Synopsis:

"Alexander Fromm traces the most important stations in his knowledgeable "small cultural history" how lysergic acid diethylamide could become rocket fuel for psychonauts through a carelessness of Basel chemist Albert Hofmann. (Rolling Stone 01/2017) In April 1943, Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann discovered the mind-altering effect of the LSD. Quickly psychotherapists recognized the potential of the substance and used it to treat alcoholism and accelerate psychoanalysis. The CIA even hoped for a use as a truth serum and made countless Americans known with LSD through nationwide test series. Especially among poets, musicians and painters, the stimulation caused an increase in creativity. Through the hippies, "Acid" became a youth and fashion drug - yes, it only shaped the Sixties as their own era. The Beatles transformed under LSD to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Robert Crumb invented the underground comic and alternative film narratives like Easy Rider founded New Hollywood. After a worldwide ban, the super drug disappeared in the underground and played hardly any role for a long time. Currently, however, a renaissance is suggested as an aid in psychotherapy. With LSD, the fears of death of terminal cancer patients can be treated as well as depression and drug addictions. "There is hardly any other active ingredient of such far-reaching cultural and societal influence as lysergic acid diethylamide - LSD. Psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioural researchers, theologians, philosophers, painters, writers and musicians used the mind-altering drug that has not lost its meaning to this day." (Prof. Dr. . Peter Nuhn, Pharmaceutical Newspaper)
