Lysurgicdythalamide. That is LSD.
We had a couple of guys murdered here in north ga several years ago, one of them was a college professor(Dr. Charles Scudder) who had not only been
involved with the MKULTRA program, he developed LSD for the project. And long after he hid himself and his lover away in the woods into a hand
constructed mansion they named Corpsewood Manor, as they studied the occult they also made acid, or LSD. A very interesting story actually, check out

The history of LSD is very well documented. It was developed by a scientist named Albert Hofman in Switzerland at the Sandoz Pharmaceuticals labs in
1938 and first used as a psychiatric drug in 1943. The CIA received their first batch for MK-Ultra in 1950 -- which inaugurated one of two paths the
drug took into American society.
It was Sandoz LSD that Ken Kesey was given while as a graduate student at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California when he volunteered as a
subject in the Stanford LSD research trials in 1961-62. He smuggled some out, gave some to friends including a chemistry student at U. C. Berkeley
named Augustus Owsley III who was able to replicate it in large amounts in his makeshift lab at his studio apartment. It was then distributed among
the crowds attending early Grateful Dead (then known as the Warlocks) and Jefferson Airplane concerts at the Filmore and Winterland Ballrooms in jugs
of Kool-Aide, and the Flower Children were born. It was also distributed among the youth who frequented the free concerts and “Be Ins” which were
held in Golden Gate Park on the weekends.
Later, Owsley produced LSD in pill form, known as Owsley Brown, and even later he blended the chemical with dextrose to form thin clear sheets of LSD
which were then stamp-cut into paper-thin, 1mm square, 25 microgram doses which become known as Windowpane. He also came up with the first blotter
acid. Before it was finally made illegal in 1966 he had turned on a significant portion of San Francisco Bay Area youth to pure LSD. In the
meantime, others had learned how to make the drug in varying degrees of quality and it spread down the coast to the LA music scene. By late ’66, it
was being distributed at parties among the hip, rich and famous in New York City.
Owsley ceased production after the drug was made illegal and he then became an innovative sound engineer for such bands as the Grateful Dead,
Quicksilver Messenger Service, Big Brother & The Holding Company, and today holds patents on many devices and speaker system components. Owsley now
lives on a ranch in Australia and makes jewelry with his wife which they sell through their site on the net.
