1-Cyclopropionyl-6-allyl-6-nor-lysergic acid diethylamide (also known commonly as 1cP-AL-LAD) is a novel psychedelic substance of the lysergamide class. 1cP-AL-LAD is closely related to AL-LAD, for which it is suspected to be a prodrug for, but there is currently no data or much anecdotal reports to confirm this.
1cP-AL-LAD is a novel research chemical which has probably first been produced by a small group of chemists which have also synthesized various other novel lysergamdîdes at the time alongside like 1cP-MiPLA, LSZ and LST in 2020 or 2021.[citation needed] There is very little proof for the validity of this claim.
User reports describe the effects of 1cP-AL-LAD as similar to those of AL-LAD. Some anecdotal reports state that there could be a notable, if even slight, difference between the two although this does not indicate that that it isn't a true prodrug for AL-LAD. Many effects seem to be identical or nearly identical, including a more manageable and lucid mental state, apparent visuals and dosage levels.
Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 1cP-AL-LAD. While it is often characterized by users as being generally more recreational and non-threatening compared to LSD, it is highly advised to approach this highly potent hallucinogenic substance with the proper amount of precaution and harm reduction practices if using it.
Chemistry
1cP-AL-LAD, or 1-Cyclopropionyl-6-allyl-6-nor-lysergic acid diethylamide, is a semisynthetic alkaloid of the lysergamide family. 1cP-AL-LAD is a structural analog of lysergic acid, with an N,N-diethylamide functional group bound to RN of the chemical structure. 1cP-AL-LAD's chemical structure contains a bicyclic hexahydroindole fused to a bicyclic quinoline group (nor-lysergic acid). Unlike LSD, 1cP-AL-LAD does not contain a methyl group substituted at R6 of its nor-lysergic acid skeleton, this is represented by the nor- prefix. Instead, 1cP-AL-LAD is substituted at R6 with an allyl group comprised of a methylene bridge bound to a vinyl substituent. It is also substituted at R1 with a Cyclopropionyl substituent. At carbon 8 of the quinoline a N,N-diethyl carboxamide is bound.
1cP-AL-LAD is a chiral compound with two stereocenters at R5 and R8. 1cP-AL-LAD, also called (+)-D-1cP-AL-LAD , has an absolute configuration of (5R, 8R). The three other stereoisomers of 1cP-AL-LAD presumably do not have psychoactive properties.[citation needed]
Pharmacology
1cP-AL-LAD likely acts as a 5-HT2A partial agonist. The psychedelic effects are believed to come from 1cP-AL-LAD's efficacy at the 5-HT2A receptors. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain an object of scientific elucidation.
1cP-AL-LAD is also suspected to be a prodrug for AL-LAD, given its 1-Cyclopropionyl substitution. This can be compared with 1cP-LSD, which is also likely a prodrug for LSD. However there is not enough data, anecdotes or guarantees that this will be the exact same property of 1cP-AL-LAD.
1cP-AL-LAD also shares many common traits with its parent compound LSD; in humans, it appears to be roughly equal (or less) in potency as well as similar in mechanism although the progression and duration of effects are compressed (while remaining qualitatively less intense and more manageable - perhaps due to being catabolised more readily).
Subjective effects
While its subjective effects largely overlap with those of AL-LAD or LSD, 1cP-AL-LAD is commonly reported to be significantly shorter in its duration and less uncomfortable in both its negative physical side effects and general anxiety. Some users have proposed that this compound could potentially serve as an effective introductory psychedelic, alongside other shorter-lasting and manageable psychedelics like 2C-B or 4-HO-MET.
Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.
It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.
Physical effects 
-
- Stimulation - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, 1cP-AL-LAD is regarded as being able primarily stimulating in nature in the same vein as LSD. This is in distinction to other, more commonly used psychedelics such as psilocybin which are more consistent in producing sedation and relaxedness.
