I have a solution for you: grow a culture of Claviceps Paspali (not standard ergot), extract the brew and you have around 1.5g of mixed lysergic acid amides PER LITER OF BREW. A 5 gallon plastic water container with 4 gallons of brew is pretty standard, this is around 15 liters, which will net you around 22 grams of LSA's every 2 weeks. Perform a simple hydrolysis procedure with water and potassium hydroxide to cleave the amide group, giving you a small amount of ammonia gas and pure lysergic acid. This is then very easy to precipitate from the solution and store for later use. For most methods of making LSD you need anhydrous lysergic acid, lysergic acid which has the water stripped from it, which is very rough on the molecule. You do this by heating it, but not too much to destroy the molecule, and pulling a vacuum on it for a certain amount of time. Best thing is to preweight the flask and finish the process once the weight stops lowering. This procedure is very safe and will not give you gangrene. No dangerous chemicals are involved and my special technique does not need a large amount of organic solvents like most ergot culture extraction protocols. Claviceps paspali is a much safer version then claviceps purpurea but also works much better for fermenting. This is because very small differences in the species, claviceps paspali will let the water soluble ergot alkaloids through the cell into the brew very easily, effecting the equilibrium and allowing more ergot alkaloids to be formed in the cell. PM me if you are interested in this type of thing, I joined SR and was upset there was not a lot of chemistry going on here...
