What is the easiest way to make LSD?

Answer 1

There is no easy way to make LSD. LSD is made semi-synthetically (full synthesis is not practical) from ergot-derived compounds which are generally closely monitored. Thus, in order to make LSD, one would need a source of one these compounds, a great deal of laboratory equipment/reagents, and chemistry skills. Of course, manufacture of LSD is also a felony in most of the world. Thus, making LSD is not easy. As an example, once some of the biggest manufacturers of LSD (Pickard and Apperson) were arrested in 2000, the supply of LSD plummeted and has not since recovered.
