true. the easiest way to grow ergot is with uncultured rye seed, soak it in sugar water, drain, spread the rye seed in a pyrex dish, seran wrap it, set it in the dark.
then begins the simple process that requires a rice cooker, some copper tubing and a few other things and voila! the contents collecting in the jar at the end of the tube is your liquid trip mind expansion.
Madam Lotus approved.
everything here was built pure chemical. we were ground zero for the 50's cia acid test and 60's ginsberg et al experimentation. it's even in a lot of our history classes.
when in school one of my university psychology professors had been involved directly. his class was the first to fill up in any semester lol.
in the late 60's /early 70's we had a pharmacology college that over produced massive numbers of graduates. when they couldn't find work, many turned their skills to other pursuits. speed, lsd, etc was cheap and easy to find well into the 80's. the cocaine cartels/gangs eventually put the few left out of business, they didn't have the propensity for violence the newer guys had.
