LSD's Accidental Discovery
Share
Sam Parr tells the story of how LSD was accidentally discovered by a European doctor.
"The guy was a European doctor who was trying to make some type of antibiotic - just something normal. He got a little bit of the substance in his skin, like he touched it funny, and he was like 'Oh my god this is awesome.'
Then he starts tinkering with it even more and decides to try it properly. He gives himself a huge dose and starts running home on his bicycle thinking 'nothing's happening, this didn't work.' Then all of a sudden it hits him and he has the biggest trip of his life. That discovery ended up changing everything."
