No, it is most definitely not. It's flooded with gel tabs of cheap synthetics.

There is a laundry list of odorless tasteless microgram dose psychedelics that are extremely comparable to LSD and indistinguishable except to an extremely advanced psychonaut.

If you go to a festival and take drugs and think that it's real LSD, that's laughable ignorance. Statistically, it's almost impossible to find LSD.

    I go to Shambhala and they do free drug testing. Every LSD I get, I get it tested. The Ehrlich reagent test turns purple for indoline structures and it’s so much easier to get LSD than the other LSD prodrugs that would cause this to be purple, like 1P-LSD, 1V-LSD, or 1B-LSD. Research from both DanceSafe and The Loop show that actual and pure LSD dominates over synthetics at music fests. I’d love to see your sources because I’m intrigued.

    Its real. This isn't 2009-2014 anymore. People have test kits at festivals too that will test what you've acquired for free.

    I've been taking psychedelics for almost 20 years now.

    I'm unsure where your statistics is coming from.

    The niche bass music scene is flooded with real dose.

    A friend of mine kept telling me you couldn't find lsd anymore so I looked it up. There was a mass testing done a few years back that wanted to see what people were really buying when they bought lsd and it turned out it was almost all pure lsd and within expected dose.

    Is LSD not considered a synthetic?

    By that standard pretty much everything is "partially" natural. You're almost always going to have at least one starting material that was derived from a plant or other natural product.

    Bring that up with chemistry, it's their term.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisynthesis

    Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD (from German Lysergsäurediethylamid) and by the nicknames acid and Lucy, is a semisynthetic psychedelic drug derived from ergot, known for its potent psychological effects.

    I am an organic chemist working with the synthesis of natural products. I don't think it's common for chemists within this field to refer to chemicals that have undergone several addition steps as "natural", and certainly not when communicating with non-chemists.

    Note that the term "natural product" has very precise meaning in chemistry, which is different from what non-chemists would intuit. I would normally not use that term when talking to non-chemists.
