Absorption of LSD through the skin

This is one thing I can't find an answer to. Some people say it doesn't work like that, some people claim it has happened to them and then there's Nick Sand who basically painted his arm in LSD + DMSO and felt no effects. I know it could be absorbed through an open wound or cut but this hasn't been the case for a lot of people claiming it happened to them.
So what's the verdict on this one?

i cant say first hand. and i have personally never asked this guy if the story is true. but im pretty sure it is.
one of my better friends has a brother who is like 10-15 years older than he is. hes cool as hell, ive chilled with him on multiple occasions. he used to get liquor and bud for my buddy and i when we were like 13.
anyway, this brother of my friend at one point sold acid, and had some in a dropper in his pocket. it in some way or another got opened and a good amount of it squirted onto his leg, and he ended up sitting in his house all day tripping balls.
this story was related to me by my friend, not his brother. so it isnt directly from who it supposedly happened to, but i dont doubt it. i dont think my buddy would just pull shit out of his ass like that.

i don't have any real evidence, but i would say it works. someone who has more knowledge in chemistry than me could probably say.

Hendrix would put tabs under his bandanna and the acid laced sweat would get in his eyes and he would trip that way.
I believe it can be absorbed through skin, especially if it is crystal.

I never really thought about it, but it's not impossible that he somehow ingested it without even noticing. He wasn't super high or anything the first time, and it doesn't take much to get you noticing effects.

how did he know it was psychoactive like that prior to having tried it?
i think the first time was on accident. after that it was on purpose.

Hoffman's find was very good for Sandoz and was a successful drug for years in the treatment of mental illness.
He got a tiny bit on his skin and a minor short trip.
The next day he ingested 200 micrograms and took a bike ride home which was the first ever intentional LSD trip.

Somebody around here said a while ago that Hofmann actually intended to find a powerful psychedelic by synthesizing LSD. If this is true it's easy to see why he would feel a need to make an excuse to set his boss and professional peers at ease.
I've heard lots of second- and third-hand stories about LSD absorbing from the skin, but nothing first-hand, so I'm inclined to say the odds of it actually not being possible are pretty high.
