Persons of note - Psychedelic drugs

Seeing as I am not specialising in any specific area of Timothy Learys life and im taking a more broad approach, I feel that at the best thing for me to now is to research further into Psychedelic drugs.

 Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (Acid) is created by Albert Hoffmann is one of the worlds most powerful hallucinogenic drugs knows for its abilities to create dramatic psychological effects which include altered thinking processes, widened perspectives on reality, distorted visuals eyes opened and closed, a complete altered sense of time and can even induce spiritual experiences for some users. People have claimed that taking LSD has completely changed there perspective of life.
LSD is a liquid based formula but is soaked into blotted paper so the user can have controlled doses. These individual pieces of paper are known as acid tabs.

To ingest the LSD the user must let the piece of paper rest on the tongue for a short while and then finally swallowing the paper, then 1 to 2 hours later. It begins.
Note: The purest and cleanest acid will be completely tasteless on the tongue so if you can taste it, it may not be LSD or the chemical structure of the compound may have slightly changed due to temperature change. This can also have an effect on the trip.


Psilocin or Psilocybin is the chemical compound which is found in psychedelic mushrooms and truffles. They do have similar effects to that of LSD but is slightly different and is way less intense. Mushrooms and truffles can give users a great sense of euphoria and a deeper connection to the world around you. These mushrooms actually grown in many parts of the world and are completely natural. maybe one day they will be legalised and considered more for people who suffer from mental issues such as depression and anxiety. Mushrooms and truffles have helped many people in the past over come these kinds of mental illnesses.




LSD and psychedelic drugs have inspired artwork across the world for many years. especially in the 60s for LSD. 
 luke brown is a great artist who creates these big spiritual ad trippy paintings that have been influenced by psychedelic drugs. If a person can take these drugs and use them to help improve there creativity, anything can happen. The mind is opened up to more of what the universe has to offer, if only for a short period of time.

Note: There are other psychedelic drugs such as Ayahuasca(DMT), Mescaline, Ibogaine, Salvia, 2CB and others that have all kinds of effects that effect different areas of the brain but because timothy leary didnt mention them I will not research further into these drugs although I would recommend researching Dimethyltryptamine (DMT/Ayahuasca) it is incredibly interesting.
