complex it with beta-cyclodextrin or 18-crown-6, run it through lc-ms/ms. i guarantee you can differentiate all epimers.

No L-LSD at all, in all likelihood. iso-LSD, however, is another matter.
I'd also be very cautious about discussing the tase of benzodifurans...
Most of this thread seems quite informative.
So, where did your L-LSD come from? I somehow doubt that folks are carrying out cumbersome and ineffecient total syntheses of ergolines for commercial gain when natural lysergic acid is apparently fairly ubiquitous.LSD is a chiral compound with two stereocenters at the carbon atoms C-5 and C-8, so that theoretically four different optical isomers of LSD could exist. LSD, also called (+)-D-LSD, has the absolute configuration (5R,8R). The C-5 isomers of lysergamides do not exist in nature and are not formed during the synthesis from D-lysergic acid.

It *is* however indicative of benzodifurans.
Strychnine is a known myth. As in it is an irrefutable fact that it is not present in street LSD. I've seen some testing to show that the average dose of street acid (100mics) is only 20-40% purity. That means you're probably consuming 20-40micrograms D-LSD per hit. How much L-LSD are you consuming with your sub-threshhold hit of acid?
This thread is positively deplorable. You guys need to check your facts. And I expect better out of you endlessness. Not just because you're a long standing member with an impressive 11k posts, but because you are a moderator and people look up to your advice.
