Irwin and Egozcue made the striking initial observation that chromosomal damage occurred twice as often in LSD users as it did in non-users (1967).

I arrived back at school to find out that I was expelled and was placed in a program called “Independent Studies” where I would go once a week to finish my GED.

Either way, drugs have played part in counterculture for a very long time, and it didn 't end at with the hippies. It was argued that the song ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds ', was code for the
