I can't find any solid evidence for this specific hypothesis or even the 
implication that Impolex-G is a form of LSD (can you?), but I think you may 
be on the right track in tracing the cartel/chemical roots of Impolex-G.  
Wouldn't it be nice to have a chart showing all the industrial and chemical 
ties of all those companies.  It's REALLY an octopus!

Whether tickled by it or whatever it was Jamf did to Baby T., why would he 
be using Impolex-G, a "secret" material with God-knows-what purpose in this 
world?  This mystery was meant to provoke us into playing dectective, to try 
to unravel it along with Slothrop.
