This wouldn't hurt either: From This Moment On (http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/whatson/prog_parse.cgi?FILENAME=20050330/20050330_2330_49700_20873_30) BBC Radio 4 FM Wed 30 Mar, 23:30 - 00:00 30 mins
The First Trip
In 1943 a Swiss scientist called Albert Hoffman was working on a substance called D-lysergic acid diethylamide that he'd first synthesized in his laboratory five years earlier. It was then, that, as he puts it, "I accidentally intoxicated myself." This moment was the first LSD "trip". The drug changed the scientist's state of mind, and was to go on to change everything from music to social mores when its use became widespread in the 1960s.
When he was on his `trip? Albert Hoffman thought he was dying. Sixty years on there are those who claim that LSD provides an unequalled insight into living. In the programme, Doctor Susan Blackmore, the respected psychologist and broadcaster, talks about her use of LSD in the early 1970s
