The largest seizure of LSD in the country this year has been reported by the Watauga County Sheriff’s Office.

Assisted by the Raleigh Police Department, the Watauga County Sheriff’s Office seized 4,800 dosage units (hits) of LSD with an estimated street value of $48,000. LSD, or Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, is also commonly known as Acid.

Police report that their undercover agents arranged for 5,000 hits of LSD to be delivered and purchased. Detectives from multiple police departments aided in this investigation, including the Orange County Sheriff’s Office which assisted in the arrest of an Appalachian State University student who was reportedly responsible for arranging the delivery of the LSD from his supplier.

This investigation also led to the seizure of thirteen pounds of hallucinogenic mushrooms, 12.5 pounds of marijuana, and approximately $13,000.

From the original operation beginning in Watauga County to the final operation ending in New Hanover County, detectives seized the following: 4,800 dosage units/hits of LSD with an estimated street value of $48,000, 13 lbs of hallucinogenic mushrooms with an estimated street value of $119,000, 12.5 lbs of marijuana with an estimated street value of $80,000, approximately $13,000 in US currency, and one handgun.

In 2009, the Watauga County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Division led the entire nation for the largest Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, LSD, seizure which totaled 1,581 dosage units/hits. The seizure of the LSD was through an undercover operation which resulted in the arrest of two people, one of whom was a student attending Appalachian State University.

Because the investigation is ongoing, the names of the individuals involved will not yet be divulged; more arrests are expected to follow.


Really sad because I live in Watauga county....
 
Damn...LSD and mushrooms...two of the most NON harmful and ENLIGHTENING drugs out there...but yet alcohol and tobacco are EVERYWHERE...killing and dumbing down the sheople....


What a travesty!
 
Oh man... is this going to be like that infamous gigantic West Coast bust a couple years ago, that basically took out the nation's LSD supply until this past summer?

The thing with LSD is, it's so hard to make, but those few who can make it can make enough to feed an army. Therefore, it's not unlikely, at any given time, that there's only one person making pretty much all of it. The police climb the food chain and take him down, and there's no more of it around until someone else has the balls, resources, and know-how to get another operation going, a feat that requires the acquisition of surely many chemicals and pieces of equipment whose legal purchase is closely watched.

True, but the people that do make LSD are most likely in VERY remote and hidden places.
 
I think there's probably a handful of people making LSD in America, and many more in other parts of the word. I don't think its as elusive as the folklore makes it out to be. After all, business is business and a few grams of ergotamine tartrate can make you a millionaire if you know what to do with it.

I think you're quite wrong with this statement, especially in Texas where as LSD is extremely easy to smuggle anywhere(even in airports), in my area I haven't seen it in around a year. I'd imagine if there were a "handful" of people making it, it would come around to one of the biggest cities in America. Houston.
 
^LSD flows in rivers in Texas, bro (my home state :D). Especially in AUSTIN and DALLAS-- Houston is nothing but coke, xanax bars, and really shitty traffic.
 
I live in New Hanover county and in the last 4 months I have seen the availability of lsd sky rocket... Good quality too.... Now price will rise and the sizable amount available will shrink like my nuts in ice water. Damnit
 
That won't even dent the supply. It sounds like they got a middle man. Any higher and we'd be hearing about a lot more L.

Since when are mushrooms worth $10,000 a pound? Thats off by a factor of ten.

I agree! LSD and mushies produce some of the best, purest highs a person can ever have. But DXM and diphenhydramine are still legally available and easily obtained, which is just mind-boggling. People will turn to these two legal drugs in the absence of something better, and I think it SUCKS!

With busts like this one happening, will I ever get to trip properly again? :(
 
Not at all. Some people would die without those important OTC medicines.

I just think LSD and mushrooms should be legalized so people can make choices based on what suits them best. People are going to get high no matter what it takes!
