LSD was invented when it was synthesized in a laboratory. It is not easy to make. It takes exotic chemicals and a master's in chemistry to synthesize. No one had it until it was created by Albert Hoffman.
Read the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. If I remember correctly, Ken Kesey was a test subject for the drug and took it out into the public. He had Hells Angels and all other kinds of people tripping out on acid in the California forests.
Quoting: Psychedelic Mashed Potatoes ive rad all that and 55 yrs more research
LSD existed in ancient Greece, there was a species of ergot with the LSD and without the gangrene [st Anthony's fire] causing toxic elements.
A simple water extraction was used to free the natural LSD
and used in the Elysian rites
as for synthesis ... perhaps some ppl think this industrial society is the first with advanced tech, industry, chemistry, and knowledge, i am not of that camp boots on ground 22 countries investigating archaeological sites, working alongside well known published experts from nazca to giza
i am familiar with '''fake archeology''' and the real thing.
Synthetic LSD isn't new either in my view
but it can be complex to make the SEMI-SYNTHETIC LSD-25
