Notes on Psychedelic ADSR Envelopes and Purity

ADSR envelopes will change slightly for any substance depending on dose and speed of absorption into the bloodstream, but beyond that they may also change depending on the purity of hallucinogen in question. For instance, if an LSD experience is described as "clean" this means the hallucinogenic interrupt is so subtle that it is almost invisible; this also implies purity of the LSD. In contrast, when an LSD experience is described as "dirty" or "jagged" this means the interrupt induces transitions in consciousness that are abrupt and unpleasant; this also implies the LSD is adulterated or has not been sufficiently purified in the synthesis process. Purity aside, it is widely accepted that if one batch of LSD induces a soft interrupt envelope with a wiggly and sensual attack, that same LSD should produce similar interrupt envelope in each person who takes it at the proper dose range. The same would be true for LSD that produces a jagged and abrupt attack; everyone who tries that batch should feel a similar jagged and abrupt interrupt envelope at the same dose range. If a pure sample set could be acquired it may be possible to model precise interrupt frequencies and ADSR envelopes for every known psychoactive substance.
