Template:Short description Template:Cs1 config Template:Drugbox
AL-LAD, also known as 6-allyl-6-nor-LSD, is a psychedelic drug of the lysergamide family related to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).[1][2]
It was first described by 1976.[3] Subsequently, the drug was described by Alexander Shulgin in his 1997 book TiHKAL (Tryptamines i Have Known And Loved).[4] Later, AL-LAD was encountered as a novel designer recreational drug by 2015.[2][5]
Use and effects
AL-LAD is taken orally at similar doses as LSD, but has a slightly shorter duration of 6 to 8Script error: No such module "String".hours instead of 8 to 12Script error: No such module "String".hours.[4] While AL-LAD has subtly different effects than LSD, and appears to be slightly shorter-lasting, their potencies are similar;[6][7] an active dose of AL-LAD is reported to be between 50 and 150 micrograms.[8]

Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
AL-LAD was about 3.5-fold more potent than LSD in substituting for LSD in drug discrimination tests in rodents.[9][1][10] Conversely however, AL-LAD was similar in potency to LSD in humans.[8] In addition to drug discrimination, AL-LAD produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic-like effects, in rodents.[10] It was slightly less potent than LSD in producing the head-twitch response.[10]
Chemistry
AL-LAD does not cause a color change with the Marquis, Mecke or Mandelin reagents,[11] but does cause the Ehrlich's reagent to turn purple because of the presence of the indole moiety in its structure.
The drug is synthesized starting from nor-LSD as a precursor, using allyl bromide as a reactant.
History
AL-LAD was first described in the scientific literature by Japanese researchers in 1976.[2][3] Subsequently, it was studied by Andrew J. Hoffman and David E. Nichols in 1985.[12]

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.[21] 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
