LSD




Some people always thought the the psychedelic designs of the 60's and the big fancy font was so radical and cool, which they are but after reading more about LSD and its effects it became clearer as to why they looked so cool. In the 60's was, to me at least, one of the most accepted drugs by adolescence at the time. It blows my mind as to how and why the law enforcement would just allow these people to hold "acid parties", which was based around LSD in kool-aid and bands playing. I didn't know much about LSD and its effects so I looked it up online and it explain a lot. LSD can take your perspective of life and flip it. Sometimes the 'trip' can make the colors of your vision blur together and sometimes give the effect that everything is distorted or just mushing together. When you look at the graphics from back then you can see how colors are all swirled together and everything is just kind of one big blob, which you can imagine is how these hippies see life when most of the time they were on LSD trips. I'm still surprised that it took until 1966 for it to actually become illegal. What as lo surprised me is the fact that the Beatles did LSD. Its like LSD was an outlet for people compared to what women feel about shopping today. It provides this high that feels so good at the time but once its all over, you're just really left with nothing but materialistic things that really mean nothing. LSD's after effect would just be the fact of being back to reality.
