The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley does a good job.

All in all, I cannot fathom those who advocated widespead use of such a potent drug.

Unless set, setting and company is controlled, one can have a disastrous experience. Dropping acid at school or college on a whim is what often led to a horrible experience.

Acid is a very strange drug, and widespread use is certainly a bad idea. It’s not something to do for “fun”. Most people cannot deal with what is essentially a chemically induced psychotic episode. (that could easily go the wrong way - the “bad trip”) I could not imagine anyone being addicted to LSD.

Huxley also took the equivalent of about 20 doses of LSD intravenously while on his death bed. His wife shot him up with it, at his request. Huxley died on the same day as JFK and C.S. Lewis.
