Watch What Happens When a Portrait Artist Takes LSD

These drawings were done by an artist under the influence of LSD as part of a test conducted by the US government in the late 1950's. The artist was given a dose of LSD 25 and free access to an activity box full of crayons and pencils. His subject was the medic.

Whats with all this Us and Them mentality everyone has today. just because i have made the choice to use drugs doesnt mean i hate people who dont. I completely respect their right to choose not to as i made the same choice to do them. It is the ignorance from BOTH sides that really is sad.

why r u ppl so obsessed with defending ur choice of drugs. non drug users are happy the way they are and dont wanna go to jail. just enjoy w/e ur doing. same goes for non drug users, stop fucking criticizing unless ur interested.

@paranrm it's much better to take in a nonclinical setting. :) it may seem scary...i know i was scared before my first time. i've only tried it once...but it changed my life. it's hard to describe to someone who hasn't taken it before...but imagine the most meaningful, creative, life-affirming, poignant experience you can have. it's like that. i felt more connected to nature and my own being than ever. the existence of god was achingly clear...not in a religious sense. but in a direct sense.
