Acid-Tripping Housewife can see "all the molecules" OR LSD REsearch in the 1950s


Acid-Tripping Housewife Can ‘See All the Molecules’

As every college student knows, there is almost nothing funnier than watching a person try to narrate her acid trips. Especially when that person is a housewife in the year 1956. As she says, "I can see all the molecules!"
A housewife! On acid! Oh, the incongruity! The hilarity!
Acid-expert author Don Lattin dug up this clip of drug-researching psychiatrist Sidney Cohen (here's his New York Time obituary) interviewing an unnamed middle-aged woman while she experiences her first acid trip. And, wow! What a goofball! Not that I have notebooks full of acid-trip observations. Or anything. Via Gawker
