LSD and Sex-Carson Cherry

When we see
the three letters LSD we think of hippies, Volkswagen vans, and music. We all
know the time period of which when the drug was most popular but what is it
about this drug that made it so powerful and addicting. The three letters LSD
stand for Lysergic Acid Diethylamide[1].
The drug was created by a man named Dr. Albert Hofmann from Switzerland. He
first discovered this drug in his laboratory on November 16, 1938 from an ergot
fungus, which infects rye grains. At the time he created LSD he did not know that
it was a form of drug. The project that he was working on that produced it was
put on the back burner. He decided to reopen the project in April of 1943. He
was working in the laboratory one day and accidently spilled some of the
solution on his hand which was then absorbed into his skin, this is when the
first “trip” off of LSD was experienced[2].
In 1947 LSD was introduced to the public as a drug that could possibly help
with mental issues. We have all heard the rumors about the CIA using the drug
for experiments and yes that is true. They used the LSD, also known as Delysid,
for mind control. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognized LSD as an
investigational new Drug in 1963 and by 1968 the possession of LSD was illegal[3]
Now that we know the history behind
LSD let’s talk its effects and how it was so powerful in the 60’s and 70’s to
use during sex. The most common way to take the drug during that time period
was through swallowing an acid tab. After the tab was swallowed the user would
start feeling the effect within 30 minutes to an hour with the peak of the “trip”
being from 2 to 5 hours with effects that could last up to 12 hours. After taking
LSD the person tends to be more turned on and eager to do erotic things and act
on fantasies. The drug changes what you think is reality and your judgment
basically falls of the map. Not only did people take LSD for the “trip” but
they also took it during sex because it made it seem like the sex lasted longer[4]
