RIP... I remember watching documentaries on LSD and seeing him speak on the topic. Theres much I can say however won't because it would spark an unwanted debate on the subject.

Marijuana requires: a green thumbed gardner, some dirt, and a basement.

Cocaine: an aspiring guerilla soldier, some plants and gas, and a jungle.
Heroin: another aspiring guerilla soldier, some more plants, and a desert.
LSD: a chemist with a Ph.D or a chemist with a masters on a lucky day, an extensive list of closely monitored precursors, and a well-equipped laboratory.

and like mindbomber says, lsd actually takes real skill to make.

I wouldn't trust LSD bought off some stranger in the street
When I was 16 though, I didn't care. And that was one fucking amazing experience. We built theories on sociology, anthropology, culture, music all kinds of shit.
After thinking about it sober though, it was all utter bullshit 
Maybe some people come up with incredible ideas when using LSD or other psychadelics, but most of the time it's just stoner bs. Or at least, you can take that idea and turn it into something sober...
Doesn't apply to art though

its sad that in our world we criminalize drugs that promote creativity and a deeper understanding of our world (physical and metaphysical)
psychotropic drugs should be on everyones bucket list

it's because you were 16.
lsd builds on what you already know. and at 16, much of what we know is incorrect or just crap we make up. the prefrontal cortex is not even fully developed till around age 25 for males.
you can turn ideas into sober ideas, you just have to think about stuff you're good at.
if you think about sociology and anthropology and you're not an expert on it... your theories are just crazy guesses.
if you're a phd in sociology, you could possibly come up with some real legit theories.
you can think about politics and global stuff, but you'd probably just end up having charlesincharge type ideas cuz the reality is we don't know anything about that topic. but if you were the head of the CIA and you took it, you'd have a much accurate picture to build on.
or if you do it now with the knowledge you have as an adult in some specialized area. perhaps expanding ideas based on businesses you own or whatever.
just because you hand someone a hammer doesn't mean they'll use it correctly.
lsd bought off the streets at most is just weak ass or has nothing in it at all. all the stuff u hear about pcp or some crazy shit like rat poison they put in there, are all urban legends. the amount of lsd you need to get high is so minuscule, that on that little square tab of paper, you literally can't fit any of those "bad things" ppl always say are inside.
a lot of those bad things are measured in grams, a square peice of paper is not even a gram (it probably wouldn't even register as 0.02grams), how do u pack something so big onto something so small? the typical lsd dose is like 60-80 micrograms. that's like.. a grain of sand cut in half...
at most you'd just get ripped off lol. some ppl i know have had success going to wreck beach on a sunny day and talking to the hippies there.

I've watched most of the Drugs Inc documentaries and the LSD one is particularly interesting. I have/won't ever do any "hard" drugs because no matter what people say I believe it messes with your head (yes obviously in higher than average doses/usages).
Still, like it's been mentioned some of the studies that have come out of using LSD, or even MDMA, for medical reasons is fairly interesting and can't be completely refuted.
