Like amphetamine, LSD is made in a laboratory enviroment. Current intelligence suggests that the worlds supply of LSD is manufactured by as few as ten to twelve individuals in the San Francisco Bay area of the United States. In the initial stage of production, LSD takes on the form of a crystalline substance. LSD crystal is then diluted and generally impregnated into perforated blotting paper at the
'conversion sites' across the US, UK and the Netherlands. As little as 10kgs of this crystal is enough to satify world LSD demand for one year. Because of the high potency of LSD, its strength or dosage is measured in micrograms.
