According to Gwern's "Darknet Markets Arrests" post, LSD is the third most seized drug right behind MDMA and Marijuana. Why?

If LSD is the safest drug to mail why is it so close to the top of most seized drugs list?

if you look through the table you'll notice that a lot of the time the people who had LSD had a bunch of other drugs too, which is probably what they got caught on. i believe most of the time when people get caught with just LSD it's because they ordered from the netherlands which seems to be an instant red flag for customs.

LSD is a popular "... LE also found..." item it seems.

Are you actually talking outright mail interceptions or just looking at what got seized at the scene when the arrest was made?


[3 Points] None:

I believe most mail seizures are accomplished by tips from regular police work. Someone snitches and then they start monitoring mail and intercept whatever.

Cannabis, MDMA, and LSD are really popular, so it makes sense they would be commonly seized. It doesnt mean they have some special capability to detect LSD, and there is no evidence that any method of detecting LSD even exists. was one dog reported that could smell 5 microdots.

Because LEO's are so god damned jealous they can't handle it, much less have it themselves. Fucking greedy bastards. They get paid to jerk off in their offices while staring at Bailey Jay all day long and just decide "fuck it, I ain't paying for my LSD...I'm just gonna seize the shit, take it for my own."

And they prolly get high off it and just sit around and jerk off, right? Not like they can go to a concert and enjoy dancing around with eyes as big as the sun or anything. God damned hearts are so full of contempt...they don't even deserve LSD. But they need it, that's for sure.
