This is all hearsay, though. Mythical stories passed down from high level chemists.
My point is, dealers can name their LSD whatever they want and there is no way to verify it. Even if you had true needlepoint, by the time you lay it on tabs, sell it to consumer, send it to a lab and test it, it will obviously have degraded below "99.7%".
But again, dealers can claim to have any sort of acid and nobody can prove them wrong with evidence.
That's the problem.
The term "dealers" is a broad term though, the people handling crystal is usually not your typical gangbanger who also sells 8balls or random pills.
I have friends who have sampled and tested claimed Needlepoint and Silver crystal from the same source and the purity checked out like it should.
What it comes down to is if the chemist has the skill and is willing to do the final steps to purify the lsd to the highest % possible.
Most arent only in it for profit since they could easily make a ketamine or speed lab. With a fraction of the cost and resources to be able to make lsd.
The people ive encountered who actually has crystal for sale usually have different qualities for difference prices.
My guess is that they split the finished product and choose to only purify some of it to the higher grades.
So in case something goes wrong they can at least cover their costs by selling the less pure crystal in worst case.
Not to be to specific with prices but the difference between silver and fluff is usually about 15% in price, then for Needlepoint you need to add about 10-15% more.
From my experience most lsd in Europe is in the white fluff class.
Some bigger commercial batches are probably of less quality then that.
Whereas Needlepoint blotters ive mostly found in smaller batches that some groups lay themself.
But for the regular users its of course impossible to know what you are getting.
Alot of Darknet vendors claim needle when they are selling something less pure.
Its become a selling point and most cant really tell the difference.
You need to be connected to some degree and be in circles where the regular normie aint.
Im not trying to sound elitist at all.
But the lsd trade is run basicly by cults who are quite selective who they deal with.
Its not like coke dealers who just want to move as much product as possible to whoever.
There is a reason why we rarely hear about leo taking down acid labs.
Its because they are not random thugs making the stuff.
