LSD is not trivial to make but once you can, you can produce an entire country's supply in no time, given the minuscule dosage.

The United States is estimated to have very few acid makers, with roughly a half-dozen accountable for most of the country's supply.

1P-LSD is currently legal and mass produced for cheap online. Much what we see is this.

Since 1P-LSD is theorized to be a prodrug of LSD, it would likely be illegal in the United States under the Federal Analogue Act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Analogue_Act
