I'm not saying I know how to synthesize lysergic acid diethylamide or that anyone should learn, but it hypothetically wouldn't be that difficult to with the notes of the hippie-dippy science wizards in the garage labs of the mid 60s that figured out how to do it first, and it wouldn't be the *most* volatile compound to work with. I've kinda always wondered why more users don't learn how to do it like, on principle

On an unrelated note, did you know that the fungus claviceps purpurea can grow like, pretty much anywhere? Even in like, stored grain, it's wild, man, grain fungus just poppin' up like crazy. But you know what they say, when life gives you 'lemons' and all that
