A few years ago I nearly bought the gorgeous Yoda sheet that someone had produced, but realized I just wouldn't be able to hang it anywhere without people thinking it actually had LSD in it.

I haven't had it in years but it was always an eye and mind opener on the few occasions i've done it. Fight on underground chemists, you have my love... even if you are on the other side of the world. Where I live, LSD is almost unheard of nowadays. Itsumishi(#33), it IS all chemically identical but definitely not all the same. The issue is of the other impurities that tag along with the active ingredient. The other ingredients taint your trip and can give you a headache. All acid is the same - and yet not the same ;-) I’m glad to hear real acid is still around.

My point it whether it is liquid/blotter/sugar cube/apricot/microdot will never determine whether it is pure and/or good or not. The batch may cause variants but the container won't make a bit of difference (apart from maybe affecting the 'shelf life'). No doubt at all that it varies from batch to batch.

While distributors and suppliers of varying importance would occasionally get busted, none of the principal chemists ever were, and legend has it that their character was such that one would never roll over on the others, in the event of capture. Around 2000 or so, a Harvard trained chemist by the name of Wm. Pickard was busted producing acid in an abandoned missile silo in Kansas ("the silo bust" that people refer to). He was said to be an acolyte of the principal SF Bay chemists, and was also said to have informed on them and their operations, thereby bringing them to a halt. What is passed of as LSD now is said to be inferior to what was passed off as LSD pre-silo bust. Or so goes the doper lore, take it with many grains of salt.