- Spontaneous bodily sensations - The "body high" of 1cP-AL-LAD can be described as proportionally intense in comparison to its accompanying visual and cognitive effects. It behaves as a euphoric, fast-moving, sharp and location specific tingling sensation. For some, it is manifested spontaneously at different unpredictable points throughout the experience, but for most it maintains a steady presence that rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached. In comparison to LSD, it is a little less sharp in the tingling sensations it produces as but is otherwise essentially indistinguishable.
- Perception of bodily lightness - This component typically accompanies any feelings of stimulation that this compound can produce.
- Physical euphoria - It should be noted that this effect is not as reliably induceable as it is with substances like stimulants or entactogens, and can just as easily manifest as physical discomfort without any apparent reason.
- Changes in felt bodily form - This effect is often accompanied by a sense of warmth or unity and usually occurs during and up to the peak of the experience or directly afterward. Users can feel as if they are physically part of or conjoined with other objects. This is usually reported as feeling comfortable and peaceful in its sensations.
- Tactile enhancement - Feelings of enhanced tactile sensations are consistently present at moderate levels throughout most 1cP-AL-LAD trips. If level 8A geometry is reached, an intense sensation of suddenly becoming aware of and being able to feel every single nerve ending across a person's entire body all at once becomes consistently present.
- Temperature regulation suppression - This component can occur with the use of any lysergamide or psychedelic, but reports suggest it may be pronounced in 1cP-AL-LAD. It is highly advised that users of this compound, especially at heavier doses, monitor their bodily temperature and use techniques like hot showers or cold packs to regulate their core and brain temperature throughout the experience, and to generally always maintain proximity to a climate-controlled environment.
- Increased bodily temperature
- Nausea - Mild nausea is occasionally reported when this substance is consumed in moderate to high dosages, usually during the peak, and either passes soon after the user has vomited or gradually fades by itself as the peak sets in.
- Stamina enhancement - This is generally mild in comparison to traditional stimulants.
- Bodily control enhancement
- Appetite suppression
- Difficulty urinating
- Increased blood pressure
- Increased heart rate
- Increased perspiration
- Muscle contractions
- Muscle spasms
- Increased libido
- Excessive yawning - This effect is significantly less pronounced than it is with psilocybin and its related compounds, the four-position substituted tryptamines.
- Pupil dilation
- Increased salivation
- Seizure - This is an effect whose likelihood is largely extrapolated from the seizures that have been reported from the use of LSD. They are thought to mainly be a risk in those who are genetically predisposed to them, particularly while accompanied by physically taxing conditions such as dehydration, fatigue or undernourishment.
Visual effects 
-
Enhancements
Distortions
- Drifting (melting, breathing, morphing and flowing) - In comparison to other psychedelics, this effect can be described as highly detailed yet cartoon-like in appearance. The distortions are slow and smooth in motion and fleeting in their appearance. This is nearly identical in appearance to the visual drifting which occurs under the influence of LSD.
- After images
- Tracers
- Colour shifting
- Depth perception distortions
- Diffraction
- Scenery slicing
- Symmetrical texture repetition
Geometry
The visual geometry evoked by 1cP-AL-LAD can be described as more similar in appearance to that of LSD, 2C-B or 4-HO-MET than psilocin, LSA or DMT. It can be comprehensively described through its variations as primarily intricate in complexity, algorithmic in form, unstructured in organization, brightly lit, colourful and cartoonish in scheme, organic in feel, flat in shading, soft in its edges, large in size, slow in speed, smooth in motion, either angular or round in its corners, non-immersive in-depth and consistent in intensity. At higher dosages, it consistently results in states of Level 8B visual geometry over Level 8A.
In comparison to LSD specifically, 1cP-AL-LAD's geometry tends to be more rounded in its corners, slightly softer in its edges, warmer in hue, and slightly less intricate in its form. Aside from this, it is otherwise identical in its appearance.
