- Yes, While no expert on LSD, I had understood that it was a somewhat delicate
- substance with the need to store it at low temperatures and out of light to
- prevent degradation. (I think Hoffman mentions this in his "Problem Child"??)
-
- It would seem to me that the insides of a corpse and the residual blood in
- particular would be a particularly harsh environment, a veritable decaying
- stew. Wouldn't this rapidly destroy any LSD present (metabolites included)
- making the claimed analysis on an exhumed body impossible?
- Any forensic pathologists care to comment?
