I don't know...even if it was one milligram of powder (a high but not unheard of dose), that wouldn't come close to filling even a tiny capsule! The only way to get a capsule full with 1mg of L that could be split into even doses is if someone who had access to the raw powder managed to mix it relatively evenly with something inert at a ratio of like 100-500:1. If that sounds challenging, it's because it is, and it's the exact reason why LSD is typically dissolved into liquid.

I'm not saying the "one milligram" number is to be believed. I'm saying they had a large pill, packed with a curious amount of powder, which a handful of people shared. Sugar cubes are a commonly used substrate. I could readily imagine someone in the 1960's, somewhere along the supply chain having a quantity of prepared sugar cubes looking dubious after changing hands too many times, and repackaging them one-by-one into capsules (maybe packing more than one cube into a single large capsule), with a pestle and mortar, and topping them off with regular powdered sugar. I think you're expecting other people to operate with a degree of precision and mistrust, neither of which stacks up against the way people really operate on the ground.

  You may explain it this way quite easily. But frankly, there’s a standard, which is a tab. It’s small, dry so can be stored for extended periods of time, and the chance it contains anything but acid is incredibly small, as anything comparable would require vastly larger volumes. Point being: if you made a decision to take a dodgy-looking pill in the middle of nowhere, don’t go on talking about the fact that you’ve exprienced something worthy. You’ve got a bad taste and noone wants to listen about that.
