For those unable or unwilling to wade through thedifficulties that attend cultivating ergot, or growing crops ofmorning glories, digging up the roots of this common plantoffers a most convenient and low-profile route to an awe-inspiring substance. The processes required to isolate this raw materialand move it on in pure form to LSD shall be expounded upon.Common threads shall be drawn between the variousprocedures to show what variations in technique are acceptable,and which produce the disappointing commercial product weare all too often cursed with.Ī special added feature of this book will be the result of myown investigations into the production of the most wonderfulpsychedelic: TMA-2, derived form the roots of the calamusplant.

Rather thanpresenting this field as a magic act, the sources of lysergic acidraw materials in nature shall be detailed, and their mysteryremoved.

It is here that this book shall break new ground. They have merelyregurgitated the original unintelligible works until they havebecome like mantras, repeatedly chanted and not understood. The 'underground publications' covering this topic havedone little to clean up this situation. They assume a level of understanding of the arcaneįield of lysergic chemistry not generally possessed by eventhose skilled in the 'cooking arts.' The scientific articles dealing with this topic are barelyreadable by the typical person with an undergraduate degree inchemistry. I can think of no other area of organic chemistry which, towe common working pot-boilers, is shrouded in as muchmystery, or is as thoroughly obfuscated as the production ofLSD. These roadblocks, however, pale in comparison tothe most important factor - the inaccessibility of goodinformation to those motivated to put it into action. The actual production ofLSD from these botanical sources is a touchy and involvedoperation. The botanical sources of lysergic acid are noteasily available in large quantities. This distressing situation results from the convergence of aseries of factors. Further, the concentration ofproduction in so few hands has left us awash in a mediocreswill comparable to the beer spewed out by the major brewers. Thisalarmingly low number of labs leaves the supply of LSD in thiscountry at constant peril. The DBA has recently estimated the total number ofclandestine LSD labs operating in the United States at only 100,with most of them located in northern California. 107A Few Words Concerning Calamus by Cousin 97Precursor And Essential Chemicals.99Waste Exchanges.
