That's the premise of Breaking Bad, but with a twist.

  Because it's often true, and was universally true for late-Xers, early-Millennials? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Leonard_Pickard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Leonard_Pickard Back then (the 90s), LSD was $2/hit.

    The wholesale price of LSD is currently under $2/hit.
    - pessimizer 4y ago
      That was retail in the 90s, but considering inflation that sounds like we're finally getting back to Pickard pricing. My local sources run an order of magnitude higher. edit, for anyone curious about 90s wholesale: "Government informant Skinner testified that Petaluma Al and the largest wholesale customers of Pickard paid 29 cents per 100 µg dose, which would put the cost at around $2.97 million for a kilogram of LSD." edit: I'm annoyed by the math used in this quote. They couldn't say $2.9 million or "around" $3 million?

        A kg of pure lsd would be a site to behold. I don’t know how you could even handle it in any semi-safe way.

        Chemistry and LSD newbie question: what would make it unsafe?

        LSD is extremely potent at small quantities (dozens of micrograms); exposure to even a small fraction of this (a few grams, say) could be enough to put someone into a non-responsive state for a few days. I don't think it'd cause permanent damage, but still not something to underestimate.

        There are reports in medical journals of people accidentally taking hundreds of doses of LSD, and they all were sober within 24 hours.

        Nobody in this world, is taking "hundreds of doses" of LSD and sober within 24 hours.
        BTCOG 4y ago
        That case report notes a 10x dose, a 5x dose (these are pretty standard), and a very loose description of snorting 55mg of powdered LSD, which I don't buy. I've seen enough folks eat a sheet or down a 10k mic vial and trip for a week+ to know better. Possibly the dose report was well off, or snorting it and fortunately they didn't get much of it or it wasn't pure LSD-25.
