Not the man I thought he was.

A friend of mine got in touch with me, he's in another city to the SW of mine for the summer...he's more of a friend of a friend than a direct friend but still we've had good times on our own and he's done some special things - essentially one very special thing. The first time I was supposed to do acid was when I visited my friend Larry and this kid was with him and was supposed to have it...he didn't, and a year and a month later put three sugar cubes in my hand and didn't make me pay for them because he felt like he had owed them to me since he first let me down.
The first time my girlfriend rolled, he drove us to a beach near his house, rolled us some joints, and left us there with a boombox and some sparklers to enjoy the night on our own, coming back to pick us up when we were finished with our psychedelic experience. THat's a great guy to do that.
But earlier today he got in touch with me saying he wanted me to help him get a sheet of LSD. I was ready to help him all I could when he started talking about his plans. 50 for him and his friends, and the other 50 to sell. But not for the 8 bucks he would have gotten them at...not even for 10. For 11 or 12 a fucking pop!
I immediately told him I'd have no part in that...and he started promising he wouldn't sell them for a profit but I honestly don't think I can necessarily believe that and I don't know if I should hook him up or not. I paid back my non-verbal acid debt to him months ago when I hooked him up with 4 tabs when he came through the city as a thank you for him giving me my first LSD experience. So I don't really owe him anything and I guess I'm just disappointed he would treat LSD like that. He didn't understand it when I told him I didn't want to be a part of anything that was going to make LSD any more expensive than it already is...bah to that!

11 or $12 a hit?
That's drug abuse, man.

I can't for the stupidest reason. I was at my girlfriend's with her and her roommate and I didn't feel like hanging out with real live human beings in person. Nothing against either of them, I just wasn't in the mood. So I left to come home. But now if I sign on AIM I'm gonna get the whole "you left me for the internet!!! " thing.

He'll probably get the acid either way though, so if it profits you on the way, why not?
Or do you get nothing and are just doing this out of the goodness of your heart? Because in that case, you can use your morals, since you have nothing to lose.
If he gets them at $8 a hit, then I wouldn't be surprised for him to sell them at $11. That's not much of a profit to begin with.

He doesnt deserve to have Lucy in his hands if those are his plans. To hell with him. You owe him nothing so don't feel bad about it bro. You did the right thing.

11 or 12 bucks a hit? that sounds like a good price to me. I mean come one, I wouldn't be suprised if people started raising the price to 20 a hit, because it's so limited

I'm not looking to make a profit on acid. I don't have that kind of idealism with something like pot or mushrooms, though I don't deal drugs of any kind. But with acid, I just get repulsed by people selling it at a profit when they see how hungry people are for it - and how hungry the world is for it. I think it's something that can do a lot of good and has lost a lot of its magic.
Anyways..

Its not really that limited anymore... Only in some areas. There is enough LSD out there right now to drop the prices down to $5.00 per single hit where it should be no more than.
Sheets used to go for $100 bucks. Thats $1.00 a hit... Im sure theres enough L out there to start dropping these ridiculous prices.

Your complacency on the issue astounds and disappoints me.
Now that I've seen how much is out there, I can't understand prices greater than 10.

Yet that doesn't take inflation into account. If you're talking about a few decades ago, $1 a hit then isn't $1 a hit now.

Im talking right around 4 years ago a very far cry from a decade.
Edited to add: L is cheap to synthesize and it costs no more than it did only 4 years ago that's for sure. Liquid vials of potent product were going for a $100 bucks. Now they are at what $400.. That's absolutely fucking ludicrous. Somebody somewhere down the line is making a killing...

Ah, I see. You must be around a surplus of acid, because never in my life have I or any of my friends acquired LSD for $1 a hit. I did get it for $3 a hit once, but that's the lowest I've seen it recently.

We're not talking about 1970's prices. I'm talking about people in the year 2000 being able to buy sheets for no more than 500 dollars.

I "used" to be around a surplus of L.. This little town was literally flooded for a couple years up until the big drought. Not anymore that's for sure and it really pisses me off. heh. The most a vial ever went for was $150 and thats when it was super super pure and potent.

Hey bro if you check out the Recent prints thread thats what most people are paying for it now around $500 a sheet. Personally I think this is ridiculous.. I can understand a single dose costing $5.00 but for 100 doses there should definately be a big price drop. Thats wild. Thats charging for 100 single doses at the max they should go for per dose if you play by the rules.

Maybe introduce him to crack. It's got a bigger profit margin.
