Abstract
When Albert Hofmann created lsd 25 during experimentation in his laboratory, he had no idea what was to become of it, or what kind of an impact it would have. "Dr. Humphry Osmond invented the term 'psychodelic', which was later amended to 'psychedelic to get rid of the nuthouse connotation of 'psycho'." (Wolfe 39). This term encompasses a whole generation, a cultural revolution that took place during the 60's. Since its creation, lsd, among other psychedelics, has had a great impact on the American culture.
