Is there still real LSD

The LSD I get usually has no taste, and the blotter glows under uv (not a good test, blotter paper sometimes uses UV reactive inks). I've never reagent tested my LSD.

I've had all the nBOME series and they didn't work well on me (tried a few vendors, complexed, not complexed, up the dosage, all to no avail), So I highly doubt it's them.

Or anyone with access to the materials and a passion for psychedelics. I don't understand why it's so hard to accept that there are a few chemists out there who are truly passionate about psychedelics and might go to the trouble of synthing the gold standard of psychedelics.

My housemate is a Chemist who works at a private lab doing contracted R&D work for Pharma companies. She's told me she can make it relatively easily (She's a hippy type, but doesn't take drugs).

Just from our conversations though, whilst she's a full time chemist, most of her time is tied up with bureaucracy, trying to hide an illegal operation within a legit operation would probably be incredibly difficult.

Setting up a clandestine lab to produce a controlled substance, and sourcing the precursors which are heavily restricted, obtaining equipment, not arousing suspicion, money laundering, risk of imprisonment. I can see a million reasons why someone with the capabilities wouldn't produce it for mass market.

It's kind of the same respect as many people who take drugs, have no desire to try and become drug dealers. The rewards vs risk is not favourable, and we favour not ending up in a cage.
 
according to albert hofmann, a 250µg dose is completely tasteless. that said, i have also noticed this, but i'd rather call it metallic sparkle; it's not intense or "real" enough of a sensation to be really called taste imho :)
Well commercially produced acid these days could be anywhere between 10% and 100% purity. The sour metallic taste mentioned might very well be due to impurities.
 
Of course there's still real LSD. It's basically the single most "in demand" psychedelic drug there is, so given that people want it so much, some are going to learn to make it. I feel like there are far more LSD chemists than people realize- and of course they're going to try and keep that status hidden, they don't want to go the same way Pickard did! Plus anytime someone makes LSD they're inevitably making thousands of doses (at least).

Finding that real LSD can be pretty fucking hard though, an since so many want it it does have a tendency to disappear pretty fast (unfortunately). However I will say that, of all the times I've picked up "acid", there was all of ONE time that it wasn't actually LSD- and of course that was when I bought it off a real sketchball, somewhat "thug" type who also sold coke, heroin, and angel dust (along with any other drugs he could find).

The fact that I live in an area full of hippies may have something to do with the more common availability of real LSD than in other areas, though, as I've heard of areas filled to the brim with NBOMe's/etc where real LSD almost never shows up- sure as fuck glad I don't live in one of those places! NBOMe's are to LSD what huffing computer duster is to smoking DMT...
 
Get a reagent of ehrlich for ~$10 off ebay to test for LSD. You can get basically a lifetime supply of ehrlich for $10. those NIK, dancesafe, etc kits are a huge rip-off.

There is a ton of LSD out there. I just posted about this recently, and I believe that all the LSD we see out there is just leftover Pickard stock. Regardless, it's really fucking common if you know where to look, I don't know if that's because Pickard was able to get out so much before being busted or other people are cooking, personally I think if someone else was cooking we'd see a wave of LSD like suddenly every street guy would have it because you make so much in just a single cook.

It wouldn't be impossible for someone to cook these days, there's less than a hundred labs really capable of doing a cook, but most of those are university labs which have little oversight and basically someone could cook LSD over night or during a week of being scheduled for the lab with no one knowing what they were doing exactly, but the thing is, is that organic chemists with at least an undergrad, in a masters or PHd program, are already risking a lot being a chemist with student loans out the ass and such, that they aren't going to really be keen on cooking fucking LSD. There isn't really much reward for them, and a ton of risk. They'd also have to have access to a ton of tightly controlled precursors, which only a handful of people have access too. Think Lydia from Breaking Bad, it was total chance that the main character was able to get that precursor in the show.

It wouldn't be hard to make, plenty of people could theoretically do it, it's just the resources are pretty hard to come by, and the people who could do it, aren't going to do it. No one's going to go become a chemist to cook LSD.

Oh gosh, such a subjective question. I bought al-lad last year and it's not lsd - by any means.

Yeah LSD is around no questions asked no answers given. Just gotta know the right people/places to look. Fuck LSD I much prefer 4 aco dmt. Just my opinion. I also prefer ketamine, MXE, 25b nbome, DOC/DOM, shrooms etc. Each to their own. I also like pcp, Opiates etc. I like variety, each substance has it's own unique merits. Each substance also has to be understood and HR techniques applied. A test kit would be a step in the right direction to identify your "LSD".
 
Theres more LSD than there was in the 60s. And theres more other psychedelics than there were in the 60s. And theres an infathomable amount of people who grow and eat shrooms.

But, the demand for psychedelics worldwide has never been greater than it is now. If you look at worldwide use it might even be so that every year now as many doses of psychedelics are used as during the entire 60s combined.

And LSD is the superstar, everybody wants that and buys it by the sheet the moment it becomes available. So it seems as if there is an LSD drought, but its around and in many places.

Best thing you can do is invest time and love in a network of entheogenic friends, and it will find you.

As for me, personally I consider mushrooms, cactus and 2C-E better than LSD. I much rather have a couple grams of crisp 2C-E than a sheet of fine blotter.
 
never had a problem finding it..no matter my age ..social group..appearance..change of living location..almost as easy to find today as it was 25 years ago...And im not talking about the internet...its just going to where its known to be sold, and talking to people.....nothing has really changed over the years..(except the addition of research chemicals being sold as)..its there for anyone ..just like its always been ..most really interested in it...are aware of this..
 
Yes it's still around but a lot more RCs (research chems) are sold as "acid" to people who don't know any better or who get them from random people, or people they don't know too well, or who don't just want to tell the truth and say "This is not acid it's (insert RC name here)". Also other drugs like MDMA and cannabis, coke, meth, and heroin are in more demand than LSD is.

The real stuff is around but it's very low mics/ug compared to what it was when I first took LSD which was Pickard LSD that was a high dose. When RCs first started showing up being sold as LSD and real LSD was being dosed a lot lower than it once was many people started to just eat mushrooms instead.
 
I am planning on becoming a chemist and I've been a diehard psychedelics enthusiast I can only hope to go through the troubles of an education and experience to actually be able to synthesize such a life changing experience.
 
LSD is mostly "fun" for me not life changing in a big way. Cannot really be compared to 2c-e, mescaline and those. Its available if you are in the right scene so to speak but i think popularity wise that its kind of dwindling.

As you move into higher dosages, it's been my experience that LSD becomes much more "serious" and less "fun". I do not know how much was on them but 6 hits of strong acid many years ago was very life changing for me.
 
Plenty of LSD out there, and no,it is not old Pickard stock. If you are a chemist, the synth is easy....the precursors are another matter entirely. IME there has been more and more LSD the past several years. Sure, there was a bit of a drought after Pickard, but it never disappeared entirely. There are groups of people who have been active sporadically the last 40 years without fail.
