    It’s definitely not LSD. There’s no CH3 group off the bottom right and others are saying the cut off part of the LSD molecule in the picture has more to it too.

    Maybe it’s meant to illicit the idea, but it’s not a perfect match.

      Others are wrong. Please see the Reddit post where it shows the topmost portion. It has only three edges. It’s open-topped.

      As for the methyl and CH3 groups, that’s where, as noted, I begin to suspect erroneous human pattern recognition, but I’d also see a universe where those were too cumbersome to incorporate as elements of a functional shelf (unlike the carbonyl group, albeit that’s only one layer) and thus were ignored.

      It’s just added plausible deniability. By not matching perfectly the person who added it in can just play dumb and just claim that it is a coincident if someone got mad.
