Welcome to Drugs, now under new management!
This community is for the discussion of any drugs and any topics pertaining to drugs (except sourcing).
Specific substances / classes of substances may have their own dedicated communities. See "Communities" section below.
Please contact @7101334@lemmy.world if you're interested in volunteering as a moderator!

Rules
No Sourcing - Do not request sources of any drugs at any time. This includes unregulated research chemicals. Any attempts, including "hit me up in DMs" type of requests, will result in a ban. This rule is necessary to keep this community open.
Harm Reduction - Do not recommend inherently dangerous doses or combinations of substances, or otherwise encourage behavior more risky than drug use already is by default. Clear attempts at causing intentional harm will result in a ban.
Avoid Dangerous Recommendations - Avoid recommending substances that have a reasonable chance of causing considerable harm to the user. For example, DPH, inhalants, or opioids. This rule is necessary to conform with Lemmy.World's Terms of Service. Posts violating this rule will be removed.

They are listing the half life, not the total duration
A 1 hour half life would be roughly 7 hours until there is no trace left.
That doesnt match with any of the other substances listed, and LSD lasts longer than 7 hours anyways.
Idk what to tell you lol. I'm just stating what is on the paper and the math for a 1 hour half life.
I have absolutely no clue how long the high from any of these drugs should last.
Purely guessing: these drugs could cause highs that last longer or shorter than my math, because they could get metabolized into other substances that affect the high, and those other substances may have different half lives, too. But then, this doesn't seem like very useful information to give people at a "party"
I'm pretty sure LSD doesn't get metabolized into anything else. Sits directly in your 5-HT2A receptors until it degrades by heat / other breakdown, I think.
And I can definitely confirm it lasts longer than 7 hours. I've had 12 - 14 hour trips with tested-and-confirmed LSD. Though maybe that's dose dependent? Most people (including me) have no idea how many micrograms they're consuming in a single blotter / gel / whatever.
I'll admit, I somehow missed the fact that it says half-life in the header. But like the other comments have pointed out that still doesn't make sense.
