History of lysergic acid diethylamide

Lysergic acid diethylamide, also known as LSD, is a type of drug that people have been using for many years. It was first developed in 1938 by a Swiss chemist named Albert Hofmann. He discovered the drug while experimenting with a fungus called Ergot. He then started to study its effects on humans, and LSD soon became popular in the 1960s as a "psychedelic" drug, meaning that it causes people to feel changes in their thoughts, senses, and emotions. It can produce hallucinations, intense feelings, and a distorted sense of time and reality. It is now illegal in many countries because it can be dangerous if taken in large doses.
