for two time today we’ll be looking at
the weird world of hallucinogens and
counting down the five strangest truths
about the scandals the science and
history of hallucinogenic drugs the
mushrooms are turning on me
I’m not your papa
number five acid tripping began on a
bicycle
on April 19th 1943
Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann was at work
examining a substance he had created
five years previously and accidentally
absorbed a small amount through his skin
that substance turned out to be LSD when
the effects of the drug became too much
he decided he needed to go home this was
during World War two though and
vehicular travel was prohibited due to
frequent bombing raids so Hofmann was
forced to ride his bicycle home while
under the influence of LSD as an feeling
of happiness I had never had before
to this day psychedelic community
celebrate April 19th as the anniversary
of the first acid trip conveniently
right before April 20th fYI the next
time for 19 and 4:20 fall on a weekend
is 2025 so mark your calendar stoners
number for the CIA had prostitutes and a
magician on staff in its LSD
mind-control Department jeesus almost
sounds like a bad episode of Archer
venting the modified Ludovico project
MKULTRA was a division of the CIA that
came to light during the 1977 Senate
Committee on Intelligence the spy agency
did experiments during the 1950s and 60s
to develop mind-control technology to
combat the Soviets and I think they are
did you laugh just because the rug seems
to be billowing pulsating these
experiments included electroshock
therapy hypnosis and secretly dosing
subjects with LSD MKULTRA owned a
brothel which it used to lure
unsuspecting perverts into drug fuelled
experiments it even had a magician on
staff to teach agents sleight of hand
techniques to surreptitiously slip acid
into drinks another experiment involved
dosing former agents with massive
amounts of LSD in hope that it would
scramble the X agents mind and destroy
any classified information he had in his
memory
talk about a lousy severance package
fortunately MKULTRA didn’t have much
success and was shut down officially in
1964
bring him by the break of day in the
right
number three you may not need to take
drugs to see your friends face melt an
Italian researcher made pairs of test
subjects stare into each other’s eyes
for 10 minutes while in a dimly lit room
he found that 90 percent of them saw
their partner’s face become disfigured
when you focus intensely on something
right in front of you things in your
periphery slowly fade away this is
called Troxler fading the researcher
believes that the hallucinations occur
when the brain tries to fill in the gaps
left by Troxler fading the brain is so
addicted to its senses that it creates
its own images when it stops receiving
information in fact you can create your
own hallucinations at home by putting
half ping-pong balls over your eyes and
listening to white noise or by staring
at a video like this long enough number
two hallucinogens may be useful for
treating addiction 500 pounds of
hallucinogenic mushrooms are taken off
the streets after a massive drug bust in
Clermont County the legal status of LSD
and magic mushrooms has put many
barriers in front of researchers Alfred
Hoffman the swiss guy who discovered LSD
called it medicine for the Soul and
hated the fact that acid couldn’t be
used clinically you may see the world in
a different way as a I mean instead you
see it as it really is wonderful the
studies that are available seem to
suggest the hallucinogens might be an
effective treatment for addiction one
meta study of LSD trials showed promise
with alcoholics another suggested that
magic mushrooms used in combination with
behavioral therapy doubled the
participant success in quitting smoking
in Peru at least one addiction center
uses the Amazonian hallucinogen
ayahuasca as part of its treatment
program and reports success rates much
higher than more conventional methods as
being sober it sucks
boy so
number one a pitcher once threw a
no-hitter while high on LSD doc Ellis
pitched a no-hitter on LSD
those who’ve taken LSD tell the others
how hard that might be in baseball a
no-hitter is just what it sounds like a
team goes the whole game without earning
a base hit it’s pretty rare happening
only about twice a year on June 12th
1970 doc Ellis threw a no-hitter while
pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates he
woke up stoned and dropped a tab of acid
thinking incorrectly that he didn’t have
a game to play that day
what happened to yesterday she’s I don’t
know but you better you better get to
that Airport
Ellis threw wildly some of the pitches
hit the dirt and some hit other players
but they got the job done at the end of
his career
Ellis claimed that he had never thrown a
game sober though most of his other
games he had played on stimulants not
understandably
on hallucinogens it’s easier to catch
with the LSD because I also used to
medicate myself that’s the way I was
dealing with the fear of failure the
fear of losing the fear of winning so
what do you think long to fool could you
hit a doc Alice curveball
