In recent years, the rise in the synthesis and distribution of LSD analogs in illicit drug markets, commonly referred to as "designer psychedelics", has contributed to increased recreational use. This trend has resulted in a rising number of global reports, with law enforcement increasingly detecting these compounds in blotter papers and biological samples. In the presented paper, an...
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) analogs, often referred to as new psychoactive substances, are synthesized to mimic controlled substances while evading drug regulations. This study emphasizes the challenges of identifying these compounds, particularly their isomeric forms. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and UV spectroscopy were employed to analyze 13 LSD analogs. The effects of...
