i could watch this all day

Would you shoot an enemy soldier if he was high on LSD? I know I couldn't do it.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

just what the world needs, a baked out militia!

[Keeping It Simple]

Can you imagine how many people would join the army if they were promised LSD?

[sonicpixie]

hehe yes, i just love the serious commentary to it,
'ten minutes later, the attacking section had lost all sense of urgency'
brilliant!

its a bit off from this topic...but still sorta the same concept.

yeah, i love that movie. if ya havent seen it you should consider watching it.


fucked up, really.

yeh seen that, great movie. have u seen the movie pi?

and has anyone read 'the road of excess' by brian barritt?

probably not that many, this is not the 60s, you know how hard it is to actually get people to drop with you these days? everybody is scurred..

[Keeping It Simple]

Is it true the US soldiers fighting in Vietnam were all on drugs?

yeah but that is called heroin. also the govt used to conduct experiments with PCP and it was standard routine to give out speed pills with rations.

so true! all my friends are useless and afraid, i must find some new ones

I wish I had access to LSD. I've love to try it.

All you need is:

A solution of 6.7 g KOH in 100 mL H2O, under an inert atmosphere and magnetically stirred, was brought to 75 °C, and 10 g ergotamine tartrate (ET) added. The reaction mixture turned yellow as the ergotamine went into solution over the course of 1 h. The stirring was continued for an additional 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to about 10 °C with an external ice bath, and acidified to a pH of about 3.0 by the dropwise addition of 2.5 N H2SO4. White solids started to appear early in the neutralization; approximately 60 mL of sulfuric acid was required. The reaction mixture was cooled overnight, the solids removed by filtration, and the filter cake washed with 10 mL Et2O. The dry solids were transferred to a beaker, suspended in 50 mL 15 % ammonia in anhydrous ethanol, stirred for 1 h, and separated by decantation. This extraction was repeated, and the original decantation and the second extract combined and filtered to remove a few hundred milligrams of unwanted solids. The clear filtrate was stripped of solvent under vacuum, the residual solids dissolved in 50 mL of 1% aqueous ammonia, and this solution was acidified as before with 2.5 N H2SO4. The precipitated solids were removed by filtration and washed with Et2O until free of color. After drying under vacuum to a constant weight, there was obtained 3.5 g of d-lysergic acid hydrate, which should be stored in a dark, sealed container. A suspension of 3.15 g d-lysergic acid hydrate and 7.1 g of diethylamine in 150 mL CHCl3 was brought to reflux with stirring. With the external heating removed, there was added 3.4 g POCl3 over the course of 2 min, at a rate sufficient to maintain refluxing conditions. The mixture was held at reflux for an additional 5 min, at which point everything had gone into solution. After returning to room temperature, the solution was added to 200 mL of 1 N NH4OH. The phases were separated, the organic phase dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and the solvent removed under vacuum. The residue was chromatographed over alumina with elution employing a 3:1 C6H6/CHCl3 mixture, and the collected fraction stripped of solvent under hard vacuum to a constant weight. This free-base solid can be recrystallized from benzene to give white crystals with a melting point of 87-92 °C. IR (in cm-1): 750, 776, 850, 937 and 996, with the carbonyl at 1631. The mass spectrum of the free base has a strong parent peak at mass 323, with sizable fragments at masses of 181, 196, 207 and 221.
This base was dissolved in warm, dry MeOH, using 4 mL per g of product. There was then added dry d-tartaric acid (0.232 g per g of LSD base), and the clear warm solution treated with Et2O dropwise until the cloudiness did not dispel on continued stirring. This opaqueness set to a fine crystalline suspension (this is achieved more quickly with seeding) and the solution allowed to crystallize overnight in the refrigerator. Ambient light should be severely restricted during these procedures. The product was removed by filtration, washed sparingly with cold methanol, with a cold 1:1 MeOH/Et2O mixture, and then dried to constant weight. The white crystalline product was lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate with two molecules of methanol of crystallization, with a mp of about 200 °C with decomposition, and weighed 3.11 g (66%). Repeated recrystallizations from methanol produced a product that became progressively less soluble, and eventually virtually insoluble, as the purity increased. A totally pure salt, when dry and when shaken in the dark, will emit small flashes of white light.

All the stupid ones? who for some reason don't realise you can NOT join the army and STILL get LSD?

it is estimated by the CIA that there are only 25 laboratories in the world that can produce large quanities of pure, Lysergic Acid base used in the process. One source said the FBI claims that most of the LSD-25 comes from one northern cali source.. every harvest season the deadheads pop out and trade liquid and doses for fresh herbs and then there are acid waves in Cali..

[sonicpixie]

only 25? and i dont suppose any of them are in the uk

[phoenix]

*large quantities* ... ?

well, relatively. It only takes a few pounds of crystalline LSD-25 to dose the entire planet , and it only takes a few more pounds of pure Lysergic Acid base (the Bear used only 2 pounds of pure Lysergic acid to make the wave that hit the westcoast in 1968) to make some LSD-25 however it is extremely tedious, complicated and expensive to produce proper Lysergic Acid. Street producers of acid BUY Lysergic Acid, they do not have the capabilities to produce it themselves..

this is how you can be sure that the govt is involved in the acid trade in the first place, aside from the weird reality that millions of pounds of cocaine and heroin some how sneak into america every year..

[sonicpixie]

damn that sneaky heroin *tut*
