the need for a return of authentic LSD
    #21728512 - 05/27/15 12:19 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

LSD production and use has greatly decreased in recent times, and though compounds such as psilocybin containing fungi and DMT extractions and DMTMAOI containing teas as well as trichocereus pachanoi cacti growth and consumption are fairly popular at this point, which is good, LSD still seems in great decline....

Research chemical analogues or research chemical psychedelics active in submilligram to a few milligrams dose have greatly replaced LSD in recent times, which is a shame, because these compounds don't even come close to doing the things that LSD can do...

Phenethylamines (mescaline, 2Cx series, DOx series, etc...) are 5HT2A +5HT2C receptor agonists

Tryptamines (DMT, psiloc(yb)in, ibogaine, etc...) are 5HT1a +5HT2a + 5HT2C receptor agonists

LSD (while it has a tryptamine core is actually unique from the other tryptamines, and while technically it is a tryptamine, it is unique, even in the world of ergolines and lysergamides LSD is unique) is a:
5ht1a + 5ht2a + 5ht2c + 5ht1b + 5ht1b + 5ht5a + 5ht6 + 5ht7 + D1 + D2 + D3 + D4 + alpha2 receptor agonist

This amazing compound plays a role that other psychedelics simply can not.

The subjective effects of LSD are rich and have bennefits not offered by other psychedelics, I'm not claiming its the supreme psychedelic or that it will save the world, simply that it is a tool that should be available to the people who can do the most with it....(ken kesey, jack Nicholson, Allen ginsberg, etc...were all exposed to LSD or other psychedelics through government programs and look at what they became! I only mentioned 3 people but seriously the list of amazing people the government turned on is fairly long, the list of amazing people influenced by LSD or other psychedelics is even longer, Steve jobs credits LSD for inspiring a good deal of his ideas involving the computer....

LSD is powerful, and if we can get this stuff to the artists, the writers, the intellectuals, the philosophers, the politicians, the musicians, the psychotherapists, psychologists, spiritual explorers, religious leaders, etc...it can really change the world in some amazing ways..


Leary fucked up in thinking that we needed to give LSD to anybody who could stick their tongue out, its NOT for everybody....but the fact that people who could really do amazing things with it don't have access to authentic LSD really bothers me...

All the good chemists are dead, retired, or in prison, owsley Stanley, nick sand, Tim scully, none of these amazing chemists arevLSD producers any longer, then there's guys like Casey hardison who werecproducingbLSD but moved to Europe where he was caught. William Leonard pickard and Clyde apperson were producing large ammounts of LSD, people may say bad things about pickard, bur he trained at purdue under David e. Nichols, he wasca talented chemists and he was producing in ammounts suitable for national distribution, now he is servingbteo life sentences....now we have clandestine micro-labs here and there, but talented chemists producing large quantities of LSD are becoming more and more uncommon.....personally I think it should be made legal, it should be produced by professional chemists in state of the art laboratories, then the users should simply obtain the LSD by prescription from their doctor, this way only adults would have access and if at any time they had issues they could contact their doctor, I think every drug should be handled this way....but it will never happen....

Now is the time for LSD, we have learned from the 1960s, we know the limits and parameters of the compound and we have learned from past mistakes, The fantastic assumptions once made about the compound have Been proven one way or the other by now, and now we know how and what this compound can be used for.

...the fact that LSD is in decline saddens me, I want to do anything that I can to change this, I want to tell the people who it could help that its a tool for their use, I want to convince chemists that because its active in microgram dose that it is the most worth while compound to produce by weight, I want to remind people of events like the acid tests held by ken kesey and the merry pranksters that were used to spread the word of LSD, I want to remind psychedelicos that LSD is unique and valuable and should be part of any innerspace explorers tool kit, I love mescaline, DMT, and psilocybe fungi, but these compounds are doing fairly well at this point, while LSD is in decline....

The decline of LSD must be reversed...the thing is, a single chemist could do it, or a few chemists could do it you could get 10,000 doses out of a gram (though in reality its less than that, but its still worth more dose for dose than any other compound) ...a single chemist could produce kilograms of LSD with the right supply of precursors and lab gear, and that single chemist could effectively bring LSD back....

