http://www.justice.gov/dea/resource-center/DIR-017-13%20NDTA%20Summary%20final.pdf
There are lots of drugs contained within this PDF, worth mentioning. LSD was no where to be found in mention in the entirety of the article. i wont post the maps showing the % of prevalence of various drugs in US regions, they are contained within the PDF.
Quote:
2013 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary
Outlook
The implementation of legislation to curb the diversion of CPDs (controlled prescription drugs) through pill mills will likely force abusers and distributors to obtain CPDs in other areas of the country where little or no legislation currently exists, thereby exacerbating the CPD threat in those areas, or in other countries such as Canada and Mexico. Additionally, the proliferation of online pharmacies that dispense CPDs without prescriptions will continue to be a concern for law enforcement.
The US wholesale heroin market will remain in flux for the near term as Mexican traffickers attempt to expand control over certain markets and gain entry to others. It is likely that Mexican traffickers will continue to expand into lucrative white heroin markets by increasing their own access to white heroin and, to a lesser extent, attempting to introduce Mexican brown and black tar heroin into eastern US heroin markets.
Trends in Colombian cocaine production will continue to affect US cocaine availability in the near term. Colombia is well-established as the primary source for cocaine distribution in the United States. Further, law enforcement efforts in source and transit countries as well as the United States combined with a decrease in domestic demand will contribute to reduced availability, a situation which is unlikely to change in the immediate future.
Methamphetamine will remain highly pure as the gap between potency and purity continues to narrow; prices will remain low. With the inflow of high-quality Mexico-produced methamphetamine, large-scale domestic production will continue to diminish; however, it will not disappear.
TCOs and criminal groups will increasingly exploit the opportunities for marijuana cultivation and trafficking created in states that allow “medical marijuana” grows and have legalized marijuana sales and possession. Marijuana abuse levels will increase over the next decade, particularly if its use continues to be increasingly accepted by adolescents.
The threat posed by synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic cathinones will most likely continue to increase. The chemical make-up of these drugs often differs by only one compound. As DEA exercises its scheduling authority to control certain substances, producers will quickly change the chemical component of the newly banned substance to create a new one.
the DEA just showed that their operations really don't have that much of an effect on the illegal drug trade.

WTF is that supposed to mean? Sounds like it was written by someone with no clue what they're talking about.

Interesting document
I would be so depressed if I worked for the DEA. I'm sure they know that they are working a job with no end in sight and no chance of winning either.

The threat assessment made me feel threatened. I will stop doing drugs now. Okay, that moment has passed now let's party!

I think a fair amount of them are so delusional as to actually think they are having a positive impact on the worlds state of affairs.

Some pill mill operators also attempt to counter law enforcement surveillance of repeat patients. For example, some clinics offer free shuttle service and advise patients to meet at pick-up locations, such as local hotels, for further transportation to the clinic. At the pick-up locations, the patients are met by individuals driving large passenger vehicles or even rental cargo trucks and are subsequently driven to the clinic. Additionally, some pill mills in the Tampa, FL area offer patients free visits for referring new patients to the clinic.
Lulzzz
In Florida, these "pill mills" are the only places where the doctors have the courage to alleviate the excruciating pains of elderly people often inflicted with arthritis. They have to take precautions because the DEA hassles them for no fucking reason. Yeah. People retire in Florida, get old and die in Florida, but all the DEA sees is oh they're selling lots of pain pills. It's because a lot of people are in fucking pain you piece of shit pigs.

Probably wasn't mentioned because of it isn't confiscated in the quantities that the other drugs are. I didn't see mescaline on the list either. Or DMT...

Sure people get busted for lsd and shrooms often enough, but they generally aren't confiscating that stuff by the truck load.

I think you and i both would be surprised.
i went digging for info and found:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10795133#10795133
"LSD, when diluted and applied to paper, begins to degrade quickly, necessitating a high rate of product turnover. As a result, “stash” houses containing large quantities of the drug, common in the traffic of cocaine and marijuana, seldom are encountered by drug law enforcement authorities."
"Large amounts of LSD have been seized by drug law enforcement authorities during the last several years, and numerous distributors have been arrested and convicted. Those at the upper echelon, however, continue to evade the law. These individuals appear to run an efficient and profitable operation that is difficult to penetrate."
i cant quote the entire thing, its huge. but its so packed with juicy information!

Most 'LSD' isn't actual LSD
those are labeled as 'Designer Drugs'. I'm sure the DEA is well aware of all the LSD mimics out on the market today.
