Trituration of Tablets

The upper plate is placed on a flat surface. The mixture (consistency of thick paste) is then pushed into the perforations on the upper plate with a spatula and the excess scrapped off It is then dusted with a fine powder of sucrose and allowed to dry. When the tablet sheet is almost dry, the plate is pressed onto the lower peg board to push the tablets through the perforations (pegs must be higher then thickness of mold). The tablets are allowed to dry a little further (not completely) on the top of the pegs and then are poured into a container for complete drying. 

Compressed tablets are formed with a tablet machine. The LSD is diluted into sugar, binder and lubricants and punched into tablets. LSD in this form was most prevalent during the 1960 s thru 1980 s. The cost of tablet equipment, size and weight (tonnage) tends to make this form prohibitive for security reasons. Tablets take up space and can not be easily concealed. Transportation of large quantities of tablets is subject to discovery by law enforcement and breakdown of tablets.
