In this post we will discuss the history of LSD and why it is so important for users of this drug to get the drug treatment that they need.
LSD (otherwise known as acid, blue acid, acid cube, and other names) was first synthesized by swiss scientist Dr. Albert Hofmann at a lab in Switzerland. This discovery was made in 1938. Hofmann was experimenting with ergot alkaloid derivatives (for medicinal use)when the discovery was made. After much mixing of different chemicals what we know as LSD was founded and in 1947 it started being marketed. The drug name at that time was Delysid. A year later it presented in the United States.
The lab (Sandoz Laboratories) where LSD was found marketed the drug as a basic cure all for psychiatric problems. Around 1950 many studies came into play and over 1,000 scientific papers were written about LSD. For quite a while everyone thought this was a wonder drug and then as further data presented itself the scientific community became alarmed and it was not prescribed to patients.
In the 1960's and 1970's LSD was the preferred psychedelic drug. The use was wide spread. When users started having effects of LSD like "flashbacks" the drug lost a lot of it's luster. In the 1980's funding came to a halt for scientific research on the drug.
