bℓσωηG Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) LSD, now made in IndiaAn indigenous industry engaged in manufacturing the popular party drug has spawned in parts of the state and Gujarat; it was earlier smuggled in from Europe and the USA It's raining money for businesses this festive season and drug dealers don't want to be left behind. To cater to the spurt in demand for LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethymalide), drug dealers have set up manufacturing units in the outskirts of Maharashtra and parts of Gujarat, said Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials. The popular party drug was, so far, smuggled in from Europe and the USA owing to lack of expertise needed for its manufacture. Now, however, chemical experts help the dealers in making LSD in areas like Raigadh district, Vapi and Valsad and it is then smuggled into major cities like Mumbai using ingenious methods. One of the popular ways of evading detection is soaking blotting paper in the chemical and camouflaging it with images of Hindu gods, celebrities, heritage sites and sun signs. The paper is then divided into tiny strips which the user puts under his tongue to let the LSD mix with saliva. Each strip costs around Rs 2,000 while the complete paper is sold for nearly Rs 6 lakh. "The demand for LSD in party circuits in Mumbai has increased by several times. Hence, dealers have started manufacturing it here," said a senior NCB. "Using blotting paper or blotter makes the drug difficult to detect and makes bulk transfers easy owing to its small volume. Blotter is also easy to dispose during a raid." The official added that agencies are keeping a close watch on the manufacturing units and are likely to zero-in on them soon. According to preliminary reports, a few foreigners are also suspected to be involved in the illegal manufacturing. 'Trippy' LSD needs to be made through synthesisation of chemicals, a process which requires immense skill and expertise. Made by reacting diethylamine with an activated form of lysergic acid, LSD is available in three forms liquid, sugar cubes and blotter. Sources said blotter is the most commonly used form and is easy to consume and supply. The street names for LSD include Trip, Acid, Dose, Blotter and CID. http://www.mid-day.c...ews/2010/oct/14 ... y-drug.htm Edited October 21, 2010 by blowng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FancyPants Posted October 21, 2010 Hope I'm not derailing the thread... is "saure" where "sour" came from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wandjina Posted October 22, 2010 I think so, yes The online etymology dictionary has this to say: O.E. sur, from P.Gmc. *suraz (cf. O.N. surr, M.Du. suur, Du. zuur, O.H.G. sur, Ger. Sauer), from PIE base *suro- "sour, salty, bitter" (cf. O.C.S. syru, Rus. syroi "moist, raw;" Lith. suras "salty," suris "cheese"). French sur "sour, tart" (12c.) is a Gmc. loan-word. The verb is attested from c.1300. Sense in whisky sour is from 1885. Sour cream is attested from 1855. Now if we can just get someone to translate - LOL I assume 'Gmc' means Germanic. Sauerkraut anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Genius Posted October 24, 2010 Saure is actually written Säure which means acid like you already mentioned. Not sure which one existed first but in the german and the english language there are many words that are similar and who developed from each other. Sour is pretty similar to the german verb sauer. Bitter is also a german verb that is the same in english. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
