MAKING LSD ------ ---
Common LSD, being of the strangest drugs, available to people on the black market, is not too hard to make in your average run-of-the-mill kitchen. LSD (Lysergic acid Diethylamide) is a complex organic mixure that gives some people (most) a trip to the moon or other nearby celestial body.
ITEMS NEEDED: ----- ------
1-About 200-250 grams of MORNING GLORY SEEDS or BAY HAWAIIAN WOOD ROSE SEEDS. The Morning Glory seeds can be obtained at most plant nurseries.
2-200 cc. of petroleum ether
3-Small piece of window screen or a strainer
4-A couple of large glasses
5-cookie tray (an old one, never to be used again)
6-260 cc. of wood alcohol (call your local drug store).
7-Capsule containers (jel)
=========================================================================
Let's get started:
1. Grind up about 170 grams of Morning Glory Seeds.
2. In 145 cc. of petroleum ether, soak the seeds for two or three days.
3. With screen, filter the liquid thru it and save the seed mush and allow it to dry completely.
4. Let the mush soak in 130 cc. of wood alcohol.
5. Filter solution again only. Save the liquid in a large glass jar.
6. Soak the seed mush again in 130 cc. of wood alcohol for two more days.
7. Filter out the mush and keep the liquid. Now, get the liquid that was saved in step 5.
8. Now, pour both liquids in a cookie tray and let it dry.
9. When all the liquid has dried, a yellowish gummy looking substance will appear on the cookie sheet.
10. Take the yellow gum and put this into capsules.
=========================================================================
You can get the capsules just by buying something like DEXITRIM or some other pill. Even CONTACT comes in jel capsules. Just empty them out and put the yellow gum in the capsules. Allow the capsules to sit over night for best results.
34 Grams of morning glory=1 trip to da moon 18 Grams of hawaiian wood=Another trip to da moon

