MAPS: Questions on "LSD on paper"

[Holger Wagner <Holger.Wagner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear forum,

I have a few questions about LSD as it is sold on the black market.
Obviously, a major problem is that there is no way of finding out which
dose comes on one "portion". However, I've been wondering about a few
more things:

a) I understand that LSD is a very potential hallucinogen, and *assume*
that this is a reason why it is possible to distribute it on paper
instead of tablets. Are there other drugs which could be distributed
that way, or: does that make sure that on paper-LSD, there can be no
other drugs in effective doses? I know that there have been reports of
speed and even strychnine being sold as LSD - but I assume that those
were sold as tablets. Are there any reports available on what doses or
drugs are sold as "LSD on paper" (like it exists for Ecstasy)?

b) In "LSD - my problem child", Albert Hofmann says that LSD is easily
oxidated and thus would hardly "survive" more than a few weeks or months
(p. 78f, German version). However, some people claim they used
"paper-LSD" that has been months old and that it was still effective. If
that is true - does it mean that there must have been some other drug
involved which is not as vulnerable to oxygene as LSD, could that be the
result of a placebo effect or is it possible that LSD lasts much longer
than expected under certain circumstances?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Holger
