Ima take this oppurtunity to share what I learned as a pawn in the 90s Grateful Dead LSD game, it's been a good 12 years since I sold a single hit so whatever!
First off, having access to good, pure LSD and distributing it to other people says nothing about how "enlightened you are", how "cool" you are or any other of that happy horseshit! A lot of the people I knew in my younger years who were "Dead Family" who had access to tons of LSD were just drug dealers seeking to profit like anyone else....
The spiritual, enlightening aspect of LSD is in the LSD itself, a monkey could sell good LSD given the oppurtunity!
At first, I happened to meet people who had LSD by going to certain shows....I liked LSD and became a regular customer. As time passed, I became more involved with theser people and eventually, at the age of 17, I was given 100 hits of blotter acid at a time to sell....
They gave me about a week to sell off what I had and give them the pre-determined amount of cash, whatever extra there was beyond that, I kept for myself.....Pretty standard drug-dealing shit....
As time went on, I met more and more people, and eventually it got to the point that I was getting 1000 hits of blotter(ten-pack, book) LSD fronted to me every month or so....
The person giving this to me was being fronted 10,000 hits by somebody else who was acting as an intermediary for the person actually putting the crystal LSD onto blotter....
Beyond that, whoever he actually got the crystal from, I don't think anybody knew for sure.....
It came to where, I personally knew the guy who was laying the blotter, but it was understood that I was to never mention to him at all....but he knew that I knew and indirectly, by distributing these things, I was making all these people a good amount of money....I thought they were the shit! At the time, I was between 18-22, the person actually giving me the acid was in his mid 20s and the guy actually laying the LSD was in his 40s....
That's a little backstory.....
What I really wanna mention.....and I never synthesized LSD, but I met a few people in my travels through the people who gave me LSD that were involved with the manafacture of LSD....
Anyway.....There's all this shit about "white fluff" and "amber" and "Czech" and "needlepoint", all these different kinds of LSD supposedly manufactured by different groups...
From what I was told, this is completely wrong....
Supposedly, when LSD is manufactured in mass quantities, in the end you end up with a beaker(or whatever) of fluid....The shit on the very top is called "white fluff", it's pretty much pure LSD, under that the solution gets gradually darker.....The next level is called "silver".....the next level "amber"
It's like salad dressing, it kind of settles into layers, the further toward the bottom the more shit other than LSD is in the solution!
Thing is, and you chemistry guys would know better than me, the shit that's left in the solution other than LSD....some of it is still "active".....and the deeper down you go, the more "sediment" there is and the more of this by-product ends up in the LSD you get....and the more of this shit there is in the blotter you take, the more likely you're gonna experience as being "dirty"....
One last thing....all "needlepoint" is, is the dried, crystallized top layer of the final LSD solution dried, put back into solution and used as a super concentrated liquid LSD, or dropped one dose at a time onto a medium(blotter, sugar cubes, starburst candies whatever) with a syringe.....
It's so concentrated, it literally only take a minute droplet at the end of a syringe to get you spun beyond fucking belief! Hence the name, "needlepoint"....
Sorry if I rambled here, I'm no chemist, I'm juat trying to share what I know of LSD, sorry if this is the wrong place to do it....
