Yes I do think it is far fetched and the fact that you are bringing God and Adam and Eve into this is even more far fetched.

Yeah, too bad -- those had to have been some big busts, no?

First the dates wrong Mountainview seizure was 1988. Second, the DEA site is going to have virtually nothing on this, trust me I've searched it for years. The idea that 3 of the 4 complete LSD lab seizures in DEA history, as is claimed, involved Pickard and Apperson is just laughable. Yes Pickard got caught in 1988 in Mountainview. And yes they were also caught in 2000 but if you read the court documents of the 2000 Pickard case it mentions nothing of this seizure in Oregon in 1996. Actually one of Pickard's main defenses was that it had been over 10 years since he had been caught manufacturing LSD and he had been an upstanding citizen since including being a snitch on potentially much more harmful drugs. Apperson's main defense was he has never been associated with manufacturing illicit substances. Even though it's known that in the 1988 Mountainview bust the mescaline that was recovered was TOTALLY synthesized by him, the forensic chemists claimed it was the biggest mescaline crystals they had ever seen. Apperson was supposed to be the master total synthesis.
Now they did have a lab in Oregon in 1996 but just for a little bit before moving to Aspen. Then they subsequently moved the lab to Santa Fe, New Mexico then to the vertical missile silo, can't remember the name, and then to the Wamego silo.
If you can provide me information on these two other FULL LAB SEIZURES besides the Mountainview and Wamego bust I would love to see the source information?

Cole's take on the matter. I actually sort of believe her. Skinner was freaking out and basically turned in Pickard for no good reason. It wouldn't surprise me if he was manipulating her as well, at least to some extent.
Whatever the case I feel like Pickard sure got a raw deal. He was doing all the chemistry work and Skinner seemed to toss him to the DEA and walk away free and clear. Only even then he still couldn't keep his shit together.
Man though, I been tripping with low level dealers and it's gotten kind of scary thinking about the police busting them at that exact moment. Imagine being out of your mind for days and days while the people you are with really are working with the government, cutting deals, talking to high level DEA and shit. Damn it would be freaky.

Also, in the link I posted I find it interesting when Cole says that the only reason they even took down Pickard was because Skinner was freaking out and forced them to do it.

Cole is a bold faced liar. There's a reason she pled the 5th in the Pickard case. Also her story of being an innocent little girl is just garbage. She knew what she was doing and she WAS manipulating many.

Lot Justice is on to something. God is everything you can/cannot sense and more. Everything is/has spirit including LSD, the chair I'm sitting in and the oatmeal I'm eating. You might not believe it or understand but that doesn't matter. You have your whole life to realize what you are and your relationship to what created you.

I don't really know what you are arguing about, they are all pieces of sit either way.
My point is the DEA says, "DEA agents seized approximately 41.3 kilograms (90.86 pounds) of LSD, approximately 97.5 kilograms (214.5 pounds) of lysergic acid, a precursor to LSD, approximately 23.6 kilograms (51.92 pounds) of iso-LSD, a by-product from the manufacture of LSD and 19 kilograms (41.8 pounds) of ergocristine, a precursor to LSD with the ability to create an additional 12.4 kilograms (27.28 pounds of LSD." The problem with this is that at Pickard's Nov. 20, 2003, sentencing hearing, DEA forensic chemist McKibben testified that, "The actual amount of all the exhibits containing LSD was 198.9 grams of LSD," or about 7 ounces of LSD.
So the fact they say, "there have only been four seizures of complete LSD labs and three of these seizures involved Pickard and Apperson including a lab in Mountainview, California in 1988, a lab in Oregon in 1996, and this lab in Wamego, Kansas" means absolutely nothing to me.....
Based on this information and the fact that there is ZERO documentation on the Oregon lab bust in 1996 and if you read the court documents from the 2000 Pickard case it mentions nothing of this seizure in Oregon in 1996. And Pickard's main defense was that he hadn't produced illicit drugs since 1988 at Mountainview. If he was caught with a full lab in 1996 then his defense would have been POINTLESS.
And again the Mountainview bust was in 1988 not 1998 despite what the DEA website says.

Any support I had for Pickard ended the day I found out he was a rat. If I got busted for weed/lsd/mush/dmt I would never rat on the local crack dealer. You are helping the drug war, the whole evil system by doing that. This asshole says he only ratted on meth labs, what a joke. He ratted for one reason: to save himself. If your lab gets busted you fucked up, its your fault. Don't go ratting because you didn't do it right.

