LSD by Otto Snow
At age 15, Otto developed hemi-paraesthesic migraine headaches. The migraines resemble a stroke. He was given narcotics, barbiturates and ergot alkaloids. The drugs are toxic and were making him ill. He learned of a new medication that might help. It is safe in comparison to conventional migraine medications. The drug was LSD-25 and it worked.
His physicians would not prescribe LSD so Otto entered the world of LSD. Several laboratories provided him and other patients with the medication. Included are comments and research from the greatest scientists of the twentieth century. Personal satori experiences. At nineteen, Otto discontinued his exploration of LSD. Today, LSD remains safer and more effective than any migraine medication on the market, development is necessary and is not being done.
LSD is the most comprehensive book ever written on the synthesis of LSD. Otto includes the reactions and the chemistry behind the reactions. Many simplified reactions (e.g. diethylamine from vodka, lysergic acid directly from Claviceps sugar culture, coupling agents from scratch). Extractions translated to English.
LSD is written by someone who has been there and knows the subject/chemistry first hand. LSD is as popular today as it was in the 1970s and 1960s. For many it is a party drug, for others it is a medication. The Decade of the Brain heralded in a new interest in psychedelics and their medical application.
"It is a thing of Beauty!" Dr. Alexander & Ann Shulgin.
