AL-LAD, also known as 6-allyl-6-nor-LSD, is a psychedelic drug and an analog of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).[2] It is described by Alexander Shulgin in the book TiHKAL (Tryptamines i Have Known And Loved). It is synthesized starting from nor-LSD as a precursor, using allyl bromide as a reactant.

Effects in humans

AL-LAD on blotter paper

While AL-LAD has subtly different effects than LSD, and appears to be slightly shorter lasting, their potencies are similar;[3][4] an active dose of AL-LAD is reported to be between 50 and 150 micrograms.[5] AL-LAD has a known but short and highly uncommon history of recreational human use, which originated in Ireland and the UK, but spread internationally.[citation needed]

Chemistry

AL-LAD does not cause a color change with the Marquis, Mecke or Mandelin reagents,[6] but does cause the Ehrlich's reagent to turn purple because of the presence of the indole moiety in its structure.

Legal status

AL-LAD is not scheduled by the United Nations ' Convention on Psychotropic Substances.[7]

Denmark

AL-LAD is illegal in Denmark.[8]

Finland

Listed in a decree of the government's psychoactive substances banned from the consumer market.[9][10]

Latvia

AL-LAD is possibly illegal in Latvia. Although it isn't specifically scheduled, it may be controlled as an LSD structural analog due to an amendment made on June 1, 2015.[11]

Sweden

The Riksdag added AL-LAD to Narcotic Drugs Punishments Act under Swedish schedule I ("substances, plant materials and fungi which normally do not have medical use" ) as of January 26, 2016, published by Medical Products Agency (MPA) in regulation HSLF-FS 2015:35 listed as 6-allyl-6-nor-LSD, AL-LAD, and 6-allyl-N,N-dietyl-9,10-didehydroergolin-8-karboxamid.[12]

Switzerland

AL-LAD is illegal in Switzerland.[13]

United Kingdom

AL-LAD is illegal in the UK. On June 10, 2014 the UK Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) recommended that AL-LAD be specifically named in the UK Misuse of Drugs Act as a class A drug despite not identifying any harm associated with its use.[14] The UK Home office accepted this advice and announced a ban of the substance to be enacted on 6 January 2015 as part of The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2014.

United States

AL-LAD is a Controlled Substance at the federal level in the United States ,[15] AL-LAD is legally considered an analog of LSD, therefore, sales or possession with intent for human consumption could be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act.[16]