Hallucinatory states
1cP-AL-LAD is capable of producing a full range of low and high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is a less consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used psychedelics such as psilocin or DMT but considerably more likely to when compared to that of LSD. This can feel similar to the hallucinations which occur with 4-AcO-DMT but tends to occur almost exclusively at heavier doses. Some of these effects include:
- Machinescapes
- Transformations
- Internal hallucination (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; perspective hallucinations and scenarios and plots) - This effect is very consistent in dark environments at appropriately high dosages. They can be comprehensively described through their variations as lucid in believability, interactive in style, new experiences in content, autonomous in controllability, geometry-based in style and occasionally of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme.
- External hallucination (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; perspective hallucinations and scenarios and plots)
Cognitive effects 
-
In comparison to other psychedelics such as psilocin, LSA and ayahuasca, 1cP-AL-LAD is significantly more stimulating and fast-paced in terms of the specific style of thought stream which it produces and contains a large number of potential effects associated with both psychedelic tryptamines and phenethylamines. In comparison to LSD, it is often reported to be less anxiety-provoking and generally more emotionally comfortable, forgiving andc.
The most prominent of these cognitive effects generally include:
- Analysis enhancement - This effect is consistent in its manifestation and outrospection dominant.
- Conceptual thinking
- Cognitive euphoria - This component is, generally speaking less consistent and pronounced than it is with substances like psilocybin and MDMA. The mental euphoria experienced on 1cP-AL-LAD is usually simply due to an enhancement of the user’s current psychological and emotional state coupled with its more regularly occurring effect, physical euphoria.
- Novelty enhancement
- Immersion enhancement
- Focus enhancement - This effect is experienced exclusively on low or threshold dosages and feels less forced than it does with stimulants.
- Immersion enhancement
- Motivation enhancement
- Emotion enhancement
- Increased music appreciation
- Increased sense of humor
- Memory suppression
- Time distortion
- Déjà vu
- Delusion
- Thought acceleration
- Thought loops
- Wakefulness
Auditory effects 
Multi-sensory effects 
-
- Synaesthesia - In its fullest manifestation, this is a very rare and non-reproducible effect. Increasing the dosage can increase the likelihood of this occurring, but seems to only be a prominent part of the experience among those who are already predisposed to synaesthetic states.
Combination effects
- Alcohol - Alcohol's central depressant effects can counteract some of the anxiety and bodily tension produced by 1cP-AL-LAD. However, alcohol can cause dehydration, nausea and physical fatigue which can negatively impact the tone of the trip. Users are advised to pace themselves and drink a portion of their usual amount.
- Benzodiazepines - Benzodiazepines are highly effective at reducing the intensity of 1cP-AL-LAD's effects through the general suppression of brain activity.
- Cannabis - Cannabis strongly intensifies the sensory and cognitive effects of 1cP-AL-LAD. Extreme caution is advised when using this combination as it can significantly increase the chances of a negative psychological reaction like anxiety, confusion and psychosis. Users are advised to start off with only a fraction of their usual cannabis dose and take long breaks between hits to avoid over intake.
- Dissociatives - 1cP-AL-LAD enhances the cognitive, visual and general hallucinatory effects of dissociatives. Dissociative-induced holes, spaces, and voids and internal hallucinations become more vivid and intense on 1cP-AL-LAD. These effects correspond with an increased risk of confusion, delusions, and psychosis.
- MDMA - 1cP-AL-LAD and MDMA are highly synergistic and mutually enhance each other's physical, cognitive, and visual effects. The synergy between these substances is unpredictable so it is advised to start with markedly lower doses than one would take for each individually. There is some evidence that suggests that co-administration of LSD with MDMA increases the neurotoxicity of the latter,[1][2][3] and this may extend to 1cP-AL-LAD.
Experience reports
There are currently 0 anecdotal reports which describe the effects of this compound within our experience index.
Toxicity and harm potential
The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 1cP-AL-LAD use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dose is unknown. This is because 1cP-AL-LAD is a research chemical with very little history of human usage.
