LSD can only be synthesized, and while I have no interest in learning how it’s made I can’t find a source that can tell me why it can’t occur on Earth without human intervention
In: Chemistry
Far as I know the closest component to LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) found in nature is LSA (Lysergic acid amide), also known as ergine. LSA is structurally similar to LSD and is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain plants, particularly in the seeds of the morning glory species (e.g., Ipomoea tricolor) and the Hawaiian baby woodrose (Argyreia nervosa).
