    What? I always ran out of LSD and all you have to do is touch it because it’s skin permeable.

      True, but fentanyl is generally not. They do make fentanyl patches, but casual exposure, like a cop touching a tiny bit of fentanyl, will not result in fentanyl being absorbed.

        I know this, but I was responding to the idea that a drug you could touch and get high from would somehow last forever.

      That’s just because you don’t know how to make it, and they are selling it to you a few drops at a time. I believe the ingredients are actually pretty cheap. Chemistry students make it.

        Sell a man some LSD and he trips for a day. Teach a man to make LSD and he trips for a lifetime!

        Yeah, right. I don’t believe you. HOW would they do that? What steps could they possibly take!? What ingredients would they need and where would they even get them!?

          We need details, dammit.

          More seriously, a friend of mine was a chem student, and he says pretty much every one of his classmates knows how to run off 2 liters of LSD. Which should be enough to send every horse on the planet straight to the moon.

            Maybe LSA, but probably not LSD.

            Synthesizing the drug isn’t the issue, as long as you have the right equipment and knowledge. The difficult part is getting the correct precursor chemicals.

          I mean, step one: acquire the precursors. Step two: take organic chemistry 1; then organic chemistry 2; perhaps something strange like p chem, or environmental chem or chemical instrumentation; ask the professor between classes how to make it; take another class like drug discovery and design, or advanced organic chemistry…

          Step three: make the good stuff.
