There’s an interesting converastion going on in the Stranger Forums about how hard it is to get your hands on LSD in Seattle these days. Some highlights…

So what happened to all the doses in Seattle? Back in the late mid to late 90’s when I was 16-18(wow so long ago) There was dose everywhere. I used to get this white blotter on this really thick rough paper that was just the best. Now I cant get anything. Its not that I fell outta the scene or anything I still have alot of friends that deal different substances. But no one can seem to find any doses. What the hell happened? Did all the old hippie chemists die? You cant just tell me that LSD is dead!!I wont believe it. Where did it go?? Is it that hard to cook??? Is meth such a big thing with teens and 20 somethings that they dont want it??? Someone help me!!!

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I heard of a major acid lab bust occurring a couple of years ago somewhere in the Great Plains, which severely reduced the supply nationwide. Possibly nobody’s picked up the slack. Maybe the demand waned (hard to believe, I know). While it may not give you LSD’s levitation, fungus abounds ‘round here.

Yeah but you have to be careful with the mushrooms…I’ve had more than a few friends tell me they “know what psychedelic mushrooms look like” only to get really sick after gobbling the wrong kind. Luckily none of them have eaten a fatal batch. Unless you really know what you’re doing there I always think it’s better to go with a, ahem, professional who does.

The LSD is gone and the war on psychedelics is winning. It is unbelievably difficult to make and to obtain the right substances to make it with (eating moldy rye won’t do it.) The makers of the LSD that you consumed are in jail - all of them pretty much. If you see acid today at all it is what is known as “analog acid” missing some of the essential components for the real deal high. You get a body high and if you are imaginative you might see things more colorfully than otherwise - not that I know from experience or anything. And it costs about $20. And I thought gas prices had gone up. Someday we will meet again old friend and that day will be glorious. Ahem, until then, fungi do, in fact, abound so dig in while you can.
