As an unwitting participant in either one of the last MKULTRA era experiments, or an independent M.D.'s "good deed for the day," I have a special relationship with LSD: I got microdosed twice a week for six weeks in 1972, and that experience went a long way toward making me whatever the fuck I am today. A few years later I thought I was taking LSD for the first time... but then came the "Hello old friend!" moment.
Woah. So do you remember, back in 1972, what you thought was happening?
And yes, that acid come on is unmistakable ;)
I was told at the time that the medication in question contained a "stimulant" and that it might make me feel "funny," but not to worry about it, it would wear off in a few hours and I would eventually get used to it. I did not so much get used to it, as start really looking forward to it. When the second batch arrived, click, nothing. No effect. Along about that time I started to question literally everything, including the nature of reality itself. I can't say the experience affected my core values - for instance I was already dead set against war, regardless of excuses offered, and got in trouble from time to time for not bothering to observe "color lines" on the playground etc. But I suspect the LSD did have a radicalizing effect, in the literal sense of that word: It directed my attention to the fundamentals that define a person's life and the structure of events in the larger world.