WELCOME TO MY FILE ON LSD. IN THIS I WILL DIRECTLY WRITE THE SECTION ON LSD FROM THE BOOK ANARCHISTS COOKBOOK
---------------------------------------LSD I THINK, OF ALL THE DRUGS ON THE BLACK MARKET TODAY, LSD IS THE MOST INTERESTING AND THE STRANGEST. IT IS THE MOST RECENT MAJOR DRUG TO COME TO LIFE IN THE PSYCHEDELIC SUBCULTURE. HUXLEY EXPERIMEN TED WITH MESCALINE MANY YEARS BEFORE PSYCHEDELICS REACHED THEIR MASS-MARKET PROPORTIONS,BUT THIS EXPERIMENTATION WAS NOT WITH THE SAME FRAME OF MIND AS THESE DRUGS ARE HANDLED TODAY. PROBABLY THE GREAT-GRANDDADDY TO THE WHOLE PSYCHEDELIC COMMUNITY WAS ANTONIN ARTAUD , WHO PERSONALLY EXPERIMANTED WITH PEYOTE IN MEXICO. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUXLEY'S AND ARTAUD'S EXPERIMENTATION WAS THAT HUXLEY MANAGED TO KEEP HIS EXPERIENCES UNDER LABATORY CONTROL, WHICH HE SET UP HIMSELF,WHEREAS ARTAUD ALLOWED HIS EXPERIENCES TO BECOME PART OF HIS LIFE. ARTAUD WAS CHANGED BY HIS ENCOUNTERS WITH PEYOTE, WAS THIS BAD? A DIRTY SHIRT IS ALSO CHANGED WHEN IT IS WASHED. THROUGH THIS CHANGE ARTAUD WAS ABLE TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND IDEAS
AND CONCEPTS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL. HE WAS ABLE TO TEAR APART RATIONALIZATIONS, WITH OUT REGAURD FOR CONTEMPORARY METHODS OF ORGANIZATION, OR EVEN CONTEMPORARY VERSIONS OF TRUTH. ARTAUD FOUND,IN HIS OWN WAY,HIS OWN TRUTHS AND HIS OWN STRUCTURES OF VALUE. THEY LOCKED HIM UP...
I DIED AT RODEZ UNDER ELECTROSHOCK.
I DIED. LEGALLY AND MEDICALLY DIED.
ELECTROSHOCK COMA LASTS 15 MINUTES. A HALF AND HOUR OR MORE THEN THE PATIENT BRETHES.
NOW ONE HOUR AFTER THE SHOCK,I STILL HAD HAD NOT AWADEND AND HAD STOPED BREATHI . SURPRISED AT MY ABNORMAL RIDGIDRY, AN ATTENDENT HAD GONE TO GET HE PHYSISION IN CHARGE,WHO,AFTER EXAMINING ME,FOUND NO MORE SIGNS OF LIFE IN ME.
THIS PASSAGE WAS TAKEN FROM THE ARTAUD ANTHOLOGY. I FIND THIS IMPOSSIBLE TO THROW THIS OF AS THE RAVINGS
OF A MADMAN FOR,IF THAT BE TRUE, THAN THERE CAN BE NO TRUTH, ONLY MADNES AND SANITY, LOGIC AND ILLOGIC.
LSD HAS NEVER CAUSED INSANITY. IT DOES NOT HAVE THAT POWER. ALL LSD DOES IS ALLOW A MAN TO LOOK UPON ORDINARY THINGS AND EVEN ON HIMSELF MANY TIMES FOR THE FIRST TIME. LSD CANNOT BRINGOUT LATENT QUALITIES IN YOUR PERSONALITY. IT CANNOT MAKE YOU CRAZY,JUST AS IT CANNOT MAKE YOU INTO A WARMER MORE BEUTIFULL PERSON. WHAT LSD CAN DO IS SHOW YOU WHAT YOU AS A PERSON IS COMPRISED OF. LSD IS NOTHING BUT A MEDIUM TO DISCOVER THE ESSANCE OF BEING.
LSD HAS BEEN ILLEGAL FOR YEARS NOW, MAKING IT AVAILABLE ON THE BLACK MARKET. WHEN BUYING ANYTHING ON THE BLACK MARKET FOLLOW THESE IMORTANT RULES (TG: THESE ARE JUST COMMON SENSE BUT SOME PEOPLE DONT USE IT)
1. NEVER BUY OF THE STREET OF FROM A STRANGER.
2. NEVER FRONT MONEY.
3. IF YOU ARE HOLDING A LARGE SUM OF MONEY NEVER GO ALONE ANYWHERE WITH SOMEONE YOU DONT TRUST, MANY DEALERS ARE IN REALITY JUKIES TOO.
4. NEVER TAKE A WEAPON WITH YOU WHEN DEALING WITH DOPE.
5. NEVER BUY A LARGE QUANTITY WITHOUT SAMPLING IT FIRST
6. IF YOUR ARE IN THE DEALERS APARTMENT NEVER EXCEPT FOOD FROM HIM.
7. BAD ACID IS USUALLY NOTHING MORE THAN SPEED, OR RAT POISON.
8. NEVER BUY L.B.J. IT IS A MIX OF ACID,BELLODONNA,HEROIN.
---------------------------------------SINCE MOST OF US CANT GET ACCESS TO A LAB I WILL GO RIGHT TO THE SECTION ON MAKIND LSD IN YOU KITCHIN,
---------------------------------------MAKING LSD IN YOU KITCHIN 1. GRIND UP 150 GRAMS OF MORNING GLORY SEEDS OR BABY HAWAIIAN WOOD ROSE SEEDS.
2. IN 130 CC. OF PETROLEUM ETHER, SOAK SEEDS FOR 2 DAYS.
3. FILTER SOLUTION THROUGH TIGHT SCREEN THEN THROW AWAY THE LIQUID AND ALLOW THE SEED MUSH TO DRY.
4. FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS ALLOW THE MUSH TO SOAK IN 110 CC. OF WOOD ALCHOL.
5. FILTER THE SOLUTION AGAIN AND SAVING THE LIQUID IN A VIAL LABLED "1".
6. REPEAT STEPS 4 AND 5 PUTTIN THE LIQUID IN VIAL "2" AND THROWIN ` AWAY THE MUSH.
7. POUR THE 2 LIQUIDS IN A COOKIE TRAY AND ALLOW TO EVAPORATE. WHEN THIS IS DONE SCRAPE OF YELLOW MUCK,THIS IS YOUR FINAL PRODUCT.
MANY COMPANIES POISON THEIR SEEDS SO EITHER USE SEEDS U PICKED YOURSELF OR ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY.

