...costing from $2.50 to $5 for 100 micrograms, enough for an eight-to ten-hour trip. Another way of transporting small quantities is to mix them in water, soak the solution up in a handkerchief and let it dry-to be cut up later into squares, which LSD users chew. LSD is hard to track down because the compound is colorless, tasteless and odorless, and so potent that a gram, equal to one million micrograms, or 10,000 trips, could be stashed in a single cigarette.

The subject of rice probably never came up before the well-fed delegates at the nine-day Tri-Continental Conference, which drew 505 delegates from 85 countries to Havana's Hotel Libre.
