LSD, short for Lysergic acid diethylamide, is one of the biggest influences of the 60’s Cultural Revolution. Most of the music of the 60’s was created under the influence of LSD. It ushered in an era of ‘spiritual awakening’ and helped create a sense of freedom and utopia. LSD was first created by Albert Hoffman, who discovered its psychedelic after accidentally absorbing a small amount through his fingertips in the laboratory.
