The Acid Market (2017)

Hello, So I've noticed there been several people freaking out about the current raise in cost of acid (Team Trust). Well I do have a theory on why this is going on but I still don't fully understand it.

I don't understand how JoR or TT or GG or anyone else out there is capable of heavily influencing the price of acid. If anyone has seen the documentary Orange Sunshine they will know that a single (yet very organized) group of people, AKA The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, were basically capable of synthesising and distributing the world's supply of acid. A single kilo of LSD crystal is capable of creating a million hits of acid... One kilo.

If several kilos were produced it would be enough acid to fuel the worlds demand for years. So why isn't acid worth $0.25 a hit or even $0.05? I believe the world producers of acid are purposely controlling the amount of acid that hits the market.

So here is my question, how come there isn't a chemist out there that is willing to start an operation and produce enough acid to flood the markets and beat everyone's price (TT, JoR,GG, etc.)?

Because it is a schedule 1 drug and you'll rarely find a chemist willing to produce that amount unless you find Walter White, let alone find some one who can produce the same quality as the current families. Every drug produced in a lab will always have a price inflation. It's actual labor and education mixed together and you need a very well funded op with connections to the precursors..

you need to be grateful. i remember when sheets were 500-600 dollars. two months ago i paid 155 for a sheet. no one is gonna be dropping the price that low. that's retarded. at what point are they gonna make even some money?

Do you have any idea what it takes to make a kilo of lsd crystal?

Let me put it this way - if you're going to make any crystal, you're going to make a lot. that's why one guy/crew ends up creating 90% of the supply at any given time.

but given the circumstances of doing so, it's not an attractive offer to most chemists, who can go off and make tons of money on their own.

Isnt 1KG of LSD 10,000,000 100ug hits?

But yeah the LSD market is a monopoly, just be thankful its not $10 a hit per sheet


[4 Points] MeegoMagi:

So basically you're bitching that a schedule 1 drug costs more money


[5 Points] None:

I would do it if I had access to all the supplies, enough start up cash and the knowledge on how to do it. But I only have one of those

Same thing happened back in 2015

The problem with the Orange Sunshine synths is not the amount they produced. It's almost certainly distribution. IIRC, they were based in California. Imagine how many people would need to be involved to get their product to Bumfuck, Maine, for example. It'd have to change a lot of hands. A long chain of supplier ----> distributor (who supplies smaller distributors and so forth). Each step of the process is assumed risk, so there's markup each time.

With TT, it's basically the chemist ----> darknet distributor -----> end user. The chain is a lot shorter, so there's less markup since overall risk is drastically reduced. Hell, you can stealth a few sheets of acid cross-country for fucking $7, and never even know the name or likeness of the next person down the line.

It's worth noting that asymmetric cryptography was not even a THING until like 1980. Widespread, efficient implementation was not possible until the 90's. This makes a big difference.

you don't like capitalism, do you?


[1 Points] lequicheman:

The price lies in the production requiring a good source of ergotamine, rather complex chemistry, and expensive equipment to get a decent yield. The economy of scale required for cheap cost per dose and small quantity at the end of the supply chain also contribute to this. This said, I feel like prices can and will get lower as time goes by, with people developing alternative syntheses and more balls. I once had a hookup for sheets at 100gbp per sheet, long before the darkweb.

Jor controls the DNM. Period. He does not control the world market in my opinion.

So, what is the best country to produce LSD in, from a legal standpoint? (also mescaline)

Pls don't say Belize.

A gram makes 10000 hits at 100 mics so A kilo would actually make ten million


[1 Points] Imgodnigga:

what market is TT on anyway?


[1 Points] startanew87:

How much are tt tabs going for? I was about to start using the darknet for the sole purpose of getting tt tabs - how much are 100 running? 50 tabs? Help a new guy out...


[1 Points] morejoi20:

Because the risk would outweigh the reward and synthesizing LSD is not very easy


[-1 Points] Xanaxandsuicide:

also you really think ethical, moral people want to produce lsd? if you do you have lost all grasp of reality. anyone with actual business sense or anyone who is actually gifted in the sciences isnot fucking manufacturing and selling lsd. lthese people are the scum of the earth
