VitaCat. For all the details you could want, see http://www.gwern.net/Silk%20Road#lsd-case-study

Thanks for responding. I'm no longer skeptical!

I didn't include it in the original writeup because I thought 'well, it's not like SR sellers are household names and anyone would go "oh! VitaCat! I know that dude, he's good stuff"'. Guess I was wrong...

/edits writeup to be more explicit about the LSD source.

It's not that I know of the specific seller. I have never consumed LSD. I have never been on the SR and now obviously never will. However, you included so many details to demonstrate the rigor of your process, yet you didn't explain how you knew you were even using LSD, which seems to be far and away the single most important detail of the experiment. Now you have!

Thank you.
