So, can I use that chart to somehow whip up some LSD-25 in the kitchen? How would I go about doing that? It's not for me, the neighbour wants to know.
Sure, all you need is some moldy grain, a petri dish, and a bicycle.
Google "PIHKaL" and "TIHKaL". Erowid used to host the full text of both books, dunno if they still do (Shulgin himself distributed them for free)
Edit: eh fuck it, I was curious if they were still there...

The synthesization of LSD-25 is in TIHKaL (though, from my understanding, it's not very easy)
Those are the links from Google, but they're not loading on my phone so I dunno
No, this requires at least a couple of years of experience in a chemistry lab to manufacturer.
Perhaps concentrating LSA from plant material would be more your speed. Check out Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds. Fairly easy to extract and you can do it in your kitchen.
