"LSD is a laboratory-derived chemical that in its pure form is a liquid, without smell, color, or taste."I beg to differ. In it's pure form, LSD is a white crystalline solid.
"... dissolve the drug onto absorbent paper or sugar cubes ..."I think they mean drop the solution onto paper or cubes ...LSD would have already been disolved in water by that time.
It's amazing how psilocin is much more closely related to seretonin than LSD is,but LSD is by far more potent in its effects. Go figure ...
