Will take you at your word - I tried it 3 times when I was much younger in the ‘70s and while the experience was different than anything else, it wasn’t the type thing that I found compelling.

I tried it a half dozen or so times during my youth in the late 80s, early 90s. The old Deadheads from the 60s were still cooking it up. After 20+ years, they'd perfected their craft.

Absolutely some of the most mind-blowing, emotional, bonding, exhilarating experiences that I could never begin to describe. Never regretted it but I'd never touch the stuff again.

LSD culture died with Jerry Garcia. Grateful Dead shows were the primary network of pipelines for which LSD was distributed throughout the country. When the Dead came to town, so did the good acid and since they toured endlessly, distributers would get enough to last throughout the year, until the next tour.

When the Dead stopped touring in '95, the pipeline dried up and the Pickard/Apperson Bust of 2000 took the last of the old "real" LSD off the streets. By then, American kids had switched over to MDMA (ecstasy) as their psychedelic drug of choice.

Recent federal crackdowns on ergot alkaloids, an essential ingredient to produce real LSD, has stymied modern production efforts and that's the difference between the crap on the streets today that calls itself LSD and the real deal.
