Sorry, urban legend. 'The first acid to hit the streets' came directly from Switzerland, in bottles with the Sandoz label still on them. It wasn't illegal; if you were part of a legitimate Chem lab, even one associated with a university, you could order the stuff directly from Sandoz. When it was finally made illegal, that stopped, of course, but by then the formula had become so widespread that almost anyone with an adequate Chem background could make it. There is no question that the military was involved in testing hallucinogens, with an eye towards both using them as weapons and trying to figure out a defense if they were used as weapons on U.S. troops. But it's not as if they "leaked" the stuff to the street; it had been known about and was freely circulating in the Chem community for years before the military got hip to the stuff's existence. As I heard the story, STP was different in that it was actually developed *by* the military, as a weapon. LSD was just chanced upon by Albert Hofmann back in the 1930s in the course of experiments of an entirely different nature. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Premanand Paul Mason" > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Not just LSD on this one...
