LSD

Lysergic acid diethylamide, or acid, is a psychedelic drug discovered by Albert Hofmann in 1938. It was initially marketed as Delysid, a drug intended to treat psychiatric patients. But, as the counter culture discovered the experience, support for recreational use increased. The US government saw open-minded and free-thinking individuals as a threat to the stability of society and therefore made LSD highly illegal to possess in 1970.

Blotter Paper
Before William Pickard was busted by the DEA, he was producing multiple kilograms of pure crystalline LSD per week, and there was an abundance of it on the market. Nowadays a large percentage of supposed "acid" is simply a DOx research chemical sprayed on blotter paper, but the real thing IS still out there.

Acid's immense potency is astounding: only a few hundred micro-grams need be ingested to produce intense effects. LSD affects the way the receptors in your brain process thought, sensation, and emotion, often leading to a blend of the senses and the imagination. There are nearly no physical side effects, however chronic users have reported "flashbacks" even years after the original dose. There is little to no evidence to support claims that acid actually stays in the human body more than a few hours after ingestion.

The effects include euphoria, a feeling of universal-togetherness, intense streams of thought, and visual hallucinations including infinitely complex pulsing textures and melting colors.  An LSD trip is like being reborn, allowing you to gain new perspectives on existence and consciousness.

  1. This all sounds a bit vague. Although Timothy Leary was a major figure in the 1960s counter-culture, I always saw him as a pretentious ratbag spouting quasi-religious drivel. Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters were more my style (and were instrumental in getting acid banned). My own experience of this dichotomy is recorded in Drugs and Religious Experience.
