What is 1D LSD anyway?
1D LSD is a derivative of the legendary LSD. Users of this substance report identical effects to the original. The only difference between the two substances is that the chemical structure of 1D LSD has been slightly changed.
Negative publicity leads to a ban.
The sale of 1D LSD through publicly accessible vending machines in Mannheim made headlines in mid-2024 and sparked a heated debate. Critics, including health bureaucrats, warn of the risks of selling such psychedelic derivative products, which were accessible through vending machines, online shops or mail order. Particularly in southern Germany, including Stuttgart, these new sales channels were met with suspicion, as the chemical structure of 1D LSD and its potential health effects have not yet been sufficiently researched. The Stuttgarter Zeitung reported that many stores and online platforms do not have clear legal restrictions on the distribution and consumption of these substances. This raised concerns about uncontrolled availability and the potential dangers for consumers.
Why was 1D LSD legal?
In short: In Germany, any substance that is not explicitly listed as illegal is legal. 1D LSD was legal in Germany until the Bundestag passed a resolution on June 14, 2024. However, it now falls under the NpSG, so it can no longer be sold.
The predecessors of 1D LSD (1cP LSD and 1V LSD) were already included in the new psychoactive substances law (NpSG) in recent years, despite many enthusiastic customers. This means that these derivatives can no longer be sold freely in Germany, but a kind of cat and mouse game developed between the legislator and suppliers, who also began to sell their LSD derivatives in snack machines.
Why and how was 1D LSD banned?
The Federal Council meeting on June 14, 2024 passed the Fifth Ordinance Amending the Annex to the New Psychoactive Substances Act (NpSG). The law came into force promptly, so we stopped our sales accordingly.
Mainly, the regulation of the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide NO2 was decided and the ban on 1D LSD (and HHC) was "waved through" "in passing" in the Federal Council meeting.
What does the change in the law mean for me as a researcher?
With the change in the law, you don't have to worry about possessing your research material (1D LSD), because possession remains legal. However, selling and distributing it is no longer allowed.
What is the current outlook?
We are proud to be able to offer you a new derivative: 1S LSD can be purchased from us despite the new NpSG adjustment! We are of course working at full speed to be able to offer you even more new products.