How to make LSD : by Dr. D-Code & The Pimp brough to CAL by CC. --------------------------------------1. Grind up 150 grams of baby Hawaiian wood rose seeds 2. In 130cc of petroleum ether, soak seeds for 2 days 3. Filter solution thru a tight screen 4. Throw away liquid and allow the seed mush to dry 5. For 2 days allow the mush to soak in 110cc of wood alcohol 6. Filter the solution again saving the liquid and labelling it #1 7. Re-soak the mush in 110cc of wood alcohol for 2 days 8. Filter and throw away the mush 9. Add the liquid from the second soak to the solution labeled #1 10. Pour the liquid into a cookie tray and let it evaporate 11. When the liquid has evaporated, a yellow gum remains
12. Scrape the yellow stuff into capsules. Order the seeds from a wholesaler >onlyFrom "The PharmChem Newsletter" (vol 3, no 3), 1973:
Summary of Street Drug Results - 1973: "Of 189 samples of LSD quantitatively analyzed, the average dose was 67.25ug LSD. Of the 32 samples of alleged mescaline actually containing mescaline, [...stuff about mescaline and mushrooms deleted...] It is interesting to note the low incidence of deception among the less sought after psychotomimetics LSD and PCP."
..............................
This is the PharmChem analysis of LSD from 1972 (vol 1, no 1) up to the time that the DEA no longer allowed them to make quantitative measurements (1974vol 3, no 2 included). NOTE: NO STRYCHNINE! also note that PharmChem found a sample of Shrooms contaminated with Strychnine in 1972 (vol 1, no 7), and I would think it safe to assume that they also checked LSD for Strychnine.
******************************
BAD TRIPS:
A person on LSD who becomes depressed, agitated, or confused may experience these feelings in an overwhelming manner that grows on itself. The best solution is to remove disturbing influences, get to a safe, comforting environment, and reassure the tripper that things are alright. It may comfort those who fear that they are losing their minds to be reminded that it will end in several hours.
Authorities are fond of administering injections of anti-psychotic drugs. Recovery in the presence of authorities, in hospitals or police stations, is not pleasant. Sedatives or tranquilizers such as Valium may help reduce panic and anxiety, but the best solution is calm talking. Some claim that niacin (an over the counter vitamin supplement) can abort a trip, but this may be due to a placebo effect (niacin produces a flushing effect).
******************************
MYTHS:
LSD does not form "crystals" that reside in the body to be "dislodged" later, causing flashbacks. LSD is a crystalline solid (though it is unlikely that one would ever have enough to be visible to the naked
eye) but it is easily water soluble, thus cannot form bodily deposits. Furthermore, it is metabolized and excreted in hours. The bogus "loosened crystal" description in not necessary to explain flashbacks, which are psychological phenomena (see FLASHBACKS).
LSD does not cause chromosome damage.
In Science 30 April 1972, Volume 172 Number 3982 p. 431-440 there was an article by Norman I. Dishotsky, William D. Loughman, Robert E. Mogar and Wendell R. Lipscomb titled "LSD and Genetic Damage - Is LSD chromosome damaging, carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic?". They reviewed 68 studies and case reports published 1967-1972, concluding "From our own work and from a review of literature, we believe that pure LSD ingested in moderate doses does not damage chromosomes in vivo, does not cause detectable genetic damage, and is not a teratogen or carcinogen in man."
Well, there's the study by Sidney Cohen which was cited here recently, Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 130, 1960. The following is from Jay Stevens' Storming Heaven: "Cohen surveyed a sample of five thousand individuals who had taken LSD twenty-five thousand times. He found and average of 1.8 psychotic episodes per thousand ingestions, 1.2 attempted suicides, and 0.4 completed suicides. 'Considering the enormous scope of the psychic responses it induces,' he concluded, 'LSD is an astonishingly safe drug.'"
Some urban legends: I've heard two "stories" about people blinding
themselves on "drugs". One was revealed as a hoax by the person who perpetrated it (apparently it was intended to "illustrate" the dangers of LSD), another is trotted out by anti-drug speakers at high schools:
1) Seven people on LSD stared at the sun and lost 90% of their reading vision.
2) A teenager arrested while on LSD plucked out his eyeballs in his jail cell, and felt no pain.
While these are bogus, the drug has powerful effects on the mind and the consumer should be aware of the hazards, and act appropriately.
..............................
There is an occasionally circulated fake warning from some police department about LSD-laced "tattoos" or stickers (the "blue star tattoo" story) being given to children. This probably originated with some hick cop or ignorant and panicky parent not understanding some children-cartoon (eg, mickey mouse in sorcerer's garb) printed on a sheet of blotter.
..............................

******************************
DANGERS:
Purely psychological hazards, not harmful to body. May release latent psychosis or exacerbate depression, leading to irrational behavior. There is also a danger of foolish or incautious behavior, e.g, misjudging distances or thinking one can fly. Physical overdose is not a hazard, though one may easily ingest more than one may be able to handle psychologically.
..............................
Because the "LSD psychosis" is not distinguishable from non-druginduced psychosis, we have reasonable evidence to conclude that LSD was not the sole cause of psychosis. Instead, it would seem that the drug brought on the problems in vulnerable individuals. Interestingly, the rate of parental alcoholism was found to be much higher in LSD patients than in other patients or in the general population by one study (Vardy and Kay, Arch-Gen-Psych, 1983 40(8): 877-83).
..............................
Lethal (toxic) doses of LSD are conservatively several tens of thousands of times as much as a normal dose, making it (in the toxic sense) one of the safest drugs known. See section on Pharmacology for description of bodily side-effects.
The LD50 for psilocybin (active ingredient in mushrooms) is 275 mg/kg i.v. in mice. Of course, it would take lots more p.o. to kill someone.
The reported LD50 values for LSD are 46, 16.5, 0.3 mg/kg I.V. for mice, rats, and rabbits, respectively. Again, it's hard to accurately translate these numbers to oral values.
Note that an average human dose is 0.001 mg/kg, ie, 1 microgram/kg, ie, 1 part per billion by weight.