I really don't want to see LSD die...

David E. Nichols, Rolland Griffiths, and others speak about psychedelic research in the film above, David e. Nichols makes some Statements about LSD with in the first few moments of this film that I truley agree with, there's some really great information and insight throughout this film.

Rarely does gold surface, you usually have to dig for it or pan for it right? Its there, its relatively easy to mine, but you have to know where to mine right? Same shit.

It never left ever, it never will. Just remember this, "every 4 years".

And test kits are to cheap to pass on.

Its around, but rare.

DMT, mescaline (via trichocereus species), psiloc(yb)in fungi, and research chemicals are more available than ever, yet LSD is rare,  I was simply trying to explain how this needs to change.

Sadly, research chemical vendors are rigging their analogues to field test positive for the compound it mimics....so ive been having to GC/Ms through online testing sites, its the only way...

I have access to LSD, but I hear story after story of people who were fed analogues or garbage and who.are judging LSD based on these experiances....I'm not saying we need an outbreak of acid...but it should be at least as available as DMT or psilocin or mescaline...and its not.

Since 2011-2012 there is A LOT more acid and more potent tabs then there was in the 2000's.

LSD is making a comeback. Maybe a more diverse comeback thanks to 1P-LSD and AL-LAD and other analogues but darknetmarkets and bio reactors and will create a more steady supply for those interested. With the ongoing normalisation of drugs and the knowledge of the positive effects of psychedelics spreading there will again be a less party centric crowd of new people interested in LSD.

Also LSD is getting extremely cheap again, probably lower than it has been for almost a decade. Bulk LSD from darknetmarkets is really cheap.

Maybe I am the exception but the people I know know that bitter tasting tabs are not LSD, they dont really care but atleast they know, right?

Though I enjoy 1P-LSD, I don't consider it to be LSD, its claimed to be a prodrug of LSD, and is a million times better than any other analogue (except for eth-LAD), but still....actually 1P-LSD could be seen as an analogue of N-acetyl-LSD (ALD-52), which nick sand claimed was the true identity of orange sunshine, so I'm actually ok with 1P-LSD...

How ever lysergic acid 2,4-dimethylazetidide and the other LSx compounds, as well as the XXX-LAD series (with the exception of eth-lad) experientially cant compare to LSD-25.

If its bitter tasting its probably an N-benzyl-methoxy-phenethylamine (NBOMe), which are quite dangerous, your risking death, vassoconstriction causing loss of limbs, and various other potential hazzards, NBOMe's are like rolling dice, one time you will be fine, the next time of the same batch of the same dose could kill you....DOx series compounds can taste bitter, and I actually enjoy the DOx series (except for the long duration), but I don't want to risk eating NBOMe's so I test all my dose.

I still don't think acid is available enough....

....have you known anybody that sent dark-net LSD to a GC/MS testing site to confirm its identity?

I honestly hope that authentic LSD is comming back, I have not seen it near as much as I would like too, its around, but not near as much as it should be.

1P-LSD will hopefully replace NBOMe, DOx, xxx-lad and LSx series compounds, at least I hope it will, but it has a good deal of potential for going the way of ALD-52 and becoming scheduled.

In the film above it describes the impact that LSD had, as well as the charecters promoting it...

...maybe that's whats missing, we need charecters like Neal cassady, ken kesey, the merry pranksters, nick sand, Tim scully, owsley Stanley, and so on...

More availability would be great, but I dont think there was a better time for drug users since the 60s than now.

New drugs arrive weekly and darknetmarkets have an extremely big variety of clean drugs and precursors. You can buy all the active plant through the internet and the knowledge gets more accessible.

If someone came on the equivalent of the shroomery in 1993 and they asked where they could get LSD... I'm sure someone would say hit up a grateful dead show. Now, you go on reddit or something and ask around, I'm sure someone will point in the direction of the dark net. Buyers and sellers don't do it in the open anymore- perhaps this is what lead you to think LSD is on the decline? I'm willing to bet it isn't. If you don't have any connections, right at this moment, your journey to finding it will be different and easier than it was in 2005.

