Psychedelics have impacted history for as long as there have been people wanting to get their minds blown. May people have been under the influence from, Salem witches to 1960s hippies and Steve Jobs. Mind-altering substances have changed our world. We learn about how this class of drugs alters consciousness, and causes hallucinations, fears or paranoias; how an accidental dose of LSD kicked off the modern psychedelic era; mind control experiments; LSD in the 60’s; the 6 words that defined a generation; magic mushrooms; hallucinogens and religious experiences over 9,000 years; and the American War on Drugs. Psychedelic drugs are being used by more adults today than in the hippies’ years and moves are being made to legalize them for medical and even recreational use.
