LSD was created in 1938 by a scientist called Dr. Albert Hofmann. He was a scientist working in Switzerland. It was first developed as a circulatory and respiratory stimulant. In the 1940's scientists used this drug for studying mental illness. It went on the market in 1947. It was said to cure: criminal behavior, sexual perversions and alcoholism. In 1950 over 1000 new hallucinogen drugs were created. LSD was legal until the late 1960's when people reported of having 'bad trips', flashbacks and having LSD high. Scientists classified as a class A drug in the 1980's, and it is know known as one of the worst hallucinogens in the world.
