4) Making LSD.
LSD is not easy to make. If you're seriously interested the
various methods of synthesis can be found in chemistry journals (see
the Merck Index for a list of references). Also, the book _Psychedelic
Chemistry_ (available from Loompanics, Unld. -- see end of FAQ list)
has some rather good, referenced info on how to synthesize LSD.
However, do expect to be in *way* over your head unless you've had
at least a few years of college chemistry.
Please don't post asking for "simple" instructions on how to make
LSD. There aren't. And if you *needed* "simple" instructions to make
LSD, you're probably not a good chemist and shouldn't be attempting
to synthesize it.
Also, the synthesis instructions in The Anarchist Cookbook are
about 90% bullshit. The "synthesis" given is at best a recipe for the
extraction of Lysergic Acid Amides (which is not LSD), and some have
commented that the instructions are still flawed and dangerous. Also,
the reproduction of the patent on how to make LSD has reported to be
flawed -- please don't trust the A.C and order the patent for yourself.
The A.C. in general is something which is best to avoid.
An alternative to synthesizing LSD is using LSA from morning
glory seeds or Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds. See the natural highs
FAQ for more info on this. Also see the book Psychedelic Chemistry
for a simple procedure to extract the LSA from the seeds in order to
eliminate contaminants.
