All I said was that you were simplifying things a bit and making it sound TOO easy.
There's a tendancy to use a bit of hyperbole on these boards in order to argue a point.

Thats what I did with the simplified synth. Nobody in their right mind would use that as an actual "recipy", but anyone who reads this has access to the www where you no doubt can download exact procedures like this one a dozen times over.

EDIT: LOL even the Temple Of The Screaming Electron has the correct procedures in a rare instance of them not getting you killed

No i'm a bit fed up with some inter-forum stuff I see across the internet, and the depressive atmosphere of discouragement that prevails. People smoke too much pot

No offense taken, really. When I take offense I usually (over)react with a heavyhanded bitter PM rather than taking it in public

Nobody in this thread or in the Bluelight personally offended me, but some posts fueled the fires of discouragement and thats unfortunate.

It adds up to an uneconomical waste of chemicals and time at a 50% yield.

Lacking Chromatography the end product will be far dirtier than "tornado juice" and likely a filthy experience with a degree of ergot like sensations.

were this a viable synth for a consumable product, If it were as easy as you make it out to be, there would be LOTS of lsd as there IS demand.

There IS lots of LSD
But the demand is far greater than that. And its a viable synth and if it is followed to the letter, just as the shulgin process, it will yield high quality LSD.

What we instead see is High quality LSD being spread very thin (20mcg hits). Why do we not see lots of crap grade acid?

Why aren't lil labs pumping out the 1-2g batches?

I assure you those who do this work KNOW what does and does not work.

Fortunately nobody can have a full overview of what goes on, so LSD cannot be driven into extinction.

The first LSD in Holland in the 1960s was made on a tiny scale by a chem enthusiast. He had heard of Yag? which caught his interest, then he heard that LSD = Lysergic Acid Diethyamide, and with that chemical name as a starting point he studied up, botched a bit here and there, and made LSD in a small home lab without any "connections", and sold it to friends as "Yag?".

What would anyone know of a 1 gram lab?

A 1 gram lab puts out a mere 10 sheets of 1000 blotters. With demand being what it is, its gone before you can say Lysergic. There are many many kinds of blotter floating around, including lots of perfed and unperfed white blotter. You'd never notice the output of a one-gram lab, because its trivial if you look at demand.

With people taking tenstrips and all a literal busload of hippies will easily take care of a 100-sheet on a weekend.

The psychedelic movement hasn't got a culture of making LSD, it has a culture of saying it can't be done Take mushrooms. They were treasured and revered as a psychedelic more valuable than LSD. You went to Mexico to find a curandero to experience them. Then some intrepid people cultivated them. Now "everybody" cultivates them, many noobs pick their first trip off their own PF Cake.

DMT, Mescaline, Salvinorin.. many people extract them.

LSD is harder, but once people have a sense that it can be done, it will be done.

Take no offense, please.

Also, I highly doubt anyone is making LSD in the US. With the government the way it is and all the money and power of the US out to destroy drugs outside of their profit circle.

I'm sorry, but a lot of those people knew what they were talking and I posted this there. I'll believe them over you, a few of those people have degrees in chemistry and that tek sounds like bs anyway.

Synthesis of LSD using Trifluoracetic anhydride
.
Step I. Use Yellow light
.
5.36 g of d-lysergic acid are suspended in 125 ml of acetonitrile and the suspension cooled to about -20 C in a bath of acetone cooled with dry ice. To the suspension is added a cold (-20 C) solution of 8.82 g of trifluoroacetic anhydride in 75 ml of acetonitrile. The mixture is allowed to stand at -20 C for about 1.5 hours during which the suspended material dissolves, and the d-lysergic acid is converted to the mixed anhydride of lysergic and trifluoroacetic acids. The mixed anhydride can be separated in the form of an oil by evaporating the solvent in vacuo at a temperature below 0 C, but this is not necessary. Everything must be kept anhydrous.
.
Step II. Use Yellow light
.
The solution of mixed anhydrides in acetonitrile from Step I is added to 150 ml of a second solution of acetonitrile containing 7.6 g of diethylamine. The mixture is held in the dark at room temperature for about 2 hours. The acetonitrile is evaporated in vacuo, leaving a residue of LSD-25 plus other impurities.
.
The residue is dissolved in 150 ml of chloroform and 20 ml of ice water. The chloroform layer is removed and the aqueous layer is extracted with several portions of chloroform. The chloroform portions are combined and in turn washed with four 50 ml portions of ice-cold water. The chloroform solution is then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo.

This method was posted on theshroomery during a discussion about how easy/difficult it would be to make lsd, it wasn't meant as a tek for anyone to use and there is more info about the by products in following posts. So your friend is just being stupid.