FLASHBACKS:
Quoted without permission from 'Licit and Illicit Drugs,' written by Edward M. Brecher and the editors of Consumer Reports. ISBN: 0-316-15340-0
A simple explanation of LSD flashbacks, and of their changed character after 1967, is available. According to this theory, almost everybody suffers flashbacks with or without LSD. Any intense emotional experience--the death of a loved one, the moment of discovery that one is in love, the moment of an automobile smashup or of a narrow escape from a
smashup--may subsequently and unexpectedly return vividly to consciousness weeks or months later. Since the LSD trip is often an intense emotional experience, it is hardly surprising that it may similarly "flash back."
"Post-traumatic stress disorder has been commonly associated with war veterans, but it also affects victims of disasters and violence... Experts estimate that 1% of the population suffers from the disorder." ---LA Times, Feb 18 1992, p A3, "Journey For Better Life Hell For Some Women."
******************************
INSOMNIA:
Insomnia occurs frequently after the trip. A mild, over-the-counter sleeping aid can help, and these antihistamines do not produce adverse interactions. Also, some people like to consume a small amount of alcoholic beverage to "smooth the jitteries". The usual precautions about sleeping aids if alcohol has been consumed apply of course.
******************************
TOLERANCE:
Aquired rapidly, within 3 days. Tolerance dissipates equally rapidly, without withdrawal, craving, or symptoms of addiction.
Cross-tolerance can and is developed between other indole hallucinogens, eg, DMT, LSD and Psilocybin.

BOTANY:
"Indole Alkaloids In Plant Hallucinogens" Richard Evans Schultes, PhD. Journal of Psychedelic Drugs Vol.8(No.1) Jan-Mar 1976
"The main constituent of the seeds of Rivea corymbosa is ergine or d-lysergic acid amide. Minor alkaloids present are the related d-isolysergic acid amide (isoergine), chanoclavine, elymoclavine and lysergol. The seeds of Ipomoea violacea have a similar composition, but instead of lysergol, they have ergometrine (ergonovine). Later, very minor amounts of two alkaloids ergometrinine and penniclavine - were found in I. violacea by chromatography. the total alkaloid content of the seeds of Ipomoea viloacea is approximately five times as great as that of the seeds of Rivea corymbosa: 0.06% in the former; 0.012% in the latter. This difference in the alkaloid content explains why Indians employ smaller doses of seeds of the Ipomoea than of the Rivea.

ANTHROPOLOGY:
_The Road to Eleusius_ by Hoffman, Wasson, and Ruck.
Summary: A secret religion existed for 2,000 years in Greece (until the christians displaced it around 400 AD). The initiation was open to anyone who spoke Greek and hadn't committed murder, once in their
life. After 6 month long preparatory rituals, members walked to Eleusius whereupon they underwent secret rituals. The rituals remained secret until the 1970's.
Wasson, an ethnomycological scholar and former banker (and the first white to trip on shrooms with the mexican indians) proposed the following explanation of the Eleusian mysteries to Hoffman, an ergot-alkaloid expert chemist, and Ruck, a greek scholar:
The Secret of the ritual involved the personal visions induced by drinking the grain decoction administered to the initiates. The domestication of grains permitted the development of greek civilization; it also brought ergot fungus (of St. Anthony's fire infamy).
The thin book contains their argument for the use of the ergot fungus in Eleusian rites, Wasson providing some background on the use of mushrooms and grains and their role in the culture; Hoffman on the psychoactivity of ergot strains; and Ruck on the mythological and cultural backround of the sect.
Evidence includes: Hoffman dosed himself with large (ergot-derived) doses of obstetric compounds to assay their hallucinogenic potential, and found them to possess such activity. The Eleusian temple site still remains, but there is no room to view theatric performances, just rows of tripping initiates, further supporting their argument.
An interesting read, and its neat to think that the culture that more or less lead to the western industrial one had psychedelic rites. (Various greek prominant figures attended the rituals, including Plato).

