Non-LSD Ergoloids
The research chemical market is based on the philosophy of tweaking existing recreational molecular backbones, yet compounds based on LSD appear to be few and far between. There is nothing at all preventing the existence of exotic research chemicals based on the ergoloid backbone, and in fact several are known that have significant recreational potential based on academic studies. The interesting fact is that none of them appear to have hit the market in significant volume. Perhaps this is simply the result of watched precursors and more elaborate synthesis routes than established products, but experimentation by the research chemical market seems rather lackluster based on the reputation of the parent drug and possible potential.
There are some who argue that experimentation of this nature has been ongoing, but has been executed through entirely different distribution channels - namely the LSD black market. Certain blotter prints have been distributed with something that could pass for LSD but seems different to experienced tastes. This particular variant has been described as a sort of neo-LSD that appears more euphoric, more visual, shorter acting, and less “spiritual” with the accompanying decrease in potential for anxiety.
One suspected blotter print is the 1906-2008 Hoffman Oms. This is not a esoteric print with limited circulation. It celebrates the life of Albert Hofmann, who lived from 1906 to 2008 and was the first to synthesize and consume LSD. It is part of a larger recurring blotter art series that is consistently widely distributed and well received, and as such appears to originate from the depths of the notoriously secretive LSD black market.
Sufficient suspicions were raised about the contents of this blotter to instigate a GC/MS test.
Initial evaluation seemed to bear out the hypothesis that these results reflected a novel and interesting compound closely related to LSD, perhaps lysergic acid 2-butyl amide (LSB) or lysergic acid 3-pentyl amide (LSP). These early interpretations of the GC/MS results were challenged however.
sec-LSB gives an almost indistinguishable MS to actual LSD, so I doubt it’s that. It’s not the N-(3-Pentyl) derivative [..] as well[.]
I personally have not a clue what this is — the fragment for d-Lysergic acid diethylamide, LAMPA or sec-LSB is always at 324, yet here we have 326 (the only one that comes to mind is deuterated-LSD which is usually 327). The huge peak at 72 is suspicious and the initial peaks at 44/58 as well (small substituted amines?).
296-208 is usual fragment for N-Et-LSD and a peak adjacent to 209 is present
310-209 characteristic of nor-LSD/nor-iso-LSDSo, you’re missing quite a bunch of the normal peaks but you have what might be degradation products or side impure product present, but it seems pretty inconclusive.

Unfortunately it appears that no clear conclusions can be drawn. The blotter cannot be positively identified as LSD, but it also cannot be identified as a closely related compound or even as a completely different psychedelic compound. These blotters were clearly active in man, and displayed a psychedelic character very close to LSD. The major issue is lack of comprehensive test results, as GC/MS analysis is not easily available. Even if these tests are conducted, the data is not typically shared widely. It seems likely that these problems will become more manageable as technology progresses.
It is very likely that closely related compounds to LSD have been synthesized and tested in man. The precursors are available, the skills are out there, and the desire exists. Whether these exotic relatives of the world’s most famous psychedelic remain limited to a select few or have been surreptitiously released on a wider scale to a mostly unaware public remains to be seen.

This is a great post. I do wonder why someone would go out of there way to produce these analogues? I assume the precursors are still controlled and the synth would be just as difficult as LSD (assumptions) so why bother?
When George Mallory was asked why he wanted to climb Everest, he replied “Because it’s there.” A similar desire for exploration may apply to the very few chemists possessing the skill and access to the required precursors. There are also practical considerations - certain analogs could be more potent leading to more profit, or possess varying effects that could appeal to different markets.
There are some rather obscure uncontrolled precursors out there that may more easily be synthesized to a LSD analog rather than LSD itself. My personal guess as to why more analogs aren’t being synthesized is because people involved with the production of LSD tend to have a belief that it is a special molecule with the ability to change the way people think and how the world operates.
Please post your articles to your twitter feed, at least once, they’re really interesting and I don’t like missing them!
I already tried this type of bitter blotters and have to agree that this is not LSD but neither is DOB. Nevertheless the experience was good but i would still prefer real L
There is some very interesting research going on with LSx chemicals over at http://herbs.maxforum.org/ , I highly recommend reading the hell out of this site. I at one point backed the entire thing up to my hard drive, and I might have to do it again…
Based on the subjective effects described by this LSD analog (and the fact that it doesn’t match LSD or LSP) suggests that it may be either AL-LAD or LSZ. This is especially likely nowadays because there have already been a few legal vendors popping up offering them as research chemicals, often (at bulk prices) cheaper than what you’d pay for LSD. 🙂
ITs quite amazing that someone actual created these… or perhaps may have extracted them someone or maybe its a metabolite of some sort, all I know is its LSD pt 2 meaning Legal LSD it would be nice to try what that era got to see.. If you can see god and be empathic entactic and all that then I wwould really like to go to that astroplane atleast once from this substance.
As someone else mentioned, have you (or the OP) considered the quite available new LSD analogs out that DID come in crystal form to select vendors?
1P-LSD
AL-LAD
LSZ
