Synthesis of psychedelics

The synthesis of psychedelics involves chemically transforming precursor compounds through controlled reactions to produce active psychedelic substances. This process requires specialized knowledge of organic chemistry, including using specific reagents and conditions to modify molecular structures. Typically conducted in well-equipped laboratories, synthesis aims to create compounds like psilocybin or LSD with high purity and potency. It’s a complex process that involves multiple steps, precise measurements, and safety protocols to ensure correct formation of the desired psychedelic molecule without contaminants.
