My First Acid Trip (LSD) | Animated Trip Report

Albert Hofmann, a researcher with the Swiss chemical company Sandoz, first developed lysergic acid diethylamide or LSD in 1938. He was working with a chemical found in ergot, a fungus that grows naturally on rye and other grains.

Hofmann didn’t discover the drug’s hallucinogenic effects until 1943 when he accidentally ingested a small amount and perceived “extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors.”

Three days later, on April 19, 1943, he took a larger dose of the drug. As Hofmann rode home from work on his bicycle—World War II restrictions made automobile travel off-limits—he experienced the world’s first intentional acid trip.

LSD can catalyze intense spiritual experiences and is thus considered an entheogen. Users sometimes report out of body experiences.

In 1966, Timothy Leary established the League for Spiritual Discovery with LSD as its sacrament. Stanislav Grof has written that religious and mystical experiences observed during LSD sessions appear to be phenomenologically indistinguishable from similar descriptions in the sacred scriptures of the great religions of the world and the texts of ancient civilizations.
-
LSD currently has no approved uses in medicine. A meta analysis concluded that a single dose was effective at reducing alcohol consumption in alcoholism. LSD has also been studied in depression, anxiety, and drug dependence, with positive preliminary results.

Can honestly say this is one of -if not- the most well worded and graphically depicted trip report I have ever experienced. You have earned yourself a new subscriber!

[damesters]

The way you describe your trip was the best depiction of a trip I've ever heard

[prodleas]

This video is the best description of an acid trip ive seen in my life

[krosmo]

Amazing stuff. I just wish there was another 15 minutes of this.

[erth]

One of the most accurate representation of LSD trip not by just visuals but also the information is spot on. When you said you felt peace while watching trees I couldn't be agree more before my first trip in my whole life I've never felt so much happiness just watching trees move in the wind. Nice video 👍👍

[Saruwomi]

Your animation is awesome, and the way how you explain the history was incredible

[FUTUREMUSICK]

[xbulelo]

I feel like the “feeling of unity” & “connection with nature” is induced as if psychedelics encourage this feeling. Great video.
