I read in an essay some1 posted a link to(dammit, no search) saying that the LSD-25 made by Sandoz was made under better conditions(cleaner, etc.) thus creating a "pure" product and when it was packaged, it was vacuum sealed into the vials. The "sunshine" and "christmas" acid, in pill form was actually LSA-52, so maybe we are eating the same acid as that. Not to mention that the first batch of clandestine acid was impure, but still worked. I was not anywhere near alive in the 60's, but I can assume that this has been the industry standard since then. Those lovable mad scientists making acid now take shortcuts in the syntheses used, bonding different elements earlier or later, but with a similar end result. I have had a lot of acid in my days, but I can't say for sure that none of the same acid(chemically) is going around now, but a lot of it is different on a molecular level. As far as the vial theory, I can vouch for that, cuz AFOAF "chef'd" up a sheet of gels from a sweet breath bottle, and most of the ppl who bought it brought it back, after eating 5-10 tabs apiece. We ended up eating it all. I ate 10 hits at a time, 30 minutes apart, after 20, i was feeling threshold FX, but then I ate the last 10 strip, and 30 minutes later, I was seeing purple nutritional info on the wall...
