During the "Mad Men" era, America was becoming saturated with LSD!LSD permanently changed America. The first drug that the intelligentsia and social elites picked up on as a tool for personal development, for enlightenment, even. For a brief moment, taking LSD was akin to a religious sacrament. BUT. It was also a dark Pandora’s box. The CIA tried to use it as a mind control drug on U.S. citizens, and LSD helped birth the drug culture that still pervades America today. Did it derail the countercultural movements of the 1960’s. We will meet brilliant scientists, philosophers, naive young geniuses, and murderous motorcycle gangs. We will see the holocaust camps of Nazi Germany, the salons of 1950’s Hollywood, and the forgotten back alleys of mid-century America.
