Uncover the mind-bending history of LSD in this episode of The Launchpad Podcast!
From ancient ergot rituals in Greece’s Eleusinian Mysteries to Aztec morning glory seed ceremonies, we explore how LSD isn’t a modern invention but a rediscovered tool.
Dive into the 1960s counterculture with the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, the “Hippie Mafia,” and their LSD churches, plus the global underground spread to Asia and Africa. Learn how LSD’s hormonal effects (cortisol, oxytocin, dopamine) shape its psychedelic power and why it lags in research compared to psilocybin and MDMA.
Perfect for psychonauts, history buffs, and festival fans!
