DerPda said: You are right, you would have to do an experiment. Double blind study design, all factors stabilized or randomized except your independent variable - the "treated" lsd vs. the "untreated" LSD - and then hand the treated LSD to the experimental group and the untreated LSD to the control group, messure whatever you want to messure as an indicator of trip quality and then perform a statistical analysis on significance of differences between the two groups regarding your dependend variable (the stuff that you messured).
Its just very hard to do this because the psychedelic experience is so variable, yet to those who are able - like myself, we can tell different batches of crystal by a double blind study. Ive done it myself over a dozen times and 100% of the time known the batch. So this could be done, but the selection bias, as well as subjective psychedelic experience must be considered into results.
Eclipse3130 said: The thing with LSD is it's a crystal which means it can vary in purity..
The purer the crystal, the easier it can reflect the absorbed energy, light, and intention that you put into it.
Pure LSD crystal is usually "charged" by its Creator. Meaning the chemist who makes it and purifies it, will have their intentions, and energies engrained into the crystal. This is what makes pure LSD special, is this "spark" of insight or realization that you will experience on the trip, you will be intaking what the Creator wanted you to experience. Same is with all crystals including Cannabis.
You can change water molecules with thought, but most likely the LSD crystal is already pure and charged by its Creator(what you're trying to do now)
That experiment was totally debunked, but I still have a metaphor I use that carries the same message in a better, more understandable manner. Have you ever been into a house that had “good vibes”? Or a house that just had “bad vibes”? Maybe ever heard of a “haunted house”? Well, these things exist because when a human experiences something so powerful, it has the ability to be transcended into the physical plane and manifest within matter. Just like haunted houses are scary because bad stuff has happened in them so intensely the matter of the house and area itself is manifest with negative energy/imprints/memory (whatever your vernacular). So just like the matter of those houses, LSD can be impacted by the energy around it - but the vast majority of what contributes to the true LSD experience is LSD made from ergotamine tartate, as well as a quadricept purification (i.e seperation, column chromotography, further isomer seperation, final column chromotagraphy (4x steps)).
Northerner said: Masaru Emoto is a fucking lunatic who's main function is to sell extremely expensive seminars, books and make Evian envious about how much can be charged for a single bottle of water. There's no way in the world his experiments with water crystals (also known as snow, duh) and rice would stand up to double blind tests, in fact he was offered a million bucks to do it and turned it down. No one has been able to re-create his "studies" and the whole thing is basically a pseudo-scientific anecdote by a well intentioned but clearly delusional motivational speaker. It's been tried to be recreated numerous times. Don't believe me though, try it for yourself.
Now to apply something that doesn't even work with water to our precious LSD in just bonkers. The reason great LSD is thought to be charged by the "intentions" if the creator is quite simple. They spent more time and effort making the stuff. It's not fucking magic. It's science.
I'm not denying the power of positive thinking, and even the ability that can have to effect the way others perceive us and our health. It's just that everything logical in this "physical realm" or "illusion" is governed by these pesky atoms that don't seem to give a fuck what we think. They continue to behave in the same manner. Only particles in quantum mechanics seem to care whether they're being observed for some reason. (see the double slit experiment, Hawthorne effect, etc), but scientists are smashing these little fuckers and I bet any money they'll figure that out in the next 100 years too.
Exactly true; it may seem like magic, but its science. LSD has many crazy properties like polymorphism and others that we don’t understand; as well, incipients in impure LSD crystal matrixes may cause dirty trips do to the adjunct nature of these incipients alongside LSD (i.e they are catalyzed by LSD). These have not been scientifically explored at all, yet have been shown to be proven properties.

In that doc they talk about how monks were able to focus different emotions towards petri-dishes of water while they froze, causing geometric shapes to appear. Negative emotions made basic "un-interesting" shapes and the more positive the emotion the more complicated or "beautiful" the shapes became. (used "" because they're subjective)
I only got this far. No No No No No NO!
First, that movie is garbage, go watch a debunk on it. One of the main people claims to be channeling aliens for her info, it's insane.
Second, the Frozen water test is incredibly stupid. When water Freezes, it freezes in a random pattern, this is why all snow flakes are unique. Freezing water in shallow dishes will always give unique patterns no matter the circumstance.
So for the rest of your question, no don't be silly. There's no charging things with intention or "energy".
The shapes are not a random pattern, it freezes in the pattern dictated by it’s conditions sorrounding it, just like every other crystalline pattern. The question is aren’t “beautiful” and “ugly”, or “bad” and “good” just arbitrary terms we’ve come up with? Whose moral absoluteism is his studies being measured by? None, because moral absoluteism doesnt exist in an objective manner.
Eclipse3130 said: Ignorance is bliss It's science now a days.. you can even have crystals electronically scanned to perceive their auric (energetic) field.
If you work with enough crystals, especially LSD you will understand this eventually. It's very easy to tell apart impure LSD to pure LSD simply within the experience, and physical impurities have no known psychological effects, down to the simple fact of "what you put in you get out" known as intention.
But I'm preaching to the choir here
Just shoes how much people haven't found the Pure yet, hopefully one day 

Regardless of this crystal stuff, I’ve worked with probaly dozens of dozens batches of crystal LSD over many, many years - long before the grass valley fluff and china mass operations started - and I completely agree its easy to tell apart pure and impure LSD from the experience (or real LSD-25 or another lysergamide). Whether it’s polymorphism, incipients, cytokinetics, impurities catalyzed by LSD etc. that causes these negative effects, we will not know - as all studied LSD in government ordinated tests is actually LSD-25 and clean of impurities.
Nutt and Nichols have said the LSD they made is the purest ever tested.
