Man nennt diese Dinge auch bewusstseinserweiternde Substanzen. Diese Bewusstseinserweiterung würde uns schmerzlich fehlen. In einer Welt, in der, um nur 2 Beispiele zu nennen, Jimi #Hendrix kein #Cannabis geraucht und die #Beatles kein #LSD genommen hätten, würden wir uns zu Tode langweilen.
Today in Labor History November 16, 1938: LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hofmann at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel. The original intention of the lab was to create a new drug that stimulated the respiratory and circulatory system. It was not until April 19, 1943, that he would first sample the new drug, when he accidentally absorbed some, leading to his famous bike ride home. After an initial period of anxiety and terror, he began to settle in with the experience, which he described as such: “In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors.” April 19 is now celebrated as Bicycle Day.
In 1947, Sandoz began providing the drug to researchers under the trade name Delysid. Throughout the 1950s, researchers began using the drug to treat …

In 1947, Sandoz began providing the drug to researchers under the trade name Delysid. Throughout the 1950s, researchers began using the drug to treat mental illness. Humphry Osmond gave LSD to alcoholics who had failed to recover through other methods. After 1 year, 50% were still sober, a success rate that was significantly higher than any other then known method of treatment. Early experimenters and proponents of the drug included the writer Aldous Huxley, the anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson, and actor Cary Grant. The CIA gave it to many unwitting victims as part of their infamous MKULTRA program researching mind control. There were also willing MKULTRA volunteers, like Ken Kesey and Allen Ginsberg. And, for a short time, the working class had legal access to inexpensive trips.

erik davis's new "blotter" begins with an absolutely majestic history of #LSD blotter, beautiful & brilliant, naming names, describing production techniques, uncovering lore, even identifying the mysterious dealer mcdope & getting mark mccloud to open up about his career as a blotter maker. wild stuff. (disclosure: i edited the all-star annotations of mccloud's collection in the book's back half.) https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262048507/blotter/ #psychedelics #psychedelic #art #books @bookstodon
Aufgrund einer 📦-Sendung aus Thailand mit ~ 20 kg #Cannabis hat das #ZFAdresden die Wohnung eines mutmaßlichen Drogendealers durchsucht.
🚫 Dabei wurden u.a. 5 kg #Haschisch, 700 gr #Kokain & mehrere hundert #LSD-Trips gefunden.

Just heard another story of someone taking too much #LSD 😔
Firstly, LSD is a hard entry to psychedelics. I would recommend psilocybin mushrooms instead.
Secondly, most LSD tabs I've come across are "strong". I would generally not recommend a whole one.
Thirdly, LSD is completely water soluble. Instead of trying to cut a tiny piece of paper accurately, leave a tab in e.g. 1 liter of water (distilled or mineral!) in the fridge overnight. You can dose far more reliabily that way.
Ich habe mal ein Interview mit einem guten Freund geführt, der als Beamter früher unterschiedliche Drogen geschmissen hat.
Wie es dazu kam und wie er wieder davon losgekommen ist, ist Thema des Interviews. (Der Name ist natürlich geändert.)
Ich auf jeden Fall fand es sehr interessant.

Mikrodosierung mit #LSD wird als aussichtsreiche Therapieform für neurodivergente Menschen diskutiert, doch verwandte Medikamente sind für ihre Neigung zu Herzklappenfehlern vom Markt genommen worden. Es existiert irritierend wenig Wissenschaftskommunikation dazu. Darum habe ich mich selbst in die Studienlage eingegraben.

Oh man, I just saw on Reddit that, in an interview with
an Italian website, Jim the bass player mentioned that near mythological #Cardiacs LP #LSD (that was unfinished at the time of Tim Smith's debilitating illness) is close to being completed.
I don't know how I feel about this. Joy that new Cardiacs is coming, but sadness knowing that it's never going to be a 'proper' Cardiacs release what with Timmy dying and all that...
"Mediating the profane as much as the sacred, blotter became the central vehicle of LSD’s own weird drift through the post-hippie era."
In an excerpt from his book "Blotter: The Untold Story of an Acid Medium," Erik Davis theorizes on why blotter proved the ideal carrier for #LSD: https://aeon.co/essays/how-outlaw-chemists-used-blotter-to-dose-the-world-with-lsd

Today in labor History January 17, 1961: Patrice Lumumba, anti-colonial fighter and former premier of the newly independent Republic of the Congo, was assassinated with the complicity of the CIA. President Eisenhower authorized an assassination in 1960, because of Lumumba’s ties with the Soviet Union. CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb planned to kill him with poisoned toothpaste. Gottlieb was the main scientist behind the CIA’s MKUltra program, which did illegal human mind control experiments with drugs, like LSD, without the victim’s knowledge or consent. He was also involved in numerous assassinations.
