No doubt. Most of the trans-uranic elements are more expensive to synthesize. I'd imagine LSD is close.

Standard dose of LSD is roughly 100 micrograms (googled it, not from experience).

$1B/kg = $1M/g = $1/microg

This works out to about $100/dose

While I doubt LSD costs this much, I assume it's at least $5, which works out to $50M/kg.

Of course, that's retail in an industry with massive markup. If LSD were leagal it would be much, much cheaper.

Lucentis, a new macular degeneration drug, will likely be sold for $2000 per 1 mg. That gets to $2B per kilo if my math isn't off too much....

The electric company doesn't sell you electrons. It sells you energy. You provide the electrons.
