Yep. It’s those three short steps (and the specific other ingredients) which make the link unacceptable for this message board. ---

Sorry **Manhattan**! My question was long ago answered. After the third post, I was going to ask someone to close the thread, but then they started talking and I thought it would be rude. Close this if you want! ---

Oops, I didn’t expect that stern a response, manhattan, so let me just clarify what I meant. It is impossible to make Lysergic Acid without an industrial-scale chem lab. And even then it would be very difficult. So don’t even bother reading the recipe. If you read it, it won’t help you one bit. That’s all I meant. ---

Sorry to revive an old dead thread but I just came across it (linked from another) and noticed either some misinformation or my own confusion. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Chas.E \* > **ummm… phorester, Lysergic Acid isn’t LSD. Swallow some Lysergic Acid and it will probably burn your throat, just like drinking Nitric Acid, but it definitely won’t get you high** It is my understanding that LSA (mentioned earlier) _is_ Lysergic acid. LSA is indeed a psychedelic and will get you high. I believe it is the active ingredient in morning glory seeds and Hawaiin (how the heck do you spell that? no matter what I try I can’t make it look right) baby woodrose seeds.
