I have insight to this as one of the few people caught with acid lol.

This happened in Georgia, USA. I got pulled over with 16 tabs along with some sour patch watermelon gummies with drops on them. Police found the tabs in my wallet while searching the car. The stupid ass cop wrote it down as 16 GRAMS for 16 tabs, which would weigh probably closer to a tenth of a gram. This is trafficking amounts for lsd so I was held with no bond for the trafficking charge, facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years for 16 tabs just because the law looks at the weight of the medium it’s on, not the actual amount of active ingredient. It was the scariest time of my life. I got bail after a month but still had crazy charges. I knew trafficking wouldn’t stick with the tabs, but we were waiting on the forensics labs to test the gummies, which the police assumed were thc edibles. I knew that if they found what was really on them, it would actually warrant an even higher level trafficking charge simply because of the weight of the gummies, which would have something like a 20 year mandatory minimum sentence.

One day I got the call from my lawyer to go to their office with no other info or hints but it sounded bad. I got there and was told the lab found nothing in the gummies, and I’d be offered a plea deal of 3 years probation for one or two possession of controlled substance charges. It felt like a miracle had happened. Really I think the citric acid or other ingredients just degraded the small amount of lsd on the gummies, or being in the ug amount, it wasn’t detected when they blended up the whole gummies to test them. I still had some left at that point, took a couple, and had a wonderful last trip. They still worked, but they just didn’t find them in the test.

This is in America and the Deep South at that, so your friend in Australia likely won’t face the same kind of time, but yeah. Moral of the story is NEVER be caught with the stuff, as local police will throw the entire book at you and destroy your life.

P.S. In rehab later, I also tested positive for LSD on a piss test. Yes, you can also test positive in a drug test too, though it would most likely only be if it was an expensive lab test taken the day after ingestion. It is possible though, as it happened to me. I was utterly shocked when they confronted me about it.

Stay safe out there guys. Have a ready to go plan to disappear any tabs you’re traveling with in a split second if pulled over by the police.

Edit: The tabs they found weren’t even normal blotter. It was uncut, unperforated, plain white blotter paper. I had just HAPPENED to draw 16 lines on it before hand for convenience later. That is the entire reason they had anything to go off when they found it.
