Legal Lsd?
Legal LSD?
A California man who is on trial for operating an "under ground LSD laboratory" presented a rather unusual defense this week.
Twenty-eight year old Robert Scully admitted in Federal Court that he produced large quantities of a mind-altering drug; but he quickly added that not the kind of "acid" that is outlawed by the Federal Government.
Scully told Federal Judge Samuel Conti that he had conferred with other LSD experts, including Owsley to devise an "acid" which was legal and better than the conventional LSD.
Scully testified that his laboratory in the northern California community of Windson was turning out--not "D-LSD-25", which is illegal--but "ALD-52" a chemical which Scully insisted was perfectly legal, has all of the good points of LSD, but it minimized the chances of bad trips.
Scully's San Francisco trial is still in progress. His underground laboratory was said to have been financed by William Mellon Hitchcock, a multi-million dollar heir to the Gulf Oil fortune.
