Ergot is so easy to find growing on various types on wild grass. Just look for grainy grasses. I usually find it in late summer to early autumn, and actually found some on some very long grass. I pick the top part of the grass that has it and put it in a plastic bag, so avoiding actually touching the sclerota. I also noticed these little red bugs actually mating on the sclerota, and some just sitting solitary on them.
        I have read that insects eat the honeydew stuff that the sclerota exude, which they get stuck on them and infects other grains that they land on by spreading the ergot infection via the honeydew stuff. This makes it easy to find the ergot. Pretty much every piece of grass that had these insects on, carried ergot sclerota. It doesnt take long to collect a reasonable amount of Ergot. A simple LSA extraction will give you what you need as starting material. From there the chemicals are obviously needed. 

I read that car starter fluid is diethyl ether, but this needs to be proven. But with the diethyl ether, it must be possible to make into diethyl amine using maybe ammonia with sulphuric acid as a catalyst?

Just my 0.000000000001 penny's worth..

It's not possible to the average person, the process requires access to a full lab, not just backyard equipment. Cooking meth or MDMA isn't even comparable to the process involved in creating acid.
junkies can cook both XTC and methamphetamine, acid? no way. 

Some estimates put it as high as $100,000 just for the equipment needed.
One of the hardest parts being that the process needs to be completed in different stages of light (like a photolab)

the precursors are possible to get with connections, but you'll need alot of money to secure enough for you to even ATTEMPT to create LSD. by this I mean, it most certainly will take you a few batches to make acid right, if you manage to at all, and each time your probably going to lose a few thousand dollars, possibly 10s of thousands of dollars just through trial and error.

and even if you do manage to get to this stage, theres still the fact that LSD is an extremely unstable chemical, that can be completely changed (be completely inactive) if the tinyest little thing goes wrong with the process.
Experienced org chemists with years under their belts still have alot of trouble with LSD, due to its unstability, it can degrade very quickly. especially in the production process.
there are many stages throughout the making of LSD, where the smallest error can destroy the batch entirely. 

The only way I can see it happening is if a person has

-Access to in between $100,000-500,000
-A few years of Organic Chem under their belt
-access to a full lab, undisturbed.
-a source for precursors
and last of all, a shit load of luck.
