This book covers in great detail virtually all known methods for making LSD. Emphasis is placed on using botanical sources of lysergic acid such as ergot and morning glory seeds, but extraction of ergotamine migraine pills is also covered. Every recipe is presented along with references back to the original works in the scientific liturature. The terminology used in the scientific works has been clarified and simplified, but each procedure is true to the original work. In addition, I also cover the production of the psychedelic TMA-2 from easily available and cheap calamus oil. Now that sassafras oil is difficult to obtain, this subject should be of great interest.

本书非常详细地介绍了几乎所有已知的制造LSD的方法。重点是使用麦角和牵牛花种子等麦角酸的植物来源，但也涉及麦角胺偏头痛药片的提取。每个配方都附有科学文献中原始作品的参考资料。科学著作中使用的术语已经得到澄清和简化，但每个程序都忠实于原作。此外，我还介绍了用容易获得的廉价菖蒲油生产迷幻剂TMA-2的情况。现在，黄樟树油很难获得，这个课题应该很有意义。
