MAPS: historical use of strychnine in acid

[trinity <shiva.kali@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

oh dear maps people.  i know that strychnine is not used in
lsd. *i* know it does not help lsd's effectiveness at all
and that it has no effect in "cutting" the batch of lsd.  at
least that is what i have learned thus far in my travels.
however, when talking to people and trying to help debunk
the myths, they just don't want to let go of those urban
legends.  the argument that strychnine is not on blotter
paper because not enough would FIT on blotter paper is
wonderous. it's easy to understand for even the most
confused drug user.  BUT i have a staunch debater who
insists that back in the 60s, when it came in pills and the
above argument doesn't work, that there was strychnine in
there. he says he had a friend who was a chemist who made it
and that there was some reason that the it was BETTER (or
helped it or something)  for the strychnine to be in there.
??? help! was there strychnine in there? for what reason?
if not, what could the situation have been for him to
believe that it was in there?  to top it all off, this guy
is my professor.  so i need a *good* solid answer that i can
back up. you guys were the only ones i could think of
asking.  reply privately, if you wish.

love,
shiva