Edit- and when I say buyers and sellers "don't do it in the open anymore" I'm not suggesting that LSD was ever sold blatantly in the open, I just mean you had those widely known scenes that people knew about and that's where you could follow the acid around. And those scenes still exist, along with variations upon them as time goes on as well- and that further drives my point home- there are new ways people can find acid currently. Also 1P-LSD IS being sold off online as if it is legal. People claim near to identical effects to LSD-25, you can't discount this either. Any old joe with a credit card can (could?) buy crystal 1P-LSD... that's thousands of doses right there.

1P-LSD is amazing, the substitution is made to the nitrogen that's parts of the indole rings pyrole ring, or "position 1" the propionyl substitution, just like an acetyl substitution(like ALD-52 ;N-acetyl-LSD),  is suposed to metablolise back into a hydrogen atom connected to the nitrogen, in other words, the substitution is pulled appart by the body and your left with LSD.
....when LSD has substitutions to the nitrogen at position one its said to make the molecule more stable in storage, though with both ALD-52 and 1P-LSD contact with water will cause the compounds to become LSD as well....

I feel LSD is in decline because it actually is, look at the stats, on a global scale, since the late 1970s the numbers for LSD production, use, and awareness are at an all time low....the only people using LSD are the people who already have had their eyes opened, there's so many people worldwide who don't have knowledge or access to this amazing compound, yet cocaine and herion are available on every street corner 24/7....in the biggger picture, LSD is on the decline, you need only reveiw the numbers.

....again maybe its not that there isn't LSD out there, its that its not getting to the people who could do the most with it.  LSD has been confined to a small community, and really is not expanding.....if you ask people off the street to be honest about if the have taken LSD or not, most will.say no. Most people who I smoke marijuana with know nothing about LSD except for the urban myths that the general public accepts, they don't know what it looks like, where ot comes from, or what it does to you....hell, most people thinks its dangerous! And when you tell them " Assenior LSD researcher Dr. David Nichols, Distinguished Chair of Pharmacology at Purdue University and head of one of the world's top LSD research labs, stated in his 2004 review article on hallucinogens, "There is no evidence that any of the hallucinogens, even the very powerful semisynthetic LSD, causes damage to any human body organ. [...] Hallucinogens do not cause life-threatening changes in cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic function because they have little or no affinity for the biological receptors and targets that mediate vital vegetative functions." Deaths resulting from the pharmacological effects of LSD are rare to non-existent
(-erowid) they think you are the one who was misinformed.


Out of all drugs, even the psychedelics, LSD is the most rare, the public as a whole know the least about it, and sadly it could do more to help people than any of the drugs that are well known and widley available such as opiods and stimulants....

I agree with much of your post, but after 44 years of tripping I now completely disagree with your minimalizing of  psilocybin in comparison to LSD. Two Winter Solstices ago, 3 of us decided to combine our separate 3.5 gram dose of P. cubensis. So I powdered 10.5 grams, added the juice of one lemon, 10 ml of Everclear® grain alcohol, mixed, and added the slurry to 500 ml of hot tea where it steeped for a full 20 minutes. We each took 166 ml of the tea with the mushroom powder filtered by a finely perforated metal coffee filter.

Let me tell you, I have taken a few classic acid trips worthy of mention in one of Dr. Stanley Grof's books, including a revivification of my biological birth in 1973. But on this Lemon-Tec method, I began to turn into iridescent streaks of pastel-colored light. The only music any of our nervous systems could tolerate was slow Ravi Shankar ragas. I had the momentary delusion that the man (now deceased) was actually playing somewhere in my house. I began to 'become' "the sound of the sitar" (the title of one of Ravi's recordings). The three of us had a fascinating but frightening telepathic experience as we all later processed that we were pulled (unpleasantly) by our Naval Centers, down to some root-bearded, glowing-eyed, chthonic earth-entity's domain, which we all described almost identically! That experience was precipitated by a dark, spooky part of the CD Greyfolded. The result is that my wife and our friend will never again trip on the Winter Solstice.

