Dr. Albert Hofmann, on the occasion of celebrating the 50th anniversary of his famous bicycle ride:

"You, my dear friends, and millions all over the world who now commemorate the 50th birthday of ergot's child, we all testify gratefully that we got valuable help on the way to what Aldous Huxley said is the end and the ultimate purpose of human life--enlightenment, beatific vision, love. I think all these joyful testimonies of invaluable help by LSD should be enough to convince the health authorities, finally, of the nonsense of the prohibition of LSD and of similar psychedelics."

LSD-25 can be used to break the addiction cycle in drug addicts, alcoholics etc.

boy, its been a while but LSD was part of my addiction. As a matter of fact I STARTED drinking once I quit taking LSD and getting high.

Maybe LSD 25 is a different strain? Like a diferent chemical compound or something.

Depending on your age, you may not have ever taken lsd-25, in later years most so-called lsd is really lsa.

As for lsd addiction, it would be hard, being that one can't trip everyday and if you ever took lsd-25 you would not want to trip everyday or every week for that matter.

I hear only a handful of chemists make the entire lsd-25 supply for America and they been doing this since the 60’s mostly based in CA.

lsa is a natural chemical, and lsd-25 is synthetic. It has been said that if you extract the lsa, and refine it, it can be just as good, or better than lsd, but for the most part the lsa has many more physical side effects due to improper refining techniques.

Do we have any organic chemistry students here?

Is that the opening strains of "White Rabbit" I hear????

Whoa man, I'm trippin!

Elephants dancing with green-feather artichokes, what is that beating sound in the sky, distant lines of light streak like firecracker across the dark blue horizon.

LSD is an extract from ergot, a fungus, but it was very unstable. Hoffman added certain amino acids to it, to stabilize the compound, and created several different compound, though all had the same LSD effect. The 25th compound made in that line by Hoffman was called LSD-25. This is what most LSD is. LSD is actually one of the safest drugs around, that is if you don't physically do something drastic like jump off a building of slit your throat. It has very little long term side effects, if any, and does not do permanent damage to your bodily functions.

LSA is a different chemical. It is extracted from a different source, I think like some seed or plant. The effects are suppose to be like LSD, but I don't know, never tried LSA before.

I'm no organic chemist, but had to take 3 quarters os Ochem in college.

choner

One of my best friends from highschool had a bad trip on street acid (I was there), and it may have accelerated his descent into schizophrenia.

I don't recommend it.

LSA is extracted from the morning glory seeds, (the wood rose seeds have the highest d-lysergic content.) for lsd the lysergic is extracted from the ergot also but is many times more powerfull.

d-lysergic acid amide is also found in the seeds but at very low levels compared to ergot., Hoffmann found this out a few years later when a friend sent him some wood rose seeds to test.

lsa and lsd are much the same, but the lsd has the diethylamide added into the complex synthesis.

Also schizophrenia can be treated with LSD25 studies have shown. That’s why more research needs to be done.

The lsd era is long gone and crack and all that other crap is what the kids want nowadays, no more expanding minds and unlocking doors. How this came to be I don’t really know, its somewhat sad.

The kids on lsd never held up a store for lsd money, I can tell you that much. I think most are lawyers now lol