IPOMOEA PURPUREA: A NATURALLY OCCURRING PSYCHEDELIC
Charles Savage, Willis W. Harman and James Fadiman
>From "Altered States of Consciousness, A Book of Readings" edited by Charles Tart BF311.T28
Of the naturally occurring plant alkaloids used in ancient and modern religious rites and divination one of the least studied is ololiuqui. The earliest known description of its use is by Hernandez, the King of Spain's personal physician, who spent a number of years in Mexico studying the medicinal plants of the Indians and "accurately illustrated ololiuqui as a morning glory in his work which was not published until 1651" (Schultes, 1960). In his words, "When a person takes ololiuqui, in a short time he loses clear reasoning because of the strength of the seed, and he believes he is in communion with the devil" (Alacon, 1945). Schultes (1941) and Wasson (1961) have reported in detail on the religious and divinatory use of two kinds of morning-glory seeds, Rivea corymbosa and Ipomoea violacea, among the Mazatec and Zapotec indians. The first of these is assumed to be the ololiuqui of the ancient Aztecs.
In 1955 Osmond described personal experiments with Rivea corymbosa seeds and reported that the effects were similar to those of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25). He suggested (1957) that the word psychedelic (meaning mind-manifesting) be used as a generic term for this class of substances to refer to their consciousness-expanding and psychotherapeutic function as contrasted with the hallucinogenic aspect. In 1960 Hoffman reported that he had isolated d-lysergic acid amide (LA) and d-isolysergic acid amide from the seed of both Rivea corymbosa and Ipomoea violacea. LA is very similar to LSD in its psychological and physiological manifestations but is reported to have about one twentieth the psychological effectiveness of LSD (Cerletti & Doepfner, 1958).
The work of these investigators led us to a preliminary study of the psychedelic properties of species of Ipomoea which are commonly found within the continental United States. The seeds of Ipomoea purpurea, the common climbing morning glory, resemble the seeds of Ipomoea violacea and have been found to have similar psychedelic properties. Recent analysis by Taber et al. (1963) has verified that LA is present in the varieties used and is probably the primary active agent.
The effects of the seeds of Ipomoea purpurea (varieties Heavenly Blue and Pearly Gates) in a total of 45 cases are summarized below. The subjects are all normally functioning adults and the majority had previous experience with LSD. The onset of effects is about half an hour after the seeds have been chewed and swallowed and they last from five to eight hours.
Low Dose, 20-50 Seeds (11 Subjects)
This dosage rarely produces any visual distortions, although with eyes closed there may be beginning imagery. Restlessness, evidenced by alternating periods of pacing about and lying down, may be present. There tends to be a heightened awareness of objects and of nature, and enhanced rapport with other persons. A feeling of emotional clarity and of relaxation is likely to persist for several hours after other effects are no longer noticeable.
Medium Dose, 100-150 Seeds (22 Subjects)
In this range the effects resemble those reported for medium-dose (75-150 micrograms) LSD experiences, including spatial distortions, visual and auditory hallucinations, intense imagery with eyes closed, synaesthesia and mood elevation. These effects, which occur mainly during the period of 1 to 4 hours after ingestion, are typically followed by a period of alert calmness which may last until the subject goes to sleep.
High Dose, 200-500 Seeds (12 Subjects)
In this range the first few hours may resemble the medium-dose effects described above. However, there is usually a period during which the subjective states are of a sort not describable in terms of images or distortions, states characterized by loss of ego boundaries coupled with feelings of euphoria and philosophical insight. These seem to parallel the published descriptions of experiences with high doses (200-500 micrograms) of
LSD given in a supportive, therapeutic setting as reported by Sherwood et al. (1962).
All the subjects who had previous experience with LSD claimed the effects of the seeds were similar to those of LSD. Transient nausea was the most commonly reported side effect, beginning about one half hour after ingestion and lasting a few minutes to several hours. Other reported side effects not commonly found with LSD were a drowsiness or torpor (possibly due to a glucoside also present in the seeds) and a coldness in the extremities suggesting that the ergine content of the seeds may be causing some vascular constriction. (If this is the case, there may be some danger of ergot poisoning resulting from excessive dosages of the seeds.) The only untoward psychic effect was a prolonged (eight hours) disassociative reaction which was terminate with chlorpromazine [Thorazine]. The possibility of prolonged adverse reactions to the psychological effects of the seeds is essentially the same as with LSD, and the same precautions should be observed (Cohen & Ditman, 1963).

IPOMOEA.003 7-MAY-90
Additional Notes: Ipomoea purpurea is sold as the "Heavenly Blue" variety of morning glory. "Ipomoea tricolor" is the trade name used for that variety. It is identical with the species of morning glory described above.
The seeds must be chewed or ground in order to be effective. Soaking the ground seeds in water for several hours, filtering out the grounds, and then drinking only the water portion of the mixture can reduce some of the stomach-upset symptoms if such occur.
Unpleasant LSD and morning glory trips can be smoothed out or even stopped by taking niacin (in the form of nicotinic acid, vitamin B-3 or "niacin"). Vitamin C has been shown to reduce the incidence of paranoia and prevent depletion of the vitamin from the adrenal glands during LSD trips.
There have been reports that commercially available packets of morning glory seeds from some distributors are coated with fungicides or other chemicals to increase shelf life or discourage the practice of eating them. Seeds from plants grown in one's own garden will be safe as long as you do not spray them with insecticides.
The last few notes about Niacin and Vitamin C are based on a paperback edition of Hoffer & Osmonds "The Psychedelics"
It's pretty clear that the latin names of this plant are somewhat confused (which is typical). Ipomoea purpurea, Ipomoea tricolor, Ipomoea violacea and Ipomoea rubro-caerulea are all the same plant.
The other variety of morning glory, "Ololiuhqui" has at least two Latin names as well: Rivea corymbosa, and Turbina corymbosa.