As to your call for a chemist, I'd respond with a couple of things. Yes, I cut my psychedelic teeth on acid. My college roommate used to get baggies of the Sandoz from the East Hanover, NJ Sandoz plant near my house. Unfortunately, I never got any of those blue pills, but I did get some of their Psilocybin. I took Windowpane or Clear Light my first time, and from my roommate's opinion, that was comparable to the Sandoz. Those hits must have weighed in at a good 300 mcg each. I also had Orange Sunshine from Berkeley, CA (once insufflated 2 hits, one up each nostril, at least 600 mcg), orange and green barrel acid, 'red berry acid' (some of the BEST), and all kinds of blotters from before the days of printing art on them to some classic ones). But look at the consequences to chemists when they are caught - Pickard & Apperson as you named for example. Owsley and Nick Sands did time too. It is VERY liberal of the authorities to tolerate the growing of mushrooms, and you may find with time that a 6-8 hour entheogenic excursion is preferable to a grueling 12 hour one. There are now analog drugs that can be delivered in microgram doses that can kill. This was never a problem with LSD because nothing else was potent enough to fit on a 1/8" square of gelatin or a 1/4" blotter. Dosing someone with acid without their knowledge is easy, with mushrooms, a bit more difficult ("Hey, try this chocolate  :devil:).

The thousands or millions of tabs of Sandoz LSD (Leary & Alpert drove from Boston to NJ to get their's) were 'leaked' for a social experiment. Of this I am convinced. When the culture began become psychedelicized, and people were seeing through the idiotic social-status games that Robert de Ropp describes in The Master Game, the LSD had to dry up. It was threatening the consumerism that American capitalism is founded on. If a (then) $1995 Volkswagon Beetle was just as desirable as a (then) $13,000 Cadillac in 1970 because people were not interested in impressing their neighbors, showing off (all ego), or appearing to be rich, then our economy was going to take a major hit. Young people's values were shifted towards personal development with LSD which was far more available than 'exotic' mushrooms or Peyote (although someone in Laredo, TX used to sell pounds through the mail). America is a pill-culture, and most Americans are myco-phobic. I was told as a little boy not to ever put "toadstools" in my mouth. My mother was quite clear on that point. Relatively few people in the USA eat, let alone grow mushrooms, given our population of 300+ million. Flooding society with acid is going to be dealt with like that poor guy who died after 20+ years in prison at age 45, with a life sentence for selling acid 3 times at Dead shows. :frown: I'd say, count your blessings. :yesnod:

I'm much more terrified of Psilocybin then LSD.  LSD tends to be puppy and rainbows to me, SUPER introspective.  Mushrooms tend to be more sinister, like an older brother or sister toying and fucking with you for it's own amusement.

That's unusual, it's more often the opposite, with so much 70s art of mushrooms, rainbows, butterflies and sunny skies. But yeah, on the experience I mentioned, I quite agree with the sinister aspect. I used the word chthonic, which I gleaned from Jung.:

chthonic |ˈTHänik| (also chthonian |ˈTHōnēən| )
adjective
concerning, belonging to, or inhabiting the underworld: a chthonic deity.
ORIGIN late 19th cent.: from Greek khthōn ‘earth’ + -ic.

LSD can. be the Unmitigated Clear Light of the Void, the Wrathful Deities expressing the Brain Center and the experience of OM at that center, like a beam from Shiva's Ajna, annihilating form, naked consciousness (like in The Beatle's White Album, Revolution 9, an acid trip wherein one hears - "It makes you naked"). Personally though, I think it' about dosage and method of delivery for either substance. It can be like Revolution 9, or like Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

Yeah I mean these compounds present them selves in different ways in different people.  I've had positive trips and difficult trips on both substances so I can't say with any absolutes anything about each drug.  IMO I think set and setting and dose is just as important if not more so then the substance in the classical psychedelics.

