3.0 out of 5 stars Not the real deal, October 4, 2005

This review is from: Practical LSD Manufacture (Paperback)

I had to create a brand new amazon ID for myself to write this review because even admitting that one had read this can be toxic to one's career.

It's obvious to me (as a former student of chemistry) that Fester never made LSD himself. It's also clear that he didn't spend enough time researching the subject. The first edition had several errors in it - some of them due to bad proof reading but others due to mistakes Fester made because of a rushed job. This is much better but still ... a person looking for good advice on how to make LSD should investigate Shulgin's Tihkal ... I definitely get the impression that Shulgin has either made LSD himself or is one intimate terms with someone who did.

So why am I giving this 3 stars if I think it's so bad? Because the book is not a complete waste. I rather admire the notion that someone like Fester would spend so much time writing subversive books like this. His freedom-loving spirit is refreshing in these conformist and authoritarian times.

5.0 out of 5 stars The right book for the thinking Psychonaut, September 29, 2004

J.R.R.Abrahão (aka) "Mad Abe" "jrra" (São Paulo, SP, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Practical LSD Manufacture (Paperback)

I'm a former intelligence officer to my country and, as such, I meet several famous persons, and also became friend of some.
One of these persons was the late Timothy Leary, with whom I keept corresponding for years after meeting by person a few times (one of these times here in Brazil).
My "other side" is know to more people than my "warrior side", for obvious reasons: I'm an occultist and published author of 60 titles in my country, mostly on Magic and such topics.
I was ever intrigued by LSD, and my curiosity go beyound the experimentation: I wanted to know how it is done.
Them I found this book, the first one I've buy from this author.
All I wanted to know was there. Long Live Uncle Fester! Keep telling us these valuable secrets!

In the sixties Timothy Leery told us to drop acid and drop out. Uncle Fester took it a step further with actual recipes for making your own LSD! You'll definitely want to take this trip!
