Is there strychnine (rat poison) in LSD?
No, there is no strychnine in LSD. EVER. It is physically impossible to fit enough strychnine on a blotter tab to cause an effect; besides, since strychnine is expensive and the manufacturing process never uses it, there’s absolutely no point in putting it there. (No, it does not bind the LSD to the paper or carry it across the blood-brain barrier or…) Large-scale lab analyses of street samples have never found ANY strychnine in LSD. The ‘speedy’ effects of acid, often attributed to the mythical strychnine, are in fact caused by a bad set and setting, not impurities in the drug. See the LSD FAQ and /drugs/psychedelics/lsd/strychnine.