There are lots of potential variables with set & setting, and dosage being the most obvious. Diet has an effect. But there are a host of subtle variables: time of day/night with regard to one's own diurnal/nocturnal cycles, time of year in seasonal areas (things don't change too much in Miami, Florida), lunar cycle and possibly solar flare activity, and possibly astrological-astronomical configurations. Then there are collective holidays and personal anniversaries (I know someone whose first trip took place in the house where his mother died and he unpleasantly discovered unresolved issues. At the time of me writing this, it happens to be his birthday). One could speculate about other things.

Psilocybin has its own unique place in psychedelia, psilocin induces genuine mystical experiances (though some are unable to interpret them as such) psilocin is just as intense as LSD, only it has a quite different personality. The most signifigant and spiritually meaningful experiances in my life have occored with psilocin or DMT.

LSD causes a quite different mental change, its more of a complete psychological reinterpretation of self and values, its like 5 years of psychotherapy in a single night and it is capable of tremendous psychological and social change.....plus 1g is 10,000 100ug doses, even micro-labs are producing between 4-7 grams per synthesis, which is actually quite a bit, its nothing like the owsley Stanley, nick sand, Tim scully and Even William leonard pickard and Clyde apperson mass production where they were producing kilogram ammounts of LSD on a regular basis, but its still a good ammount....with mushrooms it would take a good ammount of time and work to make enough to dose 10,000 people, with LSD a single chemist can make 35,000 100ug doses in a single weekend by himself, keep in mind this is only producing 3.5g of actual LSD, so this micro-lab chemist could actually produce enough to cause real social change, opening minds on a mass scale.



I don't discredit psilocin, I just see different advantages to LSD, plus it has very rich pharmocoloy

As I said before:

Phenethylamines are 5HT2A +5HT2C receptor agonists

Tryptamines are 5HT1a +5HT2a + 5HT2C receptor agonists

LSD is a: 5ht1a + 5ht2a + 5ht2c + 5ht1b + 5ht1b + 5ht5a + 5ht6 + 5ht7 + D1 + D2 + D3 + D4 + alpha2 receptor agonist

....everything about LSD fascinates me.

But I'm in no way discrediting psilocin, mescaline, DMT, or any of the other beautiful compounds that qualify as true psychedelics.

I think LSD is more spiritual then mushrooms.  Just goes to show how these thing vary from trip to trip and person to person.

LSD is all around right now. Of course the RC analogues are as well, but good quality L is more plentiful than it has been in the last decade I've been using it...

I guess it mainly depends on where you are. Northern California is full of high quality LSD, especially when you go to the many summer festivals. I'm not sure of the amount of micrograms, but I would guess at least around 100ug, since 3 hits usually provoke one to go back home when out in public at a park. It just gets way too intense...

It is a subjective evaluation for me based on 44 years of experience. It is not scientifically, quantitatively accurate, but one knows if one is in the 300 or so mcg area, and at 600 mcg, one really hits a ceiling after which (like those alleged "thumb-prints" of pure crystalized LSD) one gets psychic or psychospiritual overload. Possible are White Light or Clear Light experiences, revivification of one's biological birth, age regression or progression, Psi phenomena (clear telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, precognition, the 'siddhis'). But also, high dosages can result in decompensation and transient psychotic episodes. BE HERE NOW spoke to those who 'scream for help' from a psychotic break with Reality. Interestingly, a word for the experience of rebirth is metempsychosis. These experiences (as Dr. Stan Grof points out in his books) can result in some very disturbing psychological conditions which some people never recover from. They had latent psychosis and never should've taken psychedelics or at least not high doses. Acid in the 60s and 70s often were 250-300 mcg Windowpanes, blotters, barrels, berries, or tablets. In the beginning, hollow capsules contained a dried drop of liquid or sugar cubes had high dosage levels.

LSD is around, but if you ask the avarage person off the street they wont know anything about it or what it can do other than a few cliche misconceptions.

Last time you had mass ammounts of people using LSD you had massive social change, and it wasn't superficial idealism.....

