if you don't know who pickard is, he's one of, if not THE biggest LSD producers this country has ever seen.
anywho, i was reading the rolling stone article about pickards arrest froma several years ago. it mentioned pickard living in a commune in austin in the early/mid 70's, right around the time he synthisized MDA. he did this to get around the fact that MDMA was already illegal.
the reason i bring this up is because my dad used to tell me about when he lived in austin, in the early/mid 70's, some of his friends were making MDA. now, none of these people were pickard, but at that particular time, no one knew about MDA. the only people that knew about it were the people that pickard had turned on to it.
this may be coincidence, but after reading that article, it got me thinking that its possible that the MDA that my dad was doing at the time, may have been pickards recipe. like i said earlier, the only people that knew about MDA, or people that were making it, were people that had direct contact with pickard.
i thought it was pretty cool, so i thought i'd share with you guys.

MDMA was banned in 1985.
My friend Binnie used to rent a yoga studio in San Francisco, and the guy next door was Pickard. One day he said "Want to hear something crazy? Don't tell anyone." He proceeded to tell my friend about an acid lab in a missile silo. This was a couple years before the bust. Binnie was like...ok....didn't really know if it was true or not until it hit the news.

i thought the same thing, but in the article, it said he synthesized it to get around the laws that were already in place.

pretty cool story. odd that he would tell someone randomly about it. plus, the article said that the silo was supposed to be a psychadelic temple, but turned into an ego driven temple for skinner. the lab had been discussed for years by pickard and skinner, but never got rolling because skinner was freaking out pickard with his narcotics-driven actions. once pickard finally came to kansas to set up shop, skinner had already rolled over on him, so the DEA was waiting for him.

Haha, this could be the official "cast doubt on the previous posters pickard story thread".
Since you bring that up, my story does seem somewhat unlikely. Though I have no idea what the timeframe was so it is possible.
Also, this is kind of funny:

i'm not saying its unlikely, just odd. but then again, theres alot of talk in that article about pickard randomly running his mouth about things.

Back in the prohibition days my great grandpa ran one of the biggest Italian restaurants in Columbus. Every Christmas, after the wine starts to flow, my grandpa (his son) talks about his dad's friend Al, and the good old days when they ran the business.