In time, Pickard's neighbors in Redwood City complained about chemical odors wafting from his apartment. Sheriff's deputies who knocked on the door on October loth, 1977, discovered a functioning drug lab in the basement. Alan Johnson, chief inspector at the Santa Cruz district attorney's office, interviewed the young chemist. "I had a delightful conversation with Leonard," Johnson says. "He struck me as a really bright kid. He was dressed in a little V-neck sweater. He was a little preppy.
"We're talking about a whole different culture back then," Johnson recalls. "Today's cookers just get a recipe from some criminal. They mix a little of this and a little of that. They don't really know what they're doing. This fellow was trying to change the MDMA to make it legal. He was making the argument, and it was a new argument, that he's manufacturing an analogue."
Ultimately, Leonard's analogue argument failed. In 1978, while taking chemistry classes at Stanford, he was found guilty of attempting to manufacture a controlled substance, a felony, and served eighteen months of a three-year sentence. In a letter from prison, Pickard offered up an elaborate excuse, denying that he had been brewing illegal drugs. He claims that he was busted after he was trying to sell some lab gear that had once belonged to a Brotherhood of Eternal Love chemist, gear that contained traces of MDA.
Quote:
Incarceration didn't seem to quell his fascination with clandestine chemistry. In February i98o, not long after his release, police in Gainesville, Georgia, arrested Leonard Pickard for making amphetamines. A few months later, in June, authorities in Deland, Florida, pinched him for distributing MDA, the Ecstasy analogue. No threat of imprisonment, it seemed, could interfere with Leonard's quest to liberate the collective mind. "I believe it was genuine, his belief that psychedelics were helpful," says Rick Doblin, a Harvard Ph.D. who is leading the effort to have Ecstasy approved for clinical study in the United States, and an acquaintance of Pickard's. "I think he was after money, but he had a romantic notion about the value of psychedelics, like a lot of us do."
123,278 PILLS AND 89,802 TABS
Quote:
In 1988, Pickard was sentenced to eight years in California's Terminal Island Prison. Released early, in 1992, he went to live at the Zen Center, on Page Street in San Francisco, and came under the wing of the center's spiritual leader, Blanche Hartman, better known as the Abbess. "She took my hand when I left prison," Pickard said. "I lived there for two years as a monk."
I'm assuming he kept feeding the DEA information, and its quite possible the only people that knew about the Oregon bust were Pickard and the people that busted him. Just cause there isn't proof of it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Adam and Eve is an allegory in this instance, just one choice among many possible creation myths, the choice reflecting certain things about me personally.
What does Adam and Eve have to do with LSD? A lot.
Yes, I do believe everything has a spirit. What comes next is whether you believe there is a hierarchy in the spirit world much like the christian conception of God>angels>saints>humans?animals/plants>in animates
Isn't LSD an inanimate? would be the next question. Yes. But it's my belief that the sheer amount of energy it releases within an individual has quickly caused the generation of a spirit of LSD (if you want, you can call it an guardian angel of LSD or an archa ngel, or a fucking yogi, or a motherfucking shift manager of LSD labels are labels)
Humans are so many clusters of vibrations. when "seen" a certain way, our cluster of vibrations are perceived as strands of luminosity. From the vibration can arise color, and some people can claim to see "auras"; this is perceiving the energy from the vibrations as a field of color surrounding the luminous individual. It's not quite seeing things as they are, but it's certainly a step up from seeing things as everyone else sees them. They're windows 95; aura seers are windows 98.
Anyways, aura seers who are fortunate to witness a normal individual get dosed up on some family L will see the the vibrancy and size of the persons aura feel fucking explode. The vibrations rocket with energy, a healthy sort of vibrant energy, very natural. Not like somebody who's tweaked on meth; they obviously have a lot of energy, and yet their auras look as if they're about to keel over and die any minute.
Anyways, this explosion of energy is within the dosed individuals, I think it's definitely going somewhere. I can look up and see the veins in the sky and feel as if this Earth, perhaps this universe, is very much a single entity and that our societies are like collections of cells, some cancerous, and some the best white blood cells one can be. Each person on an LSD trip who gives freely of their positive energy is like the most vin diesel badass motherfucking cell ever, fucking doing superhuman shit, releasing crazy energy, helping the universe out.
The universe is an intelligent motherfucker. It's like the intuition of the body. Give the body potent medicine and some sort of loop get's translated into consciousness, an association; "This is truely powerful stuff, I must use it wisely"
Anybody on the shroomery will tell you that shit can get pretty haywire really quick with good, good medicine "KRATOM ALL DAY EVERY DAY"
An all out fiend fest isn't going to be good. The universe knows what will happen if the wrong people are representing LSD. It's micromanaged by creating the spirit of LSD; a hardnosed motherfucker who is out for an impeccable reputation, or the closest thing possible to an impeccable reputation when the DEA and media have a habitual tendency to trash talk you every time you rear your head
LSD is spiderman and the DEA/Media is John Jameson at the Daily Bugle, being an old crinkly motherfucker
or maybe I've had too much coffee

Yes, that's good and all, and I hear what you are saying, I even relate when I am dosed. But that's it, for me those are just random l thoughts/ramble I would say that acid has a certain feel or vibe to it, an electric energy that is UN unmistakable.

The two prominent myths about LSD I once bought into: 1. LSD is manufactured by some holy order of saintlike characters who only have the most altruistic and loving intentions. 2. Precursors are hopelessly inacessable and synthesis is performed by only the most talented post-doctorate chemists.
