BU-LAD, also known as 6-butyl-6-nor-LSD or '6-butyl-6-nor-lysergic acid diethylamide', is a psychedelic drug and analogue of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) first described by David E. Nichols and colleagues in the 1980s.

==Use and effects== According to Alexander Shulgin in his book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved), BU-LAD is a psychedelic drug similar to LSD, but is significantly less potent than LSD, with a dose of 500μg orally producing only mild effects.
