Where does LSD come from?

Well said!

 

Would you mind telling us what agency you're with and your badge number?

I don't know Krystle but I did know the Bear and find her claims a bit stretchyyyyy. I know for a fact Bear enjoyed showing up at 'family' parties with a bottle of pure lsd and an eye dropper.:sunny: Who was Bear?.........

That sounds pretty weak actually.
1 gram crystal=10,000 doses@~100ugs per.

but I guess you could get ~200 droppers full @ 100 drops per out of a gallon titrated too 100ugs per dose.
So yeah, your right, about 2 grams crystal for a gallon of liquid = ~ 20,000 doses.


*the above post is the result of Skywalker OG hash and some stellar honey oil, so please forgive me *

 

In the '60s on rhe west coast the standard was 4000 hits +/- 350 mics each. I knew Bear and his blotter mechanics. They were close family.

 

I was using 200 mics as a dose, I still coulda fucked up the math lol
It's a lot of doses regardless...

...ever see that 70's comedy/crime movie with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn ( think it was called "Dollars) there was this part where these dudes were smuggling liquid LSD in champagne bottles mixed in with the gift netbags on passenger flights, a drunk dude got hold of one, popped the cork and slugged back a couple of giant gulps.. he passed out instantly of course lol.

 

LSD is a drug and just like all drugs, swiy would aquire it from someone who has already aquired the drug. Right? Am I right?

 

I am sure there a big operations making a lot of the lsd that goes around, maybe some secret labs somewhere.

But their are probably a lot of small families who have gained access to the right materials for making it, and they probably spread it throughout the towns intermingled with the labs lsd.

I would like to say based on what I've read and experienced people seem to treat lsd with a little more respect then other substances. Now there are some people in the world that just see lsd as another drug and another way of making money. But the families who generate it and originally let it out have the utmost respect for it.

I have read about people having to take lsd with the family and have to be sworn in or take place in some spiritual communion. Its a very brotherly love kind of trust. They might still be making money, but a lot of them have had genuine life changing experiences and would love to share that experience with the world.

 

how come everybody fails to mention what it is actually made from?
It is from the mold off of rye!! Man im disappointed in these "hippies".

 

Or you could do what I'd assume lots of people are doing and start with LSA. Cuts off a lot of steps involving the ergot fungus, thus time and money. However, the people I know in the chemistry department didn't seem to know of that kind of synthesis until I told them.

 

No it doesn't.
It is synthesized from ergot, a fungus, not a mold, that infects rye grains.
Although most manufactures of LSD would almost certainly use some other pre-cursor, Ergotamine Tartrate being the most commonly used, but it is problematic as ergotamine is also a closely controlled substance.

 

I read somewhere that LSD was brought to the market by the CIA.

Here is an article:

http://healthland.time.com/2012/03/23/the-legacy-of-the-cias-secret-lsd-experiments-on-america/

 

If you run a careful Google search there is at least one country where E.T. is an over the counter no scrip item.

 

The article is not saying that...it's talking about the secret LSD tests the CIA did on the public and others.

I actually know a guy who's dad was a military psychiatrist that was involved in administering covert acid tests on enlisted dudes...he's fucked up from remorse to this day.

When LSD first hit the streets it came from people connected with the university's that were conducting above ground tests at the time on volunteers. Prior to 1966, LSD was legal and could be ordered from Sandoz laboratories.

 

Right zombiewolf! thank you for your feedback.

 

true, medication for migraines. Problem is that it isn't in a form that would easily lend itself for use as a pre-cursor, binders, dyes.etc., and the amount of ergotamine is rather small.
For LSD manufacture I'm sure the lab would want pure ET and in multi kilo quantities.

 

Oral history (and experience) would tend to lead one to believe if you're south enough of the border and it's available over the counter it can be had in what ever purity and quanity one desires with the correct application of mordida.

 

true

 

CIA and LSD fun facts according to Craked.com



http://www.cracked.com/blog/five-fun-facts-about-the-cia-and-lsd/

It all started in the early 1950s, when a double agent named Jozef Cardinal Mindszenty was tried for treason in Russia. During the trial, American agents happened to notice that Josef was, to put it modestly, high as a fucking kite. Rather than just chalking it up to Jozef being the spy version of that kid who got high before high school, the US agents figured pretty quickly that he had been doped into testifying by the Russians. Fearing a "larger scale drug attack" (like some sort of like, weed...bazooka, man?) the CIA launched an extensive, decades long research program focused on LSD. The chief goal? Fucking mind control. No really, here's an actual line taken from an interdepartmental memo revealed to Congress:

"Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature, such as self preservation?"

Rough translation: "Can we get someone so high that they'll kill themselves if we ask nicely enough?"

Christ! That statement is so ominous it had to be written with one hand while the other ominously stroked a white cat. This program, named Project MK-ULTRA, (which sounds more like something Godzilla would fight than a top-secret government initiative) was an umbrella program, meaning it encompassed a number of sub-projects, most of them seemingly conceived by a Hollywood screenwriter. One experiment involved trying to drug CIA agents with enough LSD to completely wipe their memories upon retirement, thus erasing all traces of potentially classified knowledge--hey, just like Men in Black! Just slightly less "jiggy" and a tad more "suicidally delirious."

CIA Mother of the Hippie Culture?



​

 

I've seen that vice insider thing on neurosoup and stuff. Pretty brilliant
I think her boyfriend was responsible for 90% of all acid in the world, at the time.
There are few lsd labs as big as said lab, but there are many small/medium ones around now.
I'm not sure if it is fact, but i bet it would be super easy to cut up a piece of paper, put the pieces in baggies and sell them for 10 bucks a "tab".
Definitely in the USA.

 

^^yeah that would be pretty easy (if you didn't have a conscience)
