L.S.D.

I was watching this series called "the drug years" on vh1 classic last night, and it was really entertaining. Really fascinating shit about LSD. This Dr. Albert swiss chemist first created it in an effort to create a substance to relieve migranes. He ended up taking it himself, began to feel strange and got on his bike and rode for hours through the swiss countryside. This was the first acid trip ever experienced. Another odd fact is that apparently, the scientist who first proposed that the structure of DNA was a double helix in structure, was on LSD when he first concieved of the idea. So, in a way, we owe our modern understanding of DNA to acid.
