The History of Blotter Acid and Its Utility for Distributing LSD

Blotter acid, a carrier medium for LSD, was a method used to distribute LSD discreetly. Created by Eric Ghost in the late 1960s, the medium involved imprinting doses of LSD on small paper squares. This form evolved in the mid-70s with the introduction of perforations for easier dosage control. By the late '70s and '80s, blotter acid became the dominant form of LSD distribution, featuring elaborate images on the paper squares, defining a distinct era of LSD culture.
