Some of the books are bullshit... Uncle Festers, for instance. I haven't finished reading Otto Snow's, so I can't comment on that one. But honestly, the recipe in TiHKAL is about as simple as it gets. I have to disagree with Touche Guevara, it's really not as difficult as people make it out to be; the skills required are generally taught by sophomore year in college.
But that said, if you have to ask, then it's probably not gonna happen. All it takes is a little bit of googling to find synths and understand the process... if you can't be arsed to use google, then you're probably not going to get far with LSD. Personally, I just think the risk is too great. Law enforcement hones in on acid chemists way more than on people extracting DMT. It's simply not worth the risk unless you have infrastructure insulating you from getting busted.