"Recreational use of Ergoline Alkaloids from Argyreia Nervosa" William E. Shawcross Journal of Psychedelic Drugs Vol. 15(4) Oct-Dec 1983
CHEMISTRY AND EFFECT OF THE SEEDS The Hawaiian baby woodrose entered the drug scene in 1965 with the publication of a paper in "Science" entitled "Ergoline Alkaloids in Tropical Wood Roses" by Hylin and Watson. The wide circulation of this journal assured thorough dissemination of the information they presented. They wrote, "The possible health and legal problems associated with the presence of similar compounds in commercially cultivated plants led us to examine the ornamental wood roses, Ipomoea tuberosa and Argyreia nervosa, both common Hawaiian crops that have assumed commerical importance as components of [the] dried tropical flower industry." Comparing the seeds of these two plants with those of the morning glory varieties Pearly Gates and Heavenly Blue, they found the following yield of alkaloids (mg of alkaloid/g of seed material):
Heavenly Blue Pearly Gates
0.813 0.423
I. tuberosa
[None]
A. nervosa
3.050
The seed of A. nervosa is the best plant source of ergoline alkaloids discovered; it contains approximately 3 mg of alkaloidal material per gram of seed. Approximately one-eighth of this is lysergamide.
Hylin and Watson found the major alkaloidal constituents in A. nervosa seeds to be ergine (780 mcg/g of fresh seed) and isoergine and penniclavine (555 mcg).
[Note: Argyreia nervosa has NO history of shamanic use as a hallucinogen]
This is an excerpt from the article cited. There's no record of Argyreia being used as an hallucinogen in India, but it was used externally as some kind of skin medicine. There's been speculation that Argyreia might have been a component of "Soma", but there's no evidence for that, apparently. Because there's not a long history of human usage of Argyreia, it may be that there are glycosides not mentioned here that take effect at higher doses or might cause stomach upset, tachycardia etc. The article mentioned intestinal complaints in one or two cases at higher experimental doses.

CHEMISTRY:
lysergic acid diethylamide _is_ lysergic acid diethylamide (or... N,N-diethyl-D-lysergamide or... 9,10-Didehydo-N,N-diethyl-6-methylergoline-8B-carboxamide).
Only one stereoisomer (the d-) is psychoactive. Thus, racemic (l/d 50-50 mix) lsd shows half the potency of the dextro form. In synthesis it is possible to recover the l-form for the lysergic acid.
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide is LSD rather than LAD because the German word for acid is saeure (sp).

Ergot is a product of the fungus Claviceps purpurea. The bio-active ingredients of ergot are all derivatives of lysergic acid. LSD is a semisynthetic derivative of lysergic acid. Thus LSD is an "ergot"-like substance.
******************************
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
(Note: the mechanism of action of LSD and other psychedelics is uncertain.)
>From a chapter titled Hallucinogens and Other Psychotomimetics: Biological Mechanisms by S.J.Watson
"The current thesis of the effect of indole hallucinogens on 5-hydroxytrypamine might be stated as follows: LSD acts to preferentially inhibit serotonergic cell firing and seems to spare postsynaptic serotnergic receptors. This preference is shared by other simillar hallucinogens but in
a limited fashion. Nonhallucinogenic analogs of LSD show no preference. These results suggest that there are two different steric conformation of serotonergic receptors, one of which has higher affinity for LSD than the other. In general, 5-ht is an inhibitory transmitter; thus, when its activity is decreased, the next neuron in the chain is freed from inhibition and becomes more active. Since serotnergic systems appear to be intimately involved int eh control of sensation, sleep, attention, and mood, it may be possible to explain the actions of LSD and other hallucinogens by their disinhibition of these critical systems.
There is also evidence for interaction with dopaminergic systems.
..............................
LSD acts as a 5HT autoreceptor agonist in the raphe nucleus. These autoreceptors are typically considered to be 5HT1As. It also acts as a 5HT2 agonist, which is thought to be the main site of hallucinogenic activity. It's probably best called a a mixed 5HT2/5HT1 receptor partial agonist.
I don't know of its effects on dopamine. Wouldn't be surprised if it has 'em; the systems aren't really functionally separable. The DA effects wouldn't be necessary for hallucinogenic activity, I'd bet.

******************************
RELATED COMPOUNDS:
Related compounds are the indole hallucinogens including DMT (dimethyl-tryptamine), DET (diethyl-), etc.; psilocybin; lysergic acid. DMT is very fast acting, lasting less than an hour. Psilocybin, found in hallucinogenic (aka magic or mexican) mushrooms, has effects similar to LSD but they work for approximately half the duration. These are all indole derivatives like the neurotransmitter serotonin, 5-hydroxy-tryptamine. "Indole" is the name of the 6-carbon ring attached to the 5-ring containing a nitrogen. The lysergic acid molecule contains an indole structure plus additional rings.
LSD's two ethyl groups hanging off the amine may be replaced with other carbon chains for compounds with different durations, potencies, and effects.
While LSD is semi-synthetic, DMT and psilocybin are found in nature. See the sections on BOTANY and ANTHROPOLOGY for info on related natural (plant) compounds and their uses.
..............................
1) DMT, DET, psylocin, psylocybin, : The mushroom psylocybin cubensis
contains all four of these indole derivatives, as well as others. DMT is dimethyltryptamine, an indole derivative which has functionalized at the 3 position with the dimethyl ethylamine group. It is a close relative to the amino acid, tryptophan, which until recently was available in bulk at vitamin shops, until some jerk poisoned himself by taking a wonga dose of it. [Actually it may have been a single toxic batch mistakenly produced in Japan.] A prep came out in 1984 for LSD using l--tryptophan as the precursor, so this may have facilitated the government's pullin it from the shelves. I can't find tryptophan anywhere, now, and I've tried, bud. DMT, and it's brother DET (diethyltryptamine), have no oral activity, so have to be smoked. They stink like fish oil when lit, though. Both have hallucinogenic effects within 2-3 minutes of toking, wand while DMT lasts for only a half hour, DET is a smoother, more euphoric high, lasting twice as long. DET has effects similar to psylocybin. Psylocybin is DMT which has a functional group, phosphoryloxy-, at the 4 position on the indole ring. This group is immediately converted to hydroxyl- as soon as the stuff hits your stomach to give the cousin, psylocin. In preparing the drug, then, it is not necessary to proceed beyond the psylocin. DMT and DET are easily derived from many indole derivatives, the easiest of which is indole-3-acetic acid. I've done this reaction and it stinks to high heaven of indole gunge, skatoles (methylindoles), and indenes. Bad news if you want to make it at home, because the stench is pervasive. Other derivatives, using phenyl or butyl groups have been reported as having oral activity, so it is not necessary to smoke the stuff. Doses run at about a hundred mgs for smoked drug, while psylocin is orally active at about 5 mgs.

