Ralph Metzner quotes:

The first note in that octave [of our cultural transformation], the do, was the discovery of LSD by Albert Hofmann in 1943.

Just as Hitler used the Reichstag burning, the U.S. government now uses the so-called two wars, the War on Drugs and the War on Terrorism, to fuel fear in the population and establish a police security state.

I believe it's true to say that everyone who has experienced LSD or another psychedelic would look on that experience, especially the first one, as a major life-changing event.

The introduction of LSD and psychedelics into the culture produced a transformation of the entire culture, the consciousness of the culture.

The LSD experience usually changes forever the worldview and basic life-orientation of all who experience it
