Nine drawings, done by an artist under the influence of LSD 25 as part of a test conducted by the US government in the late 1950’s. His subject is the doctor supervising him.
Quoted from the artist before starting the piece on the right:
I am … everything is … changed … they’re calling … your face … interwoven … who is …

one of my favorite conspiracy events. I’m actually working on a comic book based around these events.
indeed an intersting conspiracy event………why the testing, why the ban, and why the hate for hallucinagens
Why the ban on hallucinogens? I recall author Steven King singing the praises of Acid, but he also described it as being similar to Russian Roulette.
Some people (like King) found taking Acid very freeing; others (like some that King knew personally) NEVER regained their normal state of consciousness after taking Acid just once.
If you took something for fun at a party and woke up without your legs, would you want to see others protected from sharing your fate?
It could be argued that having sanity is even more precious than having limbs.
if you are taking acid just for the fun you shoul’d be taking acid. It’s a mind expanding drug, and I’m sure you don’t want to expand yourself into an ackward social gathering where you’ll most likely get paranoid (except for raves and psy culture).
And what sanity? Wall-mart sold sanity? Fake democracy kind? maybe, the sanity of beign hearded to the slaughterhouse and just not asking any damn question?
Take acid, listen to good music, see nature, see yourself.
[parts removed for acting a fool --Ed.] (…) no one’s dieing from acid, the only deaths from LSD have been from people’s reactions to the drug, (…) “Very few deaths are attributed exclusively to the pharmacologic effects of LSD. Deaths associated with LSD use are often from trauma resulting from risk-taking behavior while intoxicated. There is also a strong association between accidental injuries and LSD, especially among young users.” (…) just remember “don’t give in to astonishment” - Terence McKenna.