MANUFACTURE:
Forget it. Precursors (ergot alkaloids, used medicinally for migraines and
ob/gyn due to their vasoconstrictive effects) are closely watched. (They are obtained through commercially cultured ergot fungus; one could theoretically extract lsyergic amides from morning glory or Hawaiian wood rose seeds.) (Though there are routes to synthesize lysergic acid from "scratch", these are complicated also.) Other typically needed chemicals are very dangerous. Serious experience in organic chemistry lab would be necessary. If you have to ask where to find the recipes, you don't know enough about chemistry to try it. (For the curious: the _Anarchists Cookbook_ is a bad place to start. _Psychedelic Chemistry_ is better, the patent office or chem. lit. better.) And you'll probably trip during manufacture if you actually succeed. Its easier and safer to buy it on the black market.
******************************
DRUG TESTING:
No risk. Its not looked for, hard to find, and transient.
..............................
"A maximum concentration of 2-8 ng/ml [Plasma concentration of LSD] was reached 1.0-1.25 h after an oral dose of 160 ug. ...[A] value of 2.9 h for the elimination half-life of LSD from plasma [was reached].
[Upshall, D.G., Wailling, D.G.: The determination of LSD in human plasma following oral administration. Clinica Chimica Acta 36, 67-73 (1972)]
Second of all, LSD and its metabolites are detectable in the urine for much longer than one hour.
"LSD and its metabolites were still detectable in human urine for as long as 4 days after the ingestion of 0.2 mg of the drug. [Faed, E.M., McLeod, W.R.: A urine screening test of lysergide. Journal of Chromatographic Science. 11, 4-6 (1973)]
Note that standard, cheap initial drug screening does not use chromatography or mass-spectrometry, and does not look for LSD.
..............................
Spinal taps are not particularly useful (cerebro-spinal fluid doesn't concentrate LSD or metabolites) and are never done under any circumstances: they are painful and dangerous.
..............................
You might want to mention that Abbie Hoffman's _Steal This Urine Test_ has a table which claims lsd is detectable for 40 days. I'm almost sure this was a typo.
..............................
> 1] How long can LSD be detected in the body?
This varies by the test being used, the detection limit placed on the test, the point of collection and type of the sample fluid, the amount of LSD that was taken, and the individual in question.
Assuming the testers are using an RIA screening test with the cutoff set at 0.1 ng/ml and assuming that the user has recently emptied their bladder, then the detection limit for one hit (100 ug) is normally around 30 hours. Each doubling of the initial amount will add about 5 hours. Thus taking 8 hits will leave a user vulnerable for approximately 2 days. (NOTE: This is based on the data in [7])
> 2] What exact form of test can be used to detect LSD in the body? There are a number of tests which can be used to detect LSD in the body.
Abuscreen, a product of Roche Diagnostic Systems, is a series of RadioImmunoAssay (RIA) tests, one of which is used to detect LSD and its metabolites in whole blood, serum (blood), urine and stomach contents [1]. RIA can in theory be used to detect quantities as small as 0.020 nanograms (ng) per milliliter (ml) of sample [2]. Laboratory tests have shown that RIA results are accurate down to at least 0.1 ng/ml [3]. The manufacturer recommends limiting the cutoff to 0.5 ng/ml.
EMIT, a product of Syva Corporation, is another series of tests, one of which can be used to detect LSD and its metabolites in serum and urine. EMIT stands for Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique.
Both EMIT and Abuscreen are "positive/negative" response tests (much like pregnancy tests) which require periodic equipment calibration and consume chemicals for each test performed. A basic battery of tests costs approx. $15-$25 per person [4]. The basic tests (recommended by NIDA) include marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and phencyclidine (PCP). Normally, unless an (employer) specifically requests the test, an LSD assay is not run.
Both Roche and Syva recommend confirmation of positive results by using a different test. The usual method of confirming positive results is some form of chromatography. These include High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)[3], and different forms of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)[5][6][7][8][9]. HPTLC and GC/MS can be used to give quantitative results as opposed to the Boolean results from EMIT or Abuscreen. Laboratory tests have shown that GC/MS test for LSD in urine[6] and blood[7] can be accurate down to 0.1 ng/ml. The cost for confirmation of a positive screening test is approximately $50-60.
Positive results to either EMIT and RIA are held to be "probable cause" by U.S. courts. GC/MS results are held to be "proof" by U.S. courts.
> I am asking for an actual text message containing a short, precise >
description of each test,
Immunoassays chemicals are created by injecting animals (rabbits, sheep, donkey, etc) with the drug to be tested for and an albumin which force the animal to produce antibodies. The antibodies are then removed from the animal, purified and bottled. In RIA tests, the antibodies are then added to the fluid sample with a radioactively labeled chemical. Any of the drug (or similar chemicals) found in a sample that is being tested will react with this glop and by measuring the radioactivity, the amount of drugs can be determined [2][10].
> 3] How can such a test be beaten?
While there is some literature on adulterating urine samples to produce false negative results [11], there has been little written that applies specifically to the LSD screening tests.
I would suggest you read the article posted by Paul Hager paying particular attention to the warning about water intoxication [12]: In

