What type of substance is LSD?
lsd is a chemical derived from alkaloids which is from a fungus and that grows on rye It was discovered and used in the sixties after being taking from a lab.
What is the drug LSD derived from?
LSD is synthesized from ergotamine which is found in ergot. That being said ergotamine is not psychoactive. LSD does have naturally occurring analogues such as LSA (d-lysergic acid amide) which is found in morning glory seeds as well as others.
What are the the letters of LSD and PCP stand for?
LSD is derived from the German name for the substance, Lysergsäure-diethylamid. PCP is derived from the chemical name phenylcyclohexylpiperidine.
Can you LSD out of Orange pills?
No, LSD is derived from the ergot that grows on the mold of the rhy plant.
This drug was synthesized from chemicals found in a fungus that grows on rye?
LSD
An important antibiotic derived from fungus?

What is the word root for fungus?
The word root for fungus is "fung-", derived from the Latin word "fungus" meaning mushroom.
Where do you get LSD from?
If you are applying on where you can get it, the same place you get any other illicit substance. Now where LSD comes from is from the fungus that grows on rye stalks called Ergot. You take the lysergic amides from ergot and do chemical reactions on them until they are produced into LSD 25
What is micro protein?
I don't know, but MYCO Protein is derived from fungus (mushrooms).
How is the drug LSD made?
LSD is made semi-synthetically from compounds produced by ergot, a grain fungus. Ergotamine is one such precursor, although this and others are restricted because of their ability to be used in the illegal synthesis of LSD.
Is LSD natural?
Not completely. But it is synthesized from a natural source such as the ergot fungus or morning glory seeds.
How is LSD made and any dangers in the process?
LSD commonly is produced from lysergic acid, which is made from ergotamine tartrate, a substance derived from an ergot fungus on rye, or from lysergic acid amide, a chemical found in morning glory seeds. Although theoretically possible, manufacture of LSD from morning glory seeds is not economically feasible and these seeds never have been found to be a successful starting material for LSD production. Lysergic acid and lysergic acid amide are both classified in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. Ergotamine tartrate is regulated under the Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act. Cooking LSD is time consuming; it takes from 2 to 3 days to produce 1 to 4 ounces of crystal and is very difficult. A limited number of chemists, probably less than a dozen, are believed to be manufacturing nearly all of the LSD available in the United States. Some of these manufacturers probably have been operating since the 1960's.
