LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland, as part of a large research program searching for medically useful ergot alkaloid derivatives. Its psychedelic properties were unknown until 5 years later, when Hofmann, acting on what he has called a "peculiar presentiment," returned to work on the chemical. He attributed the discovery of the compound's psychoactive effects to the accidental absorption of a tiny amount through his skin on April 16, which led to him testing a larger amount on himself for psychoactivity.

sadly the acid that is taken today compaired to 20 years ago is a basterdised version with more effects to physical sensation and a reduction in auditory and visual stimulation. it is said to be a hallucinogen but in it has been proven scientificaly that it actualy causes a temporay break down in a mental berior wich causes you to notice signals that you would normaly not notice it also sticks a door stop in the door to your subconcious wich allows your emagination to run wild there by the hullucination is based on an actual event taking place.
