No, LSD is harder to make, and the ingredients are just as hard, if not harder to get, than the ones for MDMA.
With LSD you can get 10,000+ doses from a gram.
With MDMA you can get about 8 doses from a gram.
So even though MDMA costs $20-40 a dose, you only get around $300 a gram tops.
With LSD, even at $4 a hit, your looking at $40,000 for a gram.
LSD is measured in micro grams, MDMA is measured in milligrams.
So even though it is much harder in every way to make LSD than it is to make MDMA, LSD is much more potent, you can make an insane amount of money, even if your only selling it for $1-2 a hit, if you have even as little as 7 grams.
Think about it.
An ounce of LSD is 280,000 hits.
At $5 a hit, that is $1,400,000.
1.4 million for an ounce!
Even if you sell it wholesale for $2.50 a hit, that is $700,000 for an ounce!
The people who got busted in '98 had over a pound of LSD.
That is tens of millions of dollars, even if sold dirt cheap.
