ALD-52:  N-Acetyl-LSD.

According to the _Psychedelics Encyclopedia_, ALD-52 is rather commonly
found on the street sold as LSD-25.  However, it also claims that ALD-52
is actually a smoother trip than LSD.  Either way, ALD-52 tends to
decompose into LSD-25 rather quickly, so I really doubt the quality is
changed that much.

And medium level dealers get whatever the hell the chemist makes.  They're
just as confused as you are as to the content.  And your prices are off
(unless its more expensive in Berkeley than in Seattle).

Hear, hear!  Actually, being a nonviolent sort, if someone dosed me
without my consent I would probably try to have good time and then simply avoid
them like the plague henceforth.  Even if there was a drug that simply

Summary: Plants wilting, emergancy measures not working

I need help fast...

My friend is growing tomatoes indoors under lights (lots of predators
in his neighborhood).

A plant that had been growing at least 1/4" a day has suddenly started wilting.
The plant is about three months old.
Research has led to two possible answers:
1) Nitrogen overdose
     Remedy was to remove top inch of soil, rinse remaining soil through with
warm water, replace removed soil and wait two days.
2) Overwatered
	 Remedy was to transplant to a larger pot, watching for root rot.

Both of these remedies were applied.  Root rot was not apparent, but soil
was saturated from remedy to #1.  The plant is still wilting 48 hours after
remedies were applied.  It still looks healthy and green, but is drying out
quickly and shoots are bending over.

Another plant is starting to show first symptoms (e.g. lower branches
drooping, tops of plant showing obvious growth-slowing).
Both of the afflicted plants were growing very fast, and literally pushing
up towards the lights.  No change has been made in the lighting type or
schedule.  They seem much to young to 'need' light cycle changes.

The rest look fine (so far!)

Can somebody offer other solutions, or other symptoms to watch for to identify
the problem?  There appear to be no pests present, and the leaves look healthy,
but void of water to support them.

Please respond soon here by posting or to my email address...this is
very sad to watch.

The best method of storage I know of for LSD is to:

 1) Use a 'safelight' a.k.a. darkroom bulb.  I understand that a 'fireball'
is the best for use with LSD since that wavelength of red decomposes the
chemicals more slowly that other more orange shades.

 2) Form the tartrate of the crystal in acetonitrille since the tartrate is
more stable than other salts available, and to the best of my knowledge, the
tartrate is also active. Leave in suspension/solution in a darkened glass
vessel.

 2) Bubble Nitrogen gas (N2) through the solution, and quickly seal after
nearly all air has been evacuated.

 3) Store the vessel in an opaque container and then store this in a freezer.

You should find that proper storage will allow it to last almost indefinitely.
As an example, Owsley, who manufactured LSD in the sixties, stored much of
the product, and gave it to 'the family.'  This acid is still available today
if you know the right people, and the supply is expected to last at least a
few more years (unless they've been busted...)

If you want to store your stash and do not want a big hassle:

 1) If possible, work in a vacumn or under N2.

 2) Store in a plastic bag, and seal in an airtight container.  Most film
cannisters and many ziploc type freezer bags are airtight.  The film canister
has the obvious advantage of also being lighttight.

 3) Store in an opaque container, and then store this in a freezer.

You should find that your stash will still be at effective dosage levels
years into the future, but is best if used within a year.

 Oh boy, I see a lot of bumbling banter (perfect oppurtunity to practice
my aliteration!). I recommend that anyone intertested in the difference
between Ketamine and PCP read up on the psychopharmacology of each. PCP is
so unpredictable because it has has a broad and complex pharmacology,
unlike ketamine which is relatively more specific in its action. PCP has a
nasty habit of inhibiting dopamine reuptake much like cocaine does. This
on top of its binding to its own type of receptor can make for a very
nasty experience if one has had a bit too much or is sensitive. Other PCP
analogues are more specific as well. TCP has a greater affinity for the
PCP receptor than does PCP itself, but does not inhibit DA uptake. So just
because two compounds are chemically and pharmacoilogically similar, it is
folly to ever treat them as equals.
 What I have read on ketamine has said that ketamine is unpredictable as
far as unpleasant experiences go unless it is administered
intramuscularly. I'm sure this has a lot to do with the way it disperses
upon the different routes of administration. I am interested in reading on
closely related analogues of ketamine. Thio and bromo analogues would be a
good starting place if any pharamcologists are ou there reading this. :-)

*hyperthermia*.

I believe this was written up in Lancet.  And I believe that it probably had
a lot to do with dancing at a rave for hours on end with no water, no rest
and an elevated bp, etc from the stimulant.

In Washington for this year there have been two cases of deaths from actual
MDMA.  I got this from what I consider a reliable source who got it from
the head toxicologist for the court system here.  Based on how much bad X
I've seen lately, I'm sure that the illegality of the drug is killing more
people than the drug itself.

There is some quasilegal method of obtaining the stuff.  Doctors & Vets have
legal access to it.  Most ketamine on the street really is ketamine.  It
comes in a little vial that says "ketamine".  It's much, much easier to get
it this way than to make it, I would imagine.

Everyone I've ever met who has taken both ketamine and PCP reports that there
is little or no similarity between the two, other than chemical structure.

Yeah, well, maybe.  Empirical evidence would suggest to me that PCP is *much
more unpredictable* than ketamine.

I met some people who were experimenting with massive, extended doses of 
ketamine.  They, like Lilly, ascribe a nearly mystical quality to the exp-
erience, similar to that held by the early proponents of LSD.

And just what drug *should* people take at a rave?

Well, if you do not dose, then how about putting vinegar in someone's food? 
Where would you draw the line? Of course dosing someone with whatever substance
is not a nice thing to do and I wouldn't do or even recommend it. But ignorance
is hard to overcome, at least for me, and I think some others on the net have
this problem without knowing it. Double ignorance. Anyways, I think differing

  Chlorpramazine is another one of those wonderful phenothiazine
derivatives. More commonly known as thorazine. This is the first
synthetic phenothiazine put into common use (the precursor of a
way of treatment that would revolutionize psychiatry, and a liv-
ing hell for the patients). It is only available via prescription,
and if you go tell your doctor you think you need some of this,
the reaction you get may surprise you. In conjunction with LSD,
it would shorten the trip as well as lesten the intensity. It will
also make you feel like S__T! It is typically used to lessen the
symptoms of psychosis. If you want a drug to help you come down from 
a trip, I'd recommend a minor tranquilizer like valium over this
drug.

Absolutely. My FOAF's learn quite alot about themselves when tripping.
Although sometimes (and this is a recommendation), they enjoy running
through the local streets and running into huge hedges (try it...).
Other times, they discuss genetics, life, the universe, notice weather
on a planetary scale, and use fountains in parks for interstellar flight.
