The DEA claimed that having 30,000 Blotter Art sheets in his possession meant that he was supplying chemists and wholesalers. In 2000 McCloud was charged with "conspiracy to manufacture and distribute LSD". ![]() Initially his collection was based on street prints, which have subsequently been exposed to UV light to destroy the LSD. The original collector and originator of the scene is Mark McCloud, a San Francisco artist (and former Art Professor). This is art as a collectible and has never been dipped. Some iconic images have been circulating since the 70's (Eg: Hofmann's, Eye of Horus, Knights of Malta) other art work is dubbed "Vanity Blotter Art". There are distinctions within Blotter Art. This imagery originally served as an identifier of different batches of LSD, a form of "trademark". There is also a distinct sub-category of satirical Blotter Art, including images such as "Gorby" and "FBI". Occult and religious symbols have also been widely used. Images have typically been psychedelic in nature, or relied heavily on cartoon images. Over the years Blotter Art has developed as a field in its own right, with images ranging from multiple repeats (so each trip has a complete image), to complex images spanning a whole sheet. Secondly: There were many high profile busts in the late 60's and early 70's, during which pill presses were seized, LSD blotter was therefore more convenient for many to make. The move to lightweight LSD blotter therefore reduced sentences. If someone had LSD on a sugar cube weighing 1g then the sentence was the same as for an individual caught with 1g of crystal LSD (representing approx 10,000 LSD doses rather than just 1)!. Sentences were determined by the weight of the substance with which offenders were caught. There are likely two main reasons for this: Firstly, after LSD was made illegal in the US (in 1967) mandatory minimum sentencing was introduced. just follow the trail where you got it I guess (or better had done that years ago).From the mid 1970's blotter has been the most available form of LSD. I mean, I wouldn't cause that is not my brand of collector's tendency - but it doesn't harm anyone. The appreciation in this thread is both for the nostalgia and for the psychedelic art and doesn't necessarily influence what you will find 'on the street'.Įcstasy is 'meant to be popped' but some people collect different pills in huge drawers. Perhaps originally that was how it started - a mark like ecstasy prints or on the baggie of a street drug, but it's a bit limited to continue doing that when you can have reagents or lab tests for more actual security of what you're taking. Especially when years have passed the chances of it being the same batch really dwindle. I've seen tons of the classic hofmann bicycle blotter batches, fortunately all LSD but in different potencies etc, and I heard that other drugs are also put on bicycle blotter so it really wouldn't have said much. Trusting that one type of print is only from one batch may work in small communities, but generally gives you a false sense of security. ![]()