The body of anecdotal reports suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the substance by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). Independent research should always be done 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 1cP-AL-LAD exposure. Although no formal studies have been conducted, it is likely that as with LSD itself, 1cP-AL-LAD is able to be considered non-addictive, with an extremely low toxicity relative to dose.[4] It is also likely that as with LSD, there are little to no negative physical, cognitive, psychiatric or other toxic consequences associated with acute 1cP-AL-LAD exposure.
However, as with LSD and psychedelics in general, it is possible that 1cP-AL-LAD can act as a potential trigger for those with underlying psychiatric conditions. Those with a personal or family history of mental illness are generally advised not to use this substance, particularly outside of a supervised medical setting.
It is strongly recommended that one uses harm reduction practices when using this substance.
Tolerance and addiction potential
Although no formal studies have been conducted, it is not unreasonable to assume that as with LSD itself, 1cP-AL-LAD is not habit-forming and that the desire to use it can actually decrease with use.
Tolerance to the effects of 1cP-AL-LAD is built almost immediately after ingestion. After that, it takes about 5-7 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 14 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 1cP-AL-LAD presents cross-tolerance with all psychedelics, meaning that after the use of 1cP-AL-LAD all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.
Overdose
The LD50 of 1cP-AL-LAD is unknown. Adverse psychological reactions are common especially at higher dosages. Some of these include anxiety, delusions, panic attacks and more rarely seizures. Medical attention is usually only needed if suspected of severe psychotic episodes or “fake acid” (such as 25i-NBOMe or DOB). Administration of benzodiazepines or antipsychotics can help to relieve the negative cognitive effects of 1cP-AL-LAD.
Dangerous interactions
Warning: Many psychoactive substances that are reasonably safe to use on their own can suddenly become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with certain other substances. The following list provides some known dangerous interactions (although it is not guaranteed to include all of them).
Always conduct independent research (e.g. Google, DuckDuckGo, PubMed) to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume. Some of the listed interactions have been sourced from TripSit.
- Lithium - Lithium is commonly prescribed for the treatment of bipolar disorder. There is a large body of anecdotal evidence that suggests taking it with psychedelics significantly increases the risk of psychosis and seizures. As a result, this combination is strictly discouraged.
- Cannabis - Cannabis may have an unexpectedly strong and unpredictable synergy with the effects of 1cP-AL-LAD. Caution is advised with this combination as it can significantly increase the risk of adverse psychological reactions like anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks, and psychosis. Users are advised to start off with only a fraction of their normal cannabis dose and take long breaks between hits to avoid unintentional overdose.
- Stimulants - Stimulants like amphetamine, cocaine or methylphenidate affect many parts of the brain and alter dopaminergic function. This combination can increase the risk of anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks, and thought loops. This interaction may also result in an elevated risk of mania and psychosis.[citation needed]
- Tramadol - Tramadol is well-documented to lower the seizure threshold[5] and psychedelics may act to trigger seizures in susceptible individuals.[citation needed]
Legal status
1cP-AL-LAD is currently a gray area compound within many parts of the world. This means that it is not known to be specifically illegal within most countries, but people may still be charged for its possession under certain circumstances such as under analog laws and with the intent to sell or consume.
- Austria: 1cP-AL-LAD is technically not illegal but it may fall in the NPSG (Neue-Psychoaktive-Substanzen-Gesetz Österreich) as an analogue of LSD.[citation needed]
- Germany: 1cP-AL-LAD is illegal in Germany as of July 2021.[citation needed]
- Switzerland: 1cP-AL-LAD can be considered a controlled substance as a defined derivative of Lysergic Acid under Verzeichnis E point 263. It is legal when used for scientific or industrial use.[6]
- United States: 1cP-AL-LAD is unscheduled but can be considered to be an analogue of LSD, which would make it illegal to possess for human consumption under the Federal Analogue Act.[citation needed]
