The Rise and Fall of LSD

LSD (or its full name: lysergic acid diethylamide) is a potent hallucinogen that dramatically alters your thoughts and your perception of reality.37 It was discovered in 1938 in a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. LSD has a high potential for abuse.

Made in 1986 for BBC television, The Beyond Within explores the rise and fall of LSD. Here it is in its entirety.

The Beyond Within is a well-balanced two part documentary on LSD featuring Albert Hoffman, Ken Kesey and British politician Christopher Mayhew.

While the entire documentary is filled with absorbing insights, The Mayhew segment is particularly fascinating.
