Dealing LSD from the dorm at U of H [TX]

Dealing LSD from the dorm at U of H December 6, 2007 - khou.com
A freshman University of Houston student is in jail, accused of dealing millions of dollars worth of LSD from his dorm room.
The student is 18-year-old Clarke Layne Denton. He lives in the Moody Towers, a high-rise dorm located on the main U of H campus.
Police sources say it was from his dorm room where he was allegedly selling hundreds of thousands of hits – that’s drops of liquid L.S.D.
LSD was a drug that was prominent during the 1970s and early 80s.
In it's liquid form it is usually added to some form of candy or mints such as SweeTarts or Altoids. Each piece is infused with a tiny drop of the hallucigent.
HPD narcotics officers set up a meeting with the suspect Wednesday night, so they could make a buy on campus.
He arrived on a bike, but when police say he found out the buyers were actually cops, he took off.
A janitor found Denton hiding in a stairwell and U of H police took him into custody.
Police said the freshman chemical engineering major is being cooperative and gave HPD consent to search his dorm room.
About 30 minutes into the search, undercover detectives and University of Houston Police came out with more evidence.
Denton, who has a prior drug record, was in the Harris County Jail Thursday on a $1.5 million bond.

Over priced campuses or Nosy police officers who like busting harmless hippi's.

Ya, cause there was no acid in the 60's. Heavens no. Whoever wrote this article is retarded.
Also, this kid is retarded. Too greedy and too scared.

i'm sure if he was dealing millions of dollars worth of lsd, that he wouldn't be living in a fucking dorm.

This is some shitty journalism. They need to get their time periods straight, too.
This kid was some punk, to try to get away from the cops on a bike, to consent to a search, and then hide in a stairwell... He shouldn't have access to LSD in the first place.

Given that LSD melts at 80 C, it was more likely a liquid solution containing LSD.

the article is pretty crappy.. doesn't give a lot of information..
but.. i suppose that this kid *could* have synthed LSD at school.. he could have had a rediculous amount in his dorm room..
why in the dorms? if he's being put through school by his parents, or even if he's just in good contact w/ his family, it would have been suspicious of him to move off campus.
as journalism and police reporting goes, "hundreds of thousands of dollars" could have been as little as 1g of crystal... which is still quite a lot for a college kid to know what to do with once he has it.. that's a whole lot of hand to hand transactions!
maybe not likely, but possible.
that is one hell of a bail if he only had a little bit of acid in his room...
would love to find out more..

it would take alot of effort for a freshman to work his way into a lab without supervision I would imagine, but it could be done
I probably could have done it if I was so inclined, but he'd have to find a reasonably well-stocked lab or really know his shit (i.e. how to synthesise diethylamine and how to get some ergot alkaloid)
You could make the diethyl amine I suppose, but then purifying it and everything would be more than most undergrad's could do from what I've seen.
Much more likely he just had a decent connection, I suppose.
Or the dosage units were incredibly inflated, and they transposed some intent to distribute with what he was actually capable of.
For instance, if you set up to make LSD from foster's beer, and plan to produce a million hits, you can be charged with that attempt in many states at a similar or identical penalty and mandatory minimum despite the fact you never could have succeded due to your plan being bullshit.
A shame though, hopefully they won't crucify this kid, but I'm sure he's looking at time, unfortunatly. I'm not familiar w/ any drug diversion programs that will even consider a manufacturing/distribution defendant.

you need a pretty heavy lab to make LSD, not happening in a dorm room.

The dude probably obtained a decent amount from a dealer buddy of his, who isn't associated with the school.
Let's hope that this kid doesn't know enough to get someone higher up in trouble.

I managed to score keys to the computer labs and a private desk in the grad-student office area my freshman year in college. However, I was assisting with some pretty intense research for McDonald Douglas at the time and needed the access.

Hundreds, plural, means at least two, thus our minimum claimed sale is of at least 200,000 hits. Selling one hit a minute, without any breaks, it would take nearly 60 days to sell 200,000 hits. Even if he was selling by the sheet, that would equate to some 2000 odd visitors to his dorm room. I find this hard to believe.

Yeah I had access to an organic research lab when I was a freshman as well, but then I was allready taking Organic chem. For safety reasons undergrads aren't supposed to be working unsupervised, but who knows how much that's enforced/at issue at other places
