Well Shambles, I admit to playing devil's advocate just a bit. I have friends who swear they've not had real clean LSD since 1974. Others like me have had mixed bag experiences... one batch seems clean with lots of visuals and no bodyload. While another batch seems the opposite.
Only seems like common sense to agree with my OWN findings.
It never seems to vary enormously within one batch for me like some are saying it does for them. Same dose and setting, and it seems to feel 95% exactly the same.
But another batch will often feel VERY different, consistently so throughout the entire batch.
One batch giving no bodyload and lots of vsuals, another giving major bodyload and few visuals. For the entire batch of 100-200 doses, at least those I end up sampling out of each.
Common sense says to me, that means there is SOMETHING DIFFERENT about the substance(s). Perhaps there is some LSD in all of it. But I think, not an international conspiracy... just some lazy steps or impure precursors or hasty incomplete purification for removal of related side-molecules, that results in other closely related things being in there with the LSD, perhaps ones not even really much is known about, that could interact with LSD to cause to an "off" aspect to the feeling.
Why do you keep using this silly hyper-paranoid "international conspiracy" term to describe my point of view? You are just trying ridicule it to make your own ideas seem more "scientific" and create an absurd strawman out of mine that so that you can knock it down. In fact, there is NO STATISTICALLY RELEVANT "body of evidence" from testing, as it is all completely scattershot, using different methods, ZERO consistency controls, focused in different times/places, is ONLY looking for the major known drugs of abuse, etc etc. Not the LEAST bit "scientific." And it goes against the common sense, most obvious explanation for my OWN experiences: different batches, that have a consistently different feel to them, are probably a different cocktail of substances. Just because we cant say exactly what it IS and how it works does NOT justify making a blanket assumption for the "all real pure lsd all the time through all history" hypothesis.
Just quit tagging my argument with ridiculous hyper-labels, putting words in my mouth that I never said. Thank you.
