Title: What's the story with the LSD shortage?
Post by: SpoonyBard on March 16, 2012, 08:32 pm
Anyone know? Lots of comments about the small number of sellers right now and the price spike, but if there's a thread talking specifically about _why_ things went pear-shaped in the last month or so I've missed it. 

I'm a newbie recreational end user. I'm not pissed off about this economic shift, just curious. Those of us who aren't close to the scene and not on any private channels are probably missing a lot of backstory.  Without exposing sensitive names or details, is there anyone here who can explain in just a few sentences why most of the established sellers seem to be laying low?

Interceptions and arrests on both sides of the pond of some bigger players in the past month or so.  The other team is actually doing an alright job of fucking the supply atm.  Have no fear, the producers will not go without making their cash for festival season.  It won't be long till we are seeing a lot of 'cid around these parts, hopefully at decent prices as well.

Thanks much Toker. I wasn't worrying that it was permanent. Ups and downs are the nature of a free market, and in a "wild west" market they're going to be a bit wilder.

I was just interested in the story. Getting 10 tabs for $80 here at the end of January and then coming back to see everything doubled made me feel sure there had to be one.   ::)

I know of one major vendor, not on SR, that was busted about a month ago from Amsterdam but this guy was recklessly known for being bad at security. I'm sure many SR users know who I'm taking about

Indeed, I think some of the big players in NL get cocky being so far off the grid so to speak.  The get security poor and go down with the rest of em.
