Community reviews of ETH-LAD

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 3 community reviews by ResearchSafe members.

  • aisha_hikes rated it 3/5 - Not quite what I wanted for my focus: The only real win was that I lost about 9 kg over six months, which was brilliant. Everything else felt a bit off. The visuals were too much for my liking and the length was a bit of a drag. Just my own experience, but I reckon it was a bit overkill.
  • earlyomar rated it 5/5 - way more visuals than usual: honestly the visuals were the biggest thing for me. just my own experience but it felt way more intense than regular lsd. i actually lost 6 lbs over those 4 weeks too, could just be placebo or me forgettin to eat. really liked how it felt for my headspace 🙂
  • grinder_daily rated it 5/5 - Lost 17 lb and felt sharper after ETH‑LAD trips: I was skeptical, but after a few ETH‑LAD sessions my cravings dropped and I started moving more, and over ten weeks I shed about 17 lb. My focus felt clearer during study blocks and the visuals were intense but not overwhelming. Just my own vibe, though.
