ALD-52 Stats & Data

Forked from Subjective Effect Documentation work by Josie Kins, August 2016. Via dose.wiki (CC0).

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational ALD-52 use do not appear to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because ALD-52 is a research chemical with a very limited history of human use. Anecdotal evidence from people within the community who have tried ALD-52 suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (although nothing can be completely guaranteed). Independent research should always be conducted to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption. As with other psychedelic substances, there are relatively few physical side effects that have been reported associated with acute ALD-52 exposure.

Effects aggregated from 18 experience reports (13 single-substance Erowid + 5 Bluelight)

Each bar is the share of reports mentioning the effect; its whisker, and the band on the rows below, is the 95% interval: where the share could plausibly be with other reports of the same kind.

Too few reports for bars: these effects come from 13 single-substance Erowid and 5 analyzed Bluelight reports, and a bar is drawn only from 20 reports or more. With fewer, a percentage cannot tell a common effect from a rare one. Counts are shown instead. Why 20?

Also reported in combinations. In the 18 ALD-52 reports where another drug was taken too, 4 mention hospital, emergency services or an overdose, 0 a seizure and 1 psychosis (too few reports for percentages). In the 13 single-substance reports: 4, 0 and 1. These are not in the figures above: they cannot be put down to ALD-52 alone, and a mention is not always something that happened to the writer.

Dose distribution from experience reports, one dose per report (the first listed). Doses above Q3 + 3×IQR, far above what people typically take, are left out of the median and range and listed under each route: most are real heavy doses or overdoses, not mistakes.

From 32 of 36 recorded dose entries: those that state a weight (mg, g or µg), in routes with at least five of them. Values above Q3 + 3×IQR, far above what people typically take, are left out; they can include real heavy doses and overdoses, not only mistakes.

Most co-occurring substances, as a share of all 31 reports filed under ALD-52; whiskers are 95% intervals

Most common forms and preparations, as a share of the 23 reports that give one; whiskers are 95% intervals

Dose per kg of body weight, one dose per report (the first listed), from reports giving a weight of 30–250 kg. Doses above Q3 + 3×IQR, far above what people typically take, are left out of the median and range and listed under each route.
