Historical article from the late 60’s to early 70’s?
I’m guessing the trend started because LSD isn’t picked up in the drug test kits that they normally run for employee drug screening. Those check only for cannabis, cocaine, opiates, and amphetamines, I believe. MDMA would probably be detected as well since it’s closely related to amphetamines.
I'm actually surprised to read that people are still using LSD. I thought it was going gone.
LSD was significantly distributed into America by a network of dealers that followed the Grateful Dead. When the Dead came to town, so did LSD, where it was purchased from smaller dealers and sold throughout college towns.
LSD, real LSD, remained popular through the 80s and early 90s and then Jerry Garcia died and and that whole carnival ended. The distribution network largely dried up. Of course, most of the people that actually knew how to make LSD, real LSD, were boomers, and they're leaving us as well.
The stuff today? Where is it coming from? Who's cooking it up? Is it anything like the real deal that hippies, deadheads, and college students consumed for nearly 30 years?
