I wonder how 'the family' has managed to operate as long as they have without being infiltrated by the feds

Do the feds just not go after LSD dealers as much as other drug trafficking circles or do they have some 3rd eye hippie super powers going on where they can smell the pigs a mile away? Or maybe the feds just don't want to bother camping out in the woods with smelly hippies for 2 weeks at rainbow gathering to get intel lol

Probably because 95% of the people who call themselves Family are entirely full of shit.

THIS. excellent, excellent question. The DEA has lamented in field reports about LSD distribution that they have not had any significant success in turning low-level suppliers/getting to the manufacturers. In fact, putting aside the Pickard bust (which was epic), they only seem to bust a lab twice every decade or so. I think it's a combination of better opsec, and a more principled dealer base that simply will not rat/flip. Great, great question though.

It's all about trust. Most of the elders are older and have lived long enough to know not to trust new comers.

Hippies tend to stay off the grid

They're probably pretty smart.

It was/is my understanding that "the family" responsible for manufacturing and distributing LSD have absolutely noting to do with the "rainbow family" other than the demographic that is the "rainbow family" certainly enjoys the fruits of "the families" labor.

This is not a group of gypsies that gather in the woods and drop acid. "The family" is just your unaverage organized crime group that probably barely resembles it's origins if at all.

Sorry to be less knowledgeable, but could anyone explain what the family is or a link to info? Sounds interesting.

Even if they camp naked in the woods they have more Opsec/Skills/Balls/Tabs (without DNM drama) than most of the 14yo criminals here ..

LSD is just the perfect little loophole isn't it? Just thinking about it makes me all happy :D

Reading all of the comments here, the short answer is, they do successfully flip aka turn into informants people dealing with this network. It has happened before. I have a close friend who did, but the information he gave them was about someone from a competing drug organization not the one he was in. But, it happens. This same friend had an epic scale liquid LSD bust tied to it, it did not make the news. Don't assume if it happened you would hear about it

You would be surprised how making all who they allow to join do the "thumbprint" will weed out narcs, feds and posers completely. Kind of hard to maintain cover when all of reality is bending around you and then in you and then everywhere.

OMG hahaha. I actually lol'd on that last sentence.

You wanna be in GDF? Then youre gonna have to take LSD a bunch of times with a bunch of other people who are also under the influence. LE cant do drugs (drugs like LSD are too strong and its still illegal for them)
