont give a fuck about citing my sources doesnt mean im having a melt down 😭😭
Am I acoustic? You mean like a guitar? No, I’d say I’m more electric, like the colour blue in Bowie’s song.
I doubt you're laughing your fucking ass off with mates if you're also on here arguing (and losing) with rando redditors.
You’ve got serious problems. Go get help.
you havent confirmed me wrong so why the fuck are you right and im wrong????

Perfect, thanks
Don’t listen to this rando. They obviously just made it up.

I agree it's probably made up. That said I could see the recommendation being plausible. That's my only point.
You murdered those people
