We dropped a story about Willy Myco’s quest to synthesize LSD on camera for the first time in history — and now, we’re taking the conversation further.
For over eight decades, the process of synthesizing LSD has been shrouded in secrecy — gatekept by the highest echelon of chemists, regulated by strict laws, and entangled in the underbelly of organized crime. But what happens when someone dares to break the silence?
Join us for an electrifying discussion between journalist Patrick Maravelias and mycologist, chemist, and psychedelic educator Willy Myco, the first person to release a full-length, step-by-step video tutorial on how to synthesize LSD. This conversation will unravel the extraordinary journey that led Willy from concept to creation, navigating legal loopholes, FBI scrutiny, and international intrigue to film a groundbreaking instructional video.
Trust us, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
