5) A Brief History of LSD

First made in 1938 by the chemist Dr. Albert Hoffman in Switzerland. It was originally made as a respiratory and circulatory stimulant although the research was stopped because the drug brought no benefits. Though it was later used as an instrument for studying mental illness. In the 1960's and 70's LSD was the top drug of choice although after the negative effects of the drug were made public, its popularity fell. LSD though in recent years has slowly regained its popularity with young adults as it is cheap and easy to buy.