The immunsoassay tests vary in their specificity. Some display a relatively low cross-reactivity[13], others a high cross-reactivity[14]. The exact metabolites of LSD in humans have not been fully determined yet, though animal studies have been done. The only verified human metabolite I could find in the literature was N-demethyl-LSD[6] but I did not check all the references.

There were rumors going around that LSD could be detected by drug tests fo thirty days. I think this reference and abstract makes it clear that it is probably 4 days, max. (see the end of the abstract)

ABSTRACT Demethylation of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the human has been demonstrated, both in vitro and in vivo, and aromatic hydroxylation at positions 13 and 14 has been tentatively identified. A gas chromatography/resonance electron capture ionization mass spectrometry (GC/MS) assay for LSD and N-demethyl-LSD in urine has been developed, in which the drug and its metabolite are converted to their N-tri-fluoroacetyl derivatives prior to GC/MS analysis. Linear and reproducible calibration curves have been obtained for LSD concentrations from 0.05 to 5.0 ng/mL, and for N-demethyl-LSD concentrations from 0.03 to 5.0 ng/mL. The assay was used to determine the urinary concentrations of LSD and N-demethyl-LSD following administration of a single oral dose of the drug (1 mu g/kg) to an adult volunteer. The rates of excretion of LSD and N-demethyl-LSD reached maxima in urine collected at time intervals of 4-6 and 8-10 h after administration, respectively. The elimination half-lives for LSD and N-demethyl-LSD were 3.6 and 10.0 h, respectively MISCELLANEOUS Treatment: experimental Anal. Chem. (USA) Abstract number(s): A89037987 ISSN: 0003-2700

******************************
LEGAL SCHEDULING:
Class I, "no medical use" --- mostly for political reasons, as it was and is used in psychotherapy. (Current use is in Switzerland.)
******************************
SET and SETTING:
"SET" is the expectations a person brings with them. "Setting" is the environment that a person is in. Set includes expectations about the drug's actions and how the person will react. Setting includes the social and physical conditions. For LSD and the hallucinogen-type drug more than other psychoactives, set and setting are very important in determining the nature of the experience. These factors make the difference between, e.g., the experiences of someone taking the drug for enhancement at a concert, for psychotherapy in an doctor's office, in a religious context, or in the outdoors for an aesthetic experience. For best results, one should take LSD only with people one trusts in safe, comfortable surroundings, free of everyday intrusions. Tripping alone is a very risky thing to do, that inexperienced people should avoid.
******************************
STORAGE:
First, note that LSD is a fairly stable organic molecule, no more or less fragile than other molecules with comparable structures.
The main factors to be concerned with are moisture (due to leaching and facilitated chemical reactions in the presense of moisture), oxygen, light, and temperature. Reaction rates typically depend upon temperature exponentially. These factors basically apply to all organic compounds.
Sealing in AL foil in a cool dark place is fine. Some recommend refrigeration, but be careful about nosy guests, condensation, and frost. Multiple, redundant seals are suggested, eg., paper in metal foil in plastic in a metal candy tin which has been taped shut. Should last at least a presidential term.
Wallets are contraindicated as storage locations due to sweat.
******************************
SYNERGIES, BAD COMBINATIONS:
Smoking cannabis products considerably increases the effects,
increasing the visuals and also possibly increasing the cognitive and linguistic disorders. As the effects of LSD wear off, marijuana may bring them back, and also ease the jitteriness some dislike. Nitrous oxide goes well with LSD, though one should be extra careful (not to suffocate or fall down) with the nitrous because of the effects of the LSD. MDA & cousins can go well, but people on these drugs should not take LSD unless they are familiar with the latter's effects.
Alcohol's effects are largely overwhelmed by LSD, and they act in opposite ways: alcohol being a depressant and LSD being a (hyper)stimulant. Generally mixing stimulants and sedatives is counterproductive.
MAO inhibitors ??? Amphetamines and cocaine ???
******************************
SYNTHESIS:
Don't try it, too difficult and risky both physically and legally. Precursor medical drugs (ob/gyn and migraine ergot alkaloids) are watched.
