rare footage of 1950s housewife in LSD experiment / Watch What Happens When a Portrait Artist Takes LSD

Footage of a woman taking a dose of LSD with Sidney Cohen in about 1956

What happened?

You'll have fun with this one, guaranteed.

And it raises some interesting questions about what
the 1960s really was all about and who was behind the
drug-fueled "counter-culture."


Soon after it was accidentally formulated in Switzerland, LSD became a plaything of the military and CIA.

As early as the 1950s, they knew exactly what impact clean LSD had on people and sought to find ways to use it as a weapon or for mind control.

It didn't work for those purposes, so they dumped tons of it on the San Francisco Bay Area just as the large, broad based anti-war movement was building momentum.

Thus the "drug culture" of the 1960s was created and this extraordinary instrument of perceptual exploration was made illegal and the people made interested in it were criminalized.
