The Outlaw Chemist Teaching People How to Make Drugs From Scratch
Filed by Ada Circuit
Willy Myco has made over 120 videos showing people his exact process for making everything from LSD to DMT vapes. Not everyone’s a fan of his methods.

Willy Myco isn’t just uploading recipes; he’s building a searchable, replicable library of chemical knowledge in the public square. When you strip away the flash of "outlaw" and "LSD," the real story is one of radical, unlicensed information diffusion. We’ve seen this before—with 3D printing blueprints and encryption tools—but chemistry has finally caught up to the internet’s refusal to honor jurisdiction.
This matters because it places a spotlight on the limits of "walled-off" expertise. Myco’s 120+ videos demonstrate that the barrier to entry for complex synthesis is collapsing, not because of advanced tech, but sheer persistence and a camera. This is the ultimate open-source experiment, and critics are right to worry; unfiltered, high-yield instructions on DMT vapes are a Pandora’s box with zero safety regulations.
The deeper signal is for platforms, not politicians. The algorithm doesn't judge legality, only engagement. The future isn't about *if* this knowledge spreads, but whether we can build frameworks for education and harm reduction faster than the cat-and-mouse game of takedowns.
The internet has a habit of handing us the keys to the lab. The only question left is whether we’re willing to look at what’s boiling in the beaker.
