Blotter (/ˈblɒtər/), derived from the English word "blot", is a term used in various fields, but in the medical context, it refers to a sheet of absorbent paper used in drug administration, particularly for psychedelic substances like LSD.
Etymology
The term "blotter" comes from the English word "blot", which means to soak up or absorb liquid. This is reflective of the blotter paper's primary function, which is to absorb and hold substances for later use.
Usage in Medicine
In the medical field, blotter paper is often used in the administration of certain drugs, particularly psychedelic substances. The drug is typically applied to the blotter paper in a solution, and the paper is then allowed to dry. When the user wishes to take the drug, they can simply place the blotter paper in their mouth, allowing the drug to be absorbed through the mucous membranes.
Blotter paper is most commonly associated with the psychedelic drug LSD. LSD is typically applied to blotter paper in a solution, and the paper is then cut into small, individual doses. This method of administration allows for precise dosing and easy transportation of the drug.
