PRACTICAL LSD
MANUFACTURE
Expanded and Revised, Second Edition
by Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester has done it again! The underground mastermind of outlaw
chemistry and psychedelic cookery has come up with even more ground-breaking
techniques for those who study the craft. Practical LSD Manufacture,
Revised and Expanded Second Edition provides the most detailed, comprehensive
and concise description ever of several of the methods employed in the
preparation of lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, from natural
sources! Uncle Fester also offers a breakthrough in psychedelic literature:
a simple process for extracting the hallucinogenic drug TMA-2 from
the commonly-grown calamus plant.
Practical LSD Manufacture, Revised and Expanded Second Edition
contains:
-
An overview of LSD Manufacture
-
Natural sources of the lysergic amides, including harvesting procedures
for ergot-infested rye and Spartina marsh-grass
-
Methods of extraction and isolation of the lysergic acid amides
-
An interpretation of LSD-progenitor Albert Hofmann's patented “one-pot
shot” method of LSD synthesis, plus purification and storage techniques
-
A never-before-published presentation of “Method X,” wherein a propionic
anhydride mixes with lysergic acid, allowing for a much-improved synthesis
-
A section on solvent management, a crucial but often overlooked detail
all chemists should be aware of
-
How to manufacture the hallucinogen 2,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine (TMA-2)
from the calamus root
-
Detailed growing, harvesting and availability information on the calamus
plant
-
Cautionary notes on keeping out of trouble
-
And much, much more!
Uncle Fester says: “I can think of no other area of organic chemistry which,
to we common working pot-boilers, is shrouded in as much mystery, or is
as thoroughly obfuscated as the production of LSD. The scientific articles
dealing with this topic are barely readable by the typical person with
an undergraduate degree in chemistry. They assume a level of understanding
of the arcane field of lysergic chemistry not generally possessed by even
those skilled in the 'cooking arts.'
“The 'underground publications' covering this topic have done little
to clean up this situation. They have merely regurgitated the original
unintelligible works until they have become like mantras, repeatedly chanted
and not understood.
“It is here that this book shall break new ground. Rather than presenting
this field as a magic act, the sources of lysergic acid raw materials in
nature shall be detailed, and their mystery removed. The processes required
to isolate this raw material and move it on in pure form to LSD shall be
expounded upon. Common threads shall be drawn between the various procedures
to show what variations in technique are acceptable, and which produce
the disappointing commercial product we are all too often cursed with.”
