A recent scientific study has stuck its middle finger up at the laws of the land when it comes to Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Also known as Acid. This psychedelic drug was mistakenly found in 1938, by Albert Hofmann. A Swiss Chemist, who was seeking to find A blood stimulant. Albert didn’t get to experience the well-known vivid hallucinations associated with this drug until 5 years later when he accidentally ingested some.
In 1951, the Military and Intelligence Service in the western world begun studying the drug as a potential chemical weapon. Believing it could be used to help control masses fo groups by altering their personalities.
LSD became popular in the early 60s, especially with the Hippies. Who loved seeing the world is more wonderful than what we think, with the intense hallucinations and the beautiful, bright, vivid colours. They believed the drug to be more of a spiritual experience. Which helped them become more one with the universe.
However, the Hippies didn’t have long to pleasure themselves with the experiences they fell in love with. The UK put Acid as a Class A drug within the Misuse use of Drug Act, in 1966. Also stopping any medical use 7 years later.
With my lack of trust in those who run our lives. I Partially suspect they probably knew and feared the great effect this drug has on our consciousness. As you can see now, with the beautiful shift taking place. The Leaders are not feeling all too comfortable with the masses waking up.
You’re probably reading this and thinking “This lady is crazy! This drug has nothing to do with making us more one, more conscious, more aware and awake! But Behold! 50 years later a scientific study proves just that.
Professor David Nutt, a former British Government’s Chief Drug Advisor, made a claim that Tobacco and Alcohol are more harmful than LSD, Cannabis, and Ecstasy. The statement made to a paper caused an uproar within the government. After all, it’s not in the job description, to be honest with the people. Sure enough, Nutt got the boot the following day.
With Cannabis already making the headlines as a beneficial drug, far less harmful than Alcohol and Tobacco. Nutt and his current co-worker Robin Carhart-Harris, at Imperial College, London, decided to get Crowdfunding to study LSD. They wanted to find out the effects this psychedelic drug has on the brain by using three different techniques of brain imaging.
The Study was carried out on 20 volunteers. On day one the volunteers received an injection of 75 mcg of Acid. Then 2 weeks later the participants were invited to the clinic again. However, this time they received placebo, unknowingly.
As you can see from the picture above. Whilst tripping on Acid the volunteers utilised nearly every area of their brain, which is shown in orange. Many parts of the brain that never communicated with each other, started sharing information! Crazy, right?
Attention, movement, hearing, and vision, are constant elements that are processed in separate areas of the brain within a specific way. But, now the brain was processing this information in an alternative more unified way, whilst the participants were on Acid.
Not only does this “Class A” drug unite most of the brain with communication. It also breaks away those shitty, rigid thought processes that we create whilst growing up! Dr. Carhart-Harris stated after the finding, “ The brain in the LSD state resembles the state our brains were in when we were infants: free and unconstrained.”
Pretty scary for the government and those truly in power, ay? Can’t have people roaming around utilizing such a vast majority of their brain power! Especially if the brain power can think free for itself! Unrepressed!
Nutt and Carhart-Harris discovered what caused.” the vivid, beautiful and sometimes not so beautiful hallucinations. “We saw many more areas of the brain than normal were contributing to visual processing under LSD, even though volunteers’ eyes were closed.” This is what caused the participants to have a full vivid, dreamlike trip.
The Universe, everything we see, even us humans are made of Conscious energy. That’s why we see the world around us become distorted and more lucid when we trip on acid with our eyes open. It is because the brain is more open to processing the energy around us. As different parts work together to process our vision whilst in the unique LSD state. Allowing us to see a more truthful version of all that surrounds us. Bright, vibrating conscious energy!
This is why Hippies back in the 60’s took this beautiful drug. To have a spiritual experience, altering their state of consciousness. To feel more one with the Universe. As Dr Carhart-Harris explained “ Our results suggest that this effect underlines the profound altered state of consciousness that people often describe during an LSD experience, It is also related to what people sometimes call ‘ego-dissolution’, which means the normal sense of self is broken down and replaced by a sense of reconnection with themselves, others and the natural world.”
The researchers also saw music being played increased information being processed within the part of the brain that deals with vision. Causing the volunteers closed eyes trip to become more complex.
I have only taken the drug once in a safe and secure environment, my home. With people who I trust my Fiancé, and a friend who is highly experienced with psychedelic drugs. Whilst tripping my Fiancé put a beautiful liquid D&B mix on YouTube on our TV, which had the exact feature image as the one below.
Now at the time, I was tripping I didn’t know this was a still image. The stars and clouds danced and intensified in a beautiful pattern, in rhythm with the music. When the music notes changed, so did the pattern of the dancing picture. Me and my Partner sat there for the Next 5 hours immersed in this beautiful, breathtaking trip. Seriously!
My Partner couldn’t stop giggling in a way I have never seen before. So wonderfully innocent, he couldn’t believe we were lost into this simple picture for hours. In awe of its magnificent, explored so many different parts of it. Being lost in a specific part of the stars for half an hour, then being taken over by the trees wonderful performance for the next hour.
So, it doesn’t surprise me when professor Nutt made Professor Nutt made the Following Statement.
“Scientists have waited 50 years for this moment – the revealing of how LSD alters our brain biology. For the first time, we can really see what’s happening in the brain during the psychedelic state, and can better understand why LSD had such a profound impact on self-awareness in users and on music and art. This could have great implications for psychiatry, and helping patients overcome conditions such as depression.”
In all honesty, I believe those who banned this psychedelic drug understood its effects. Ego-dissolution. Greater Consciousness. Honest vision. The grander sense of self. Because it’s not very easy oppressing people who understand the greater truth of the world around them. The greater truth of themselves.
“Psychedelics are illegal, not because of a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third-story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”

This blog is not made to make you want to try this drug. I have simply written this to educate you about the finding of Professor Nutt’s and Dr. Carhart-Harris study. But with my opinion based on my one experience.
If you want to hear more from Professor David Nutt about his viewpoint on Illegal drugs, and the government. Then have a little mouch at the video below.
