but getting into the post where the human condition of sufferance was being pondered i think we can link a cure to substance abuse to beer finally, and to this topic of consciousness made manifest.
so here goes the end is more interesting so follow through and see the Canadian connection and where they are today for credibility purposes and you may have a real chuckle.
Beer, hops and rye of fosters brand, chemical process, = LSD.
LSD, psychotherapy to treat alcoholism had a 50% rate of success and expanded personal views of self.
This following was posted on a joke website.
If tried and tested on a neighborers pesky cat I do not want to hear of it as it would be more then needed to share.
LSD can be derived from the ergot virus which is commonly found on
hops and wheat. While it's possible to scrape the virus off the stalks
of these plants, there's a much easier way to get ergot...
Foster's Beer is one of the few beers made with ergot-containing grains,
and it is definitely the most available. First, you'll need some big, blue
cans of Foster's Beer, which you can purchase at most local supermarkets.
1. Buy 12 cans of Foster's Beer. In a pan, heat the beer to a slow boil, in
order to remove the water and isolate the ergot-containing compounds.
Boiling off the water should take approximately 36 hours -- don't rush
the process, or you risk damaging the ergot-containing compounds. As
the beer evaporates, simply add more beer. In this way, eventually, you'll
have the essential compounds from all 12 beers in the bottom of the pan.
2. It's now necessary to pH neutralize the slightly acidic ergotamine
solution, using a weak base. No-fat household milk is ideal for the job.
Mix in 1/4 cup of no-fat milk (be *sure* not to use milk with any milkfat)
and wait 30 minutes for the solution to reach equilibrium. At this point,
you have a weak solution of ergotamine with which you can continue the
process. It should be a creamy brown color and a bit gooey. Be careful,
because ergotamine is deadly poison.
3. Next, it's necessary to combine lysine with the ergotamine solution.
Lysine is available in most health food stores. You'll need about 2
grams of lysine (that's 20 100mg pills). Cool the ergotamine solution
to near freezing in your freezer (to avoid desosphyxiation with CO2
in the air). Now, simply grind the pills into a powder and mix into
your ergotamine solution. You now have lysergic acid.
4. You *want* LSD, lysergic acid diethylamide, however, and so you need
to ethylate your compound and then ammonate it. Sound hard?
Simply add ethyl alcohol to the lysergic acid mixture. Pure grain
alcohol is ideal, but Bacardi 151 or some other high-proof alcohol will
work fine. Add 1 cup of pure alcohol, 1 1/3 cup of 151 proof, or
2 cups of 100 proof. Now, to remove the hydroxyls, add 6 cups of 4%
hydrogen peroxide (available at your local pharmacy) or 24 cups of
1% (stronger is better)
Be careful, because now your compound is explosive... [Keep it away from open flames]
5. Now, for the final step in preparation, add 4 ounces of pure ammonia to
the solution and let sit at room temperature for 3 days. This waiting
period allows for the slow reaction to take place -- at higher
temperatures this reaction occurs much more quickly, but you risk
decomposition of the LSD. At the end of the three days, you've done it!
The expected yield of LSD is 100 grams, over 1,000,000 doses! Be VERY,
VERY careful at this point, because the solution you're dealing with is
*extremely* *concentrated*. If any gets on your hands, you could be
tripping for years! Now, put about 20 gallons of water in a barrel,and
stir in the LSD using a large oar. At this level of dilution, a 1/4
cup contains about 100 hits. You can dispense the hits using an eye
dropper (3 or 4 drops per hit).
