[Idea] Gwern/someone trusted in charge of a new LSD avengers, crowd funded.

LSD is one of the top drugs that should be tested regularly for several reasons. Its not too expensive if a small number of tabs are purchased for this reason, though the actual lab testing costs a fair bit.

But if 20 acidheads/dealers donated the cost of ~3 tabs (20 USD) that would lead to 400 USD, and I believe testing costs 50USD (?) so testing about 8 different products.

Throw in the price of 1-2 tabs, and its not unreasonable..

Two issues:

  1. Trust: Who should do this? I am fairly new here but I know that Gwern (peace be upon him) is a living legend.

  2. Security. Making it known that we are all sending gwern or anyone money to buy drugs to send off to testing is a TINY BIT of a security risk, I assume.

  3. Just with Gwern in mind, can/should we use peer pressure to put him in this position. He has already done so much for the community, and if this idea is too much risk/reward for him, then someone else trustworthy should be selected.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy?

We shouldn't pressure Gwern to do anything, he's already done so much for us not to mention I'm sure he has like, a life outside of the dnms. If someone were to do it I'd say maybe an active user of the sub working closely with the mods because I'm sure the other mods have more things to worry about as well. But dnmavengers is getting started anyways, it's young but we've existed for so long without truly knowing the dose of our LSD that I think a little longer isn't really going to make a difference, we'll get there eventually, the dnms have already come a long way and they generally just keep improving.
If you were to do it, I'd say get a group together, make the money only accessible with something like a multi-sig so multiple people sign off, another person actually receives the cash in small amounts and is given a specific vendor to test each time. It'd be slow, but having that many people accountable would help with security.

But yeah for real just wait for dnmavengers unless you want to fund yourself

You are crazy. Gwern's identity is known to people. Why on earth would he agree on a public forum to buy LSD online for purposes of testing? It would have to be someone more anon.
