On September 16, 1943, the Swiss scientist Dr. Albert Hofmann discovered the psychedelic effects of LSD. He wasn’t sure at first, but when the fluorescent giraffe explained he was rowing on the wrong side of the bed, he knew he wasn’t in Kansas anymore. Since, he was in fact still in Basel, Switzerland.

That reminds me of that one time back in college when I tried Alternating Current. Man, I saw things... and heard things... that would blow your mind. And it did. I had to have my whole brain replaced. Totally worth it though. Share Twisted-History, for a psychedelic experience of your own.
