Lysergic acid diethylamide used to be everywhere. LSD played a huge role in shaping pop culture in the 1960s, and in the 1980s everyone lived in fear of LSD-laced temporary tattoos and acid-popping Satanists. But nowadays, you rarely hear about it. What happened?

First, some statistics.

We do know that LSD-related emergency room visits dropped from over 5,000 in 1999 to just 900 in 2002, and have hovered between 2,000 and 4,000 per year since. According to the DEA, the age group most likely to do LSD in the past was high school seniors, and a University of Michigan survey of teen drug use finds a sharp decline in LSD use among 12th graders:



Plus if you google the phrase "LSD shortage," you find lots of message boards discussing this question, although there are plenty of people on those boards saying they still know where to get it.

While reading this article, I noticed that a 2010 bluelight thread had been referenced in that last paragraph. (link)
So if there is an actual decrease in the supply of LSD, what's going on?

The Pickard bust

Most people will point to the 2000 arrest of a man named William L. Pickard, a UCLA researcher who allegedly was one of the biggest LSD suppliers in the world, and was trying to turn a decommissioned missile silo into a drug lab. He was a "superbrilliant chemist" and a Buddhist priest who had already served a four-year stretch for LSD possession in the late 1980s.

The feds claim that Pickard's arrest permanently reduced the supply of LSD in the United States — and there seems to be some truth to this.

Another possible explanation for the decline in LSD availability is that a major distribution network dried up when the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia died and then Phish stopped touring as much. As a poster on one of those message boards explains:

Jerry died & that was a huge hit, then Phish stopped touring like they used to, and that's that. Say what you want about those bands, but their tours provided a pipeline for LSD that sent it trickling down into all the nooks & crannies of the country.

Ya, there are LSD anouglages and the real stuff does pop up every now and again....have a fear LSD is be one of those "rare" psycheldeclics now, or very hard to find unless you are in a circle...some chemist should start supplying the REAL stuff again, and not all these 25i,B,c that people sell as LSD, person takes a buncha blotters thinking it's LSD, then person has a siezure... Keep the 25i blotters in the microgram dose range peeps! No need to take 3 fuckin mg of it. MICRO DOSES people. Maybe hit up some other hippy bands..String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic, Sound Tribe Sector Nine...
 
It's too bad. Doesn't AL-LAD degrade into LSD? Why not get a batch of it and let it degrade in a controlled manner to LSD? I suppose that would be pretty expensive.

Haven't seen / had legit doses here in Ohio for at least 3 or 4 years, and that's when I had real connections.

Edit nevermind, was thinking of ALD-52.
 
If you are having a hard time finding LSD, I suggest becoming familiar with your local psytrance scene (if such a thing exists).
 
real LSD is basically gone forever.. And the few people that still "think" they can get it and what not are just doing some RC from China... 99.99% of the nonsense sold as LSD today is really just some research chem... thats the real truth.

Funny thing is that LSD is 1,000,000 times safer then all the dumb ass RC's that people pass of as "LSD" at festivals or wherever... I hate to say it but i doubt that LSD even exists anymore in American anywhere, its most likely all RC's from China passed off as LSD by shady people. its not that hard to figure out, real LSD is gone forever, no one knows how to make it and the chems required to make it are so hard to get it would be imposssible to actually make it even if you knew how.. thats all i gotta say.
 
Phish never tours Australia but we have lsd pouring out of every doof with a drum circle. Plenty of Nbome now too unfortunately, but there are enough old school hippies who sling it for the lifestyle, not the money to ensure lsd doesnt completely disappear.

That's definitely not true.
I may not be absolutely certain that I am getting "real LSD" as I haven't done any reagent tests; having a tasteless blotter with a duration and comeup etc that are indentical to those of LSD is a very strong indication that it was LSD.
It's still out there in considerable quantity although not near as much as it has been in the past.

they were recently lab tested, here is a report posted on reddit:

OZ LSD Vendor [edit: redacted] 150 ug LSD Lab Test Results From Energy Control

Good stealth communication and shipping time.

Using a virgin account at [edit: some place] I purchased a strip of [edit: some guy] domestic 150 ug LSD. A blotter was cut from this and sent to Energy Control for testing.

Test Results LSD 136 ug

Qualitative report LSD 95.11% ketamine 4.89%

We detected a small presence of ketamine (see in the qualitative report) that may possibly be a contamination from carrying or manipulating them together or nearby. ________________________

In the Qualitative Compound Report list two compounds. User Chromatogram Peak List RT 7.48 Ketamine Area Sum % 4.89 RT 13.19 LSD Area sum % 95.11

I contacted [edit: some guy] with this report and he explained the ketamine :

“It is possible the tabs came in contact with ketamine at some stage as we use the same gloves to package the tabs as we did with about 3oz of ketamine a while ago.

You can be sure the ketamine has zero effect as you need about 30mg at least for ketamine to have any effect. And it is impossible to lay 30mg onto one tab, not even close, even 1mg is a stretch along with the lsd.”

I have no association I am aware of with any darknet vendor or market and did this test for my own empowerment as actual substance, purity and dosage is everything to me. I have posted it for the benefit of others.

[edit: some guy] has been so kind as to reimburse me the cost of the test which is an example other OZ vendors should consider following. I urge all darknet customers to test their substances.

The real truth is that real LSD is still in circulation.
 
My neighbor at electric forest had a reagent test for LSD. We tested 4 different batches of blotter paper we bought walking around randomly. 3/4 where LSD. And the one that wasn't had a strange taste to it upon ingestion. It's all about where you are and who you know

You have no clue.
 
I have a degree from a fairly good university in chemistry, but I would never make LSD myself, because the penalties are absolutely draconian and I would be tripping BALLS while in the lab with it. Access to a clean room is necessary, although Pickard didn't use one. He also admitted he tripped really hard from making it and that that was a difficult experience. LSD is a difficult drug to make, distribute, and use. However, it is ridiculously easy to mail. That is how it was mainly distributed at the wholesale, high dollar level during the Grateful Dead / Phish years.
 
Well, if there is a shortage of LSD, I would hate to see the world if it was flooded more than it is now. Like anything else like it, you have to know where to look, and go from there. I mean, I have seen PAGES of LSD given away in contests on forums and have a close friend that hung out at one notable forum and actually had the vendor send him 900 hits of blotter as a "prize". Aside from all that, there are many wise people, who have the skills, know-how, and are motivated by the incredible $ to be made off the large demand. At over 20k a gram, if you produce it, you are producing a gold mine's worth of revenue. I know this post is old, but I laugh when I see that there is some "shortage" of LSD. It's just a matter of how patient you are in terms of waiting for it to arrive in your box. Easier than falling off a log, getting LSD. And yes, of course it isn't "all RCs", either, though some have tried to pass them off. There is no mistaking LSD for anything else, even the compounds that come close. Just my 2 penny's worth. There are well-established routes to fine LSD that are wide open for business, and only some BC away...

To be fair those tests can't tell lysergamiseds from LSD.

But I will second that there is plenty of confirmed LSD in circulation. Anyone that knows how to google search can see the same
