I guarantee you I didn't get ripped off. :)

I'm not an expert, purely amateur. But I daresay I learned a lot.

And blotter, and White Owsley, and windowpane, and a variety of "dots", and my particular favorite, a light green tab with dark flecks called "chocolate chip mint"... but the sealed USP ampules of pure 25, that was the good shit.
I'm familiar with some of those, and I know what the green tab was - it had more in it than acid. As the market tightened up from enforcement lots of things were tried to keep the clientel happy. Much of that is where acid got blamed for strange happenings that were due to other things. Acid was strictly a brain trip, and didn't affect the rest of the body. It was used in such minute doses that it couldn't have caused very much of what it got blamed for.
The week long trips and loss of visual focus, and loss of manual dexterity were not caused by a few micrograms of LSD. I was cautious in my use of any pills, and I quit completely when the weird garbage became prevalent, but my girlfriend at the time did a fair amount of both dropping and dealing, and some of the crap she held I wouldn't allow in my car because I knew it wasn't just acid.
