So Ive heard from various people that acid is made with arsenic. to my knowledge legitimate properly manufactured acid doesn't contain arsenic. So is there any knowledgeable people in here that can provide some info on it. possibly some people who've been around consuming acid from the time it came about, and are familiar with the history

Wow that's a new one on me and no, arsenic is not used in any synthesis of LSD that I'm familiar with. I've never heard of it being used as a catalyst for peptide coupling either. I would wager that most LSD is made with the use of peptide coupling reagents these days because you need milder reaction conditions, they're far safer than older methods, and offer better yields. Not to mention they're very commonly used chemicals so they're not hard to get.

I have heard that it has arsenic in it. Heard that back in th 80's. I don't know how true it is. I always thought that was a scare tactic.

yeah, back in the 90's a bunch of people were running around and saying it had arsenic.. the arsenic, according to this rumor, is what you'd feel in your bones when you'd be on a pretty heavy trip..
this rumor holds about as much truth to it as their being heroin in ecstasy pills, ie, not a lick of it..

less than 1mg of arsenic most likely wouldnt have an effect on one other than psychologically..if arsenic was in lsd..look guys,you put a powerful psychedelic in your body,usualy at 70 percent purity...imputities might be the cause,but really,you ate fuckng lsd and your body will feel different..if you had pain before,it may be more pronounced on lsd..i thought i had bit my tounge off once because i couldnt feel its presence..
just like cavemen used god to explain the sun and moon,uneducated trippers use aresenic as an explanation(pacification?) of why their body feels weird/is alarmed..please stop perpetuating this myth..its turning people OFF
and Mr.Leary would be upset

I heard that there were bad people out there that give acid with blue stars on them to kids and tell them that they are tattoos and the kids put the acid on their skin and get all messed up and have to be carnies for the rest of their lives...

Well since arsenic bioaccumulates if it was present there would've been deadheads dropping like flies from arsenic poisoning...
There's also no strychnine in LSD. The impurities are usually unreacted LSA and some traces of other ergoloids.

how hard is lsd to synth mreduck? as opposed to say mdma? obviously i'm not asking for a step by step, was just curious as to how hard it is to actually make pretty much.. not counting the fact that i'm sure more than one chem is on some sort of watch list, just the chemistry part of it?

It's one of the trickier synths because it is sensitive to air, moisture and light so you have to work in near darkroom conditions which ramps up the difficulty. Then you add in the difficulty of working in a glove box or other sealed environment to exclude O2 and H2O. The older synths before the use of peptide coupling reagents was discovered involved some nasty chemicals to turn the LSA into something that would react with the diethylamine such as the acid chloride. It's fairly straightforward chemistry but it requires experience in knowing how to handle stuff.

you need a biochem degree of 2 years and about 30k in glassware...not to mention ergot derivitives wich ars held onto like virgin pussy..
its easy to make,if youre a chemist!you stay awake in shifts for 3 days..its not easy to aquire the knowledge and articles though..

It's the glassware and the ergot derivatives that are hardest to get. While 2 years of school gives you the theoretical knowledge I would say that more hands on lab experience would be extremely useful. The journal articles aren't really hard to get provided you know how to look for them and have scholarly journal access...

so just a scare rumor, I had always wondered. must just be bullshit passed down generation to generation, cool. figures, I remember when I was young being told mushrooms ONLY grow from cow shit.

that's funny, everyone knowsthat the the very best mushrooms grow from Waygu cows and their color really makes no difference.