We need more figures like kesey and the pranksters, owsley Stanley, nick sand, Tim scully, even another person who was as strong willed, dedicated and confrontational as Tim Leary, but perhaps with the insight to not make the mistakes he did...

I think Dave E. Nichols does a good job of articulating LSD's potential and importance in the very begining of this film (the rest of the film is good as well)

Yes, though I still feel that psilocin produces mystical experiances far more consistantly than LSD...another issue is that most people will not consume sufficient ammounts of psilocin, even 3.5 dry grams of stropharia cubensis is not sufficient for a mystical experiance, at this level it causes benign hallucination and intoxication, but doesn't come near to the mystical potential of psilocin, you need 20-35mgs of psilocin to produce a mystical experiance, at this dose the mystical experiance will occor every time (even if the patient is unable to interpret the experiance as mystical), most people are only eating 10-15mgs psilocin...

But yeah your right, everybody experiances compounds in a unique way, but if I had to be general I would say LSD is psychological and psilocin is spiritual, though they both have the capacity to produce either effect....I make my judgements on this issue based upon the reaction I see most often with the compound, while I acknowledge that this is in no way a "rule" or "law" of the compounds.

I had the most profound mystical experience of my life during the waning period from a microdot of very mild LSD, after I had come down and eaten supper with my folks. I went to my room to meditate and BAM! Dosage of any psychedelic does not guarantee religious experience for everyone even though it may greatly increase the probability for those who are prone to the experience of "Cosmic Consciousness' in varying degrees.

The distinction between the words psychological and spiritual is an interesting one and variously defined. But inasmuch as the word psyche means soul (and butterfly) in Greek, our word psychology does not have to be understood to mean the mechanistic computer models that Western materialist psychologists intend. The word spiritual from the Latin spiritus is an archaic term for our meaning of the word consciousness, which is most often used in psychology today. So there are linguistic cross-overs.

Phenomenologically, both 'soul' and 'spirit' are invisible, insubstantial realities (unextended in space or time, no volume or mass), but spirit usually has a connotation of being transcendental while soul is often identified with the animating consciousness of the body, and more-or-less inseparable from the body except in OOBEs and physical death.However, the ability of the embodied-soul to leave the body implies that it too is transcendental in nature. Aldous Huxley, identifying the mind as soul (psyche) said that the mind is "amphibias," meaning that it can identify with the body or with the spirit. In Jewish thought, the soul has 3 or 4 different aspects which range on a continuum from the 'animal soul' (nephesh) to the 'rational soul" (ruach) to the 'spiritual soul' (neschamah). This approximates Plato's appetitive, high-spirited, and logical aspects of his tripartite soul. Eastern Orthodox Christianity says we have a nous, "the eye of the heart or soul," or "mind of the heart" which receives communication from God as Holy Spirit. These formulations result in multiple metaphors that we can use to elicit an intuitive understanding about invisible things.

As I said these are in no way "laws" of the compounds, Simply distinctions I use to differentiate similar experiances from one another, either compound can produce either effect equally effectively, I was simply pointing out that some compounds tend to cause certain aspects to be more prevalent in more cases than others.

I actually have a good deal I want to say in response to your post, what I wrote above doesn't even scratch the surface or begin to detail my veiws on the issue.

I can tell you have the mind for a worth while discussion here, though I'm very busy at this moment, later this evening when I have a some free time ill be able to actually sit down and type in a well thought response.

I just decided to run off on the soul-spirit thing. I'm more interested in the results of consciousness alteration than in the chemical keys. Many drugs can cause paradoxical reactions, and sometimes expectation is a major factor. If someone told me they'd dosed me with LSD, I might be pissed if I had an obligation to attend to, but otherwise I'd get over the anger and go with it. But I know csquare conservatives who would utterly freak-out even before the effects were felt - both reactions shaped by expectation, positive and negative, respectively.

For the psychological/ spiritual conversation, ive been putting it off for quite some time just because I'm going to have quite a bit to write, but today is my re-up day on marijuana/hash and I don't have much going on until later, so I'm likely going to get to it today...
