Title: Lysander Spooner's "Teddy Bear's Picnic" blotter
Post by: trpl on February 11, 2012, 07:06 pm
Hi!  I have a question for anyone that has tried Lysander Spooner's "Teddy Bear's Picnic" blotter.  Was there a print on the back as well as the front?
His photo is low quality but the print looks exactly like some very clean medium-high strength "Dancing Bears" blotter I had at a festival about a year ago in USA.  The print on the "Dancing Bears" was VERY precisely printed and very colorful, perforated at 1/4 inch.  The artwork was gorgeus and very well printed.  The back was plain white with a much larger prints of a pink bear that covered several ten strips, spaced out enough that not all hits would have it.  I was told that the ink on the back would fade from pink to purple when exposed to too much light (definitely didn't try that out!)

This was very clean blotter and I'm curious if Lysander Spooners is the same, searching reveals good AND bad reviews!

I have a question about this. People seem to place a huge faith in the blotter design itself. It seems like the general perception is that the same blotter design has to come from the same batch of acid. Is this actually true? Isn't anyone pretty much able to pick up any blotter design and lay it with whatever?

anyone can lay LSD on the popular prints. But i think, with the larger more established vendors here- its likely coming from the same top guys.

I think the dancing bears are euro blotter right? which have a very well known strength and lay. Particularly with the bigger vendors, they go through so much product, its unlikely they lay it themselves. People would realise as chances are they wouldnt be professionally doing it. Its got to be pretty hard to evenly lay the same dose and crystal on each blotter for every sheet.

Plus, most are from europe; so its not that unlikely it comes from the same places eventually.

but yeah, you and i could get a bottle- buy an unlaid sheet and put it on. Just it would probably end up uneven and unsimilar strength.

Indeed it's always a risk and you never really know with acid until you take it! but I am nervous about using silk road for the first time especially since the prices are high compared to "street" (unless you are in a terrible market of course)!

Here's the thing though, the print I was comparing it to had extremely detailed and precisely printed artwork.  Very very thin lines that I think would be hard to print without engraved metal plates or a very very high end laserjet (but I'm not an expert!)  But a shitty knockoff will clearly be a knockoff...

I've heard blank blotter was sometimes sold to people who have different crystals so you'd get different grades of the same art even at the highest levels but who knows?  Do you?

EDIT:  Wish I could edit my poll to ask more generally if it's good/the same as all other bears/well printed in general.

I don't remember exactly, but my 2 Dancing Bears (not from Lysander) were maybe half-pink on the back? They were around 100-120 I'd guess and quite nice.

I dropped half a tab last night and it was definitely some good acid. Good CEVs and no taste at all, can't wait to try 2!

Alright back with my review of the dancing bears. First let me say that I would agree with SRtraveler that they are not dosed as advertised, although I would still put the them close to 75-85 ug. Now as far as crystal quality I would say amber, that's my opinion. Experienced moderate body load but wasn't so bad it took from overall experience. Followed SRtravelers recommendation and took 3, and I would like to thank him for this advice. I was very happy with my first trip in 8 years, I experienced moderate visuals and some even more intense during peak, it was DEFINITELY lsd albeit a lower grade crystal. Overall I am happy with my experience and given the few minor drawbacks I would still order this product from lysander again as everything about transaction was lovely.
