Dyed Liquid Owsley LSD?

I have been lucky enough to come across a vial of owsley recipe from the west coast. 8o The color of the liquid is like a dark purple/almost black color and I assure you this is the purest/most clean and amazing L that I have ever had to opportunity to obtain. It is in a sweetbreath bottle and I am curious as to why it is dyed instead of clear? Granted this is the first vial I have ever possessed on my own and dont know if vials usually come dyed like this. Wanted some insight on this color? I was told that some chemists dye their product as something they are really proud of. :?
 
obviously its a marketing technique but the person whom I acquired the vial through is a very trustworthy and experienced person when it comes to doses. I just wanted to hear different thoughts and opinions on the matter.
 
There is a logical reason

When you are out at a party/festival/rave etc in the dark - colored liquid is a much better thing to drip onto someones wrist.

Less chance of any going to waste ;)
 
I wouldn't put much stock in branding type stuff like you mention. Also, I'm pretty sure all the owsley stuff got gobbled up in the 70s. As for the color, that's kinda weird. All the LSD solution I've ever come across has been clear with the occasional tan/brownish tinge, usually just clear though. The color is most likely the result of whatever type of liquid that was used to put the LSD into solution.

Sounds like there was quite the sales pitch going on, but as you've sampled it, it sounds like its quality product regardless.

Also, chemists who make LSD generally aren't the people who put it in solution or onto blotter, so they wouldn't have an opportunity to dye it.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it was done to tell vials of differing concentration/potency apart.

Just don't buy any that's brown. I hear the brown acid is bad. :P
 
werent they warning about brown acid in the woodstock documentary lol "do not eat the brown acid"

Hadn't thought of that... Good idea. Maybe the next step is glow-in-the-dark LSD solution =D

I'd imagine he's just relaying info that was given him when he bought it. And if its good, well its good. Names & colors are kinda inconsequential.

Interesting, but also, why would you have vials of differing concentration? That just seems like asking for trouble... perhaps the good kind of trouble though ;)
 
^^nvm, just looked it up, it wasnt a joke, but it was saying that the brown acid wasnt bad per say, just super strong, maybe too strong for most people
 
yeah there's a scene in the Woodstock documentary where the MC clarifies that the brown acid isn't dangerous, just not any good lol
 
though i believe that announcement caused tons of people to freak out b/c they either couldn't remember what color the acid they took was and/or were worried it was something harmful. Some of the best acid i ever took was a brownish liquid
 
dying it a weird color is a good idea. probably helps prevent accidental dosing, and maybe helps someone higher up on the chain not confuse bottles of different concentrations.
 
1) Chemists do not have "recipes" FFS!

2) Owsley never made liquid, paper, blotter, microdot, or anything of the sort. All of Owsley's acid was distributed in small colored barrel-shaped pills.

3) Owsley's LSD was superior because he was willing to accept a sizable reduction in yield in return for a preposterously pure product. He recrystallized his batches many times past what other producer's would deem sufficient.

4) No LSD circulated since like 1967 has had anything to do with Owsley.

5) Owsley had access to pure ergotamine tartrate, so synthesis would have been quite easy. Plus his girlfriend Melissa was a fairly talented entry-level chemist, if I remember correctly, and she helped him with every step of the process.
 
I wonder if the LSD being made in the USA legally today is as good as Owsley's LSD was back in the day.

I can honestly say that having lived and dosed in the bay area back then, that there has never been anything as wonderful as Owsley's LSD was except for this green window pain I got in Japan in the early 80's.

Namaste
