There aren't really "varieties" of LSD. There's one chemical structure that is LSD. There are a couple related chemicals that are also hallucinogenic (e.g. LSA), but they have much lower potency. Having even 50% of a standard LSD dose contaminated with these related chemicals would really just feel like weak (low dose) LSD. Mindset, setting, and dose are the main variables that determine the trip experience.

It depends on your source. There are several psychedelics that get sold as others because their effects are very similar. A little harder to do with LSD as it's dosing is so tiny. But there are apparently some: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14855929 https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1485592...

There are absolutely varieties of lsd, especially nowadays with the legal analogues like 1v-lsd (Valerie) and 1p-lsd which are sometimes more common than the original. Though I agree that set and setting are extremely important

  Yeah but they're quite similar. LSD trips just vary a lot naturally, all kinds of things can happen on them.

    Like taking quite a high dose, having no visuals, no interesting thoughts just an endless itch in the throat, that gets progressively worse and worse until it consumes you completely. Haha

LSD 25 is the classic one. There were 24 versions before that. I once took what was said to be LSD 6, manufactured by Owsley himself. It was very different, but the setting was also very intense. 2,3-Dihydro-LSD is recent. AL-LAD, also known as 6-allyl-6-nor-LSD

  The 25 in LSD-25 refers to prior efforts by Hoffman to combine lysergic acid with various other organic moieties. https://archive.vn/vaKCX https://archive.vn/vaKCX The first 24 are not hallucinogenic. As I said in my earlier post, there are analogs to LSD with psychedelic effects. However they are much less potent. 2,3-dihydro is roughly 1/7th the potency of LSD. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=2a1c8e0d8ae022723549bdf59d15ce2655334211 https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&d... And it is not recent. The paper linked above is from 1964.
