LSD Production

Good point volt-air, LSD production has decreased, but is this due to regulation?
LSD is a very complicated drug that requires skilled chemists to produce and can take up to 3 days just to create 1-4 ounces. Similarly, LSD's purity lessens when exposed to light, air, and other normal environmental factors, making it considerably unreliable and less popular.
Therefore, the above qualities of LSD could also have contributed to its decrease in popularity and production. The process is simply much more difficult than that of marijuana, cocaine, heroine, etc. Drug trafficking and dealing of these drugs has become a problem ...this is where we need vast change.

I think the reason LSD production has decreased is because it has simply grown less popular, not because its 'purity lessens.' Although it is true that LSD maybe more sensitive than other drugs, it can also remain potent for years if properly stored.

Another reason production has decreased is because of the very nature of the drug; other drugs (marijuana, cocaine, even crystal-meth) are much easier to make or get hold of. Although your hypothesis may be correct, I honestly feel that the decline in the use of LSD is from a change in culture; the 60's, and their free loving spirited mentality, are gone. However, in certain areas, where such a free spirit is still maintained and embraced, LSD use is very common.
