Backstory: A nice acid trip with even nicer friends is a unique, strengthening experience. Enough so that I want to keep it relatively consistent within my group of friends. But with BlueViking (BV) and HouseOfSpirit (HoS) practically out of the picture (when I ordered in early December, I'm aware both are somewhat back at it today), the hunt for acid always ended up with an overpriced product, or an underdosed one. With these criteria - accurately dosed, real acid, consistent trips with friends, and ideal price point in mind, I panned through (like any good r/DNM user should) pages upon pages of LSD vendor reviews. While GammaGoblin sounded nice, I'm not down for international. Finally, I settled on Meatball - a relatively small vendor, on Evolution. But don't let the fact that his magnitude pales in comparison to HoS or BV dissuade you. With 901 +, 3 neutral, and 3 negative feedback (as of 1/11/2015), and no FE required, he's the man. With listing up to 1/4 sheets (25 tabs), he supplies the perfect amount for the casual tripper.
Shipping speed: I ordered it at midnight West Coast USA time. I'd be fine if because of this he was late to respond, but this wasn't case. He marked the order 'processing' within 2 hours, and shipped it within 12. Very swift. The product was as expected for domestic US mail - 4 days to West Coast. No complaints whatsoever here.
Stealth: Again, no complaints. Because it is LSD, it arrived in a nice business letter, with somewhat of a decoy. Not as clever as BV's decoy (ordered from him last Fall), but I can't see any way this would get intercepted. There isn't much to stealthing acid, but Meatball did very well at it.
Product: With 4 acid trips under my belt (BV and Local), this was by far the best product I've ever had. Splitting the 1/4 sheet amongst friends, a group of them went off and dropped a tab each the first weekend they could. One said it felt similar to a 270 µg (microgram, mics) BV trip (1 1/2 185 Mayan White tabs), and every other member of the group said they tripped pretty hard. Light visuals, definite 'acid headspace,' and an overall great day. As sad as I was to miss out on this day, I was determined to trip off the drugs that I bought. Here's how I did it: 3 day backpacking trip, miles deep in the wilderness with not a worry in the world, three tabs (375 µg), and a crisp pack of cigarettes. (Because, admit it, we all chain smoke those things on acid) My biggest trip before this was the 270 µg BV trip mentioned above. I'll confess, I was fairly nervous about these untouched waters, but felt pretty ready for anything to come. In hindsight, I shouldn't have been so confident, but whatever. It was fucking awesome. We dropped at 9:20 AM, all three tabs at once. So T± 0:00 = 9:20. First, I'll give you my recollection, then our scattered, incoherent trip log. Talking from T+0:00 - T+ 0:10, I broke the conversation and got up to pee. I definitely felt that 'off' feeling that Lucy never fails to deliver - the start of something big. Upon my return, I blacked out once I sat down. From what sliver of a memory I have, I think I was just rolling around on the ground (not in the dirt, we had a clean area) and standing up and sitting back down repeatedly. This is the most obvious solution. Anyway, I regained my memory around T+0:35, getting up to take a walk. Feeling overwhelming antsy and speedy, I fearlessly trekked halfway up a hill to gaze over the valley. Then I saw what I never understood and had never seen before - fractals. And once I caught on, everything was geometric. The visuals were so incredibly surreal and beautiful, and came on - as far as I remember - so suddenly. I felt no body load, had a oh-so-familiar tangled headspace, and witnessed fully immersive visuals for the whole day. Until T+4:40, when suddenly our thoughts stopped looping and we almost came completely back to reality. The rest of the day, from 2:00 onward, we remained fuzzy, a little trippy, and still very elated. That was what surprised me most about this acid - we came up quickly and came down just as fast. Not to say we were stone cold sober five hours after dropping, but we were far more cognizant. In my humble opinion, this is how acid should be, especially when you have stuff to do at night (for us, we had to start a fire and make dinner.) A swift, hard, eye-opening trip with a manageable and fun afterglow/comedown. Overall, I'd rate this trip a 10/10, and just like my feeling on Meatball's shipping speed and stealth, I don't have a single complaint.
Now for our trip log. My two buddy's names have been replaced with abc and xyz, and anything in parenthesis was just added by me for further narration/context. I'm sorry, I tried my best to keep it in order
T+0:05-0:35 - No recollection (This was written sometime during the trip)
T+0:20 - butterflies, basic anxiety
T+0:40 - tightness thru body, almost speed like anxiety. No nausea
T+0:45 - blazing not a possibilty
T+1:05 - some nausea, visuals, colors strong
T+1:15 - visuals very strong, almost drunk-like hallucination (world spinning around me). we're nature's now
T+1:20 - fractals + fractals
T+1:35 - hiking higher? xyz's here.
T+2:30 - back on hill, still peaking
T+3:00 - no body load
T+3:15 - very intense, fractals strong
T+3:40 - "Fire Acid" - abc
T+4:10 - cigs good
T+4:40 - comedown begins
A note on pricing - with the whole order coming out to around $190, the 125 µg tabs were around $7.60 each. Assuming this and all other tabs are accurately dosed and advertised (which is a stretch), this is 6.08¢/µg. Compare this to other vendor's quarter sheets - GammaGoblin @ 4.4¢/µg, HouseOfSpirit @ 2.8¢/µg, and BlueViking @ 6¢/µg. All of those are very rough estimates, and I have a hunch that HoS' and BV's product is not quite as advertised.
"PGPtester10223, it might not have been acid!" Shut up. Here's a ehrlich test more purple than Chief Keef's lean. I bought the art blotter, so you can vaguely make out the psychedelic neon feather design. It looked somewhat like this.
Conclusion: Great acid. Great vendor. Process fast. Ship fast. Ship safe. Trip fast. Trip hard. Trip well.
TL;DR: Need some acid for you and your comrades? Forget that international nonsense, those stupid BV guidelines and HoS' inconsistency (which is never, ever, talked about here, mind you) and order from meatball today!!
And if you like to play by the rules (the chart rules, that is), here you go!!

Bear in mind that a 10 to me would be above and beyond, and a 9 still outstanding. I am an adamant opposer of the '10 for satisfactory' system so a B indicates a great transaction and an even better product.
Thanks for reading, I'm open to questions.
The one thing that makes me sceptical here is OP's trip report. Coming down after less than 5 hours? It's not exactly the biggest endorsement for a review especially for what is supposed to be 375ug. I tend to find bigger doses give longer trips. I don't think I would have expected noticing a comedown until at least 5h30(and that's probably quite conservative).
