These 9 drawings were done by an artist under the influence of LSD -- part of a test conducted by the US government during it's dalliance with psychotomimetic drugs 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 is the medico that jabbed him.




First drawing is done 20 minutes after the first dose (50ug)

An attending doctor observes - Patient chooses to start drawing with charcoal.

The subject of the experiment reports - 'Condition normal... no effect from the drug yet'.

85 minutes after first dose and 20 minutes after a second dose has been administered (50ug + 50ug)

The patient seems euphoric.

'I can see you clearly, so clearly. This... you... it's all ... I'm having a little trouble controlling this pencil. It seems to want to keep going.'

2 hours 30 minutes after first dose.

Patient appears very focus on the business of drawing.

'Outlines seem normal, but very vivid - everything is changing colour. My hand must follow the bold sweep of the lines. I feel as if my consciousness is situated in the part of my body that's now active - my hand, my elbow... my tongue'.

2 hours 32 minutes after first dose.

Patient seems gripped by his pad of paper.

'I'm trying another drawing. The outlines of the model are normal, but now those of my drawing are not. The outline of my hand is going weird too. It's not a very good drawing is it? I give up - I'll try again...'

2 hours 35 minutes after first dose.

Patient follows quickly with another drawing.

'I'll do a drawing in one flourish... without stopping... one line, no break!'

Upon completing the drawing the patient starts laughing, then becomes startled by something on the floor.

2 hours 45 minutes after first dose.

Patient tries to climb into activity box, and is generally agitated - responds slowly to the suggestion he might like to draw some more. He has become largely none verbal.

'I am... everything is... changed... they're calling... your face... interwoven... who is...' Patient mumbles inaudibly to a tune (sounds like 'Thanks for the memory). He changes medium to Tempera.

4 hours 25 minutes after first dose.

Patient retreated to the bunk, spending approximately 2 hours lying, waving his hands in the air. His return to the activity box is sudden and deliberate, changing media to pen and water colour.

'This will be the best drawing, Like the first one, only better. If I'm not careful I'll lose control of my movements, but I won't, because I know. I know' - (this saying is then repeated many times).

Patient makes the last half-a-dozen strokes of the drawing while running back and forth across the room.

5 hours 45 minutes after first dose.

Patient continues to move about the room, intersecting the space in complex variations. It's an hour and a half before he settles down to draw again - he appears over the effects of the drug.

'I can feel my knees again, I think it's starting to wear off. This is a pretty good drawing - this pencil is mighty hard to hold' - (he is holding a crayon).

8 hours after first dose.

Patient sits on bunk bed. He reports the intoxication has worn off except for the occational distorting of our faces. We ask for a final drawing which he performs with little enthusiasm.

'I have nothing to say about this last drawing, it is bad and uninteresting, I want to go home now.'

Esham was on acid when he wrote these fucked up lyrics...

Get My Head Together Lyrics

I hear voices in my head
My head hears voies
So many choices
I'm coming down off a bad trip
And I'm sick of the bullshit
It ain't my fault
It's all my fault
Who's fault is it
It doesn't matter
Can you understand
I live the life of a mad man
I'm a psycho
Suicidal
Not Michael
Like a motorcycle
I can't understand myself
Man I need help
Who am I
Am I
Who you though I was
It's not too bad cause
I ain't trippin'
Naw I'm trippin'
Cause yall be trippin'
You don't know me
How you goin' know me
When I don't know me
I try to get to know myself
Self knowledge and tell myself
They're all gonna laugh at me
I gotta get my head together
It's the new style
I gotta get my head straight
I'm loosin' my mind
I'm giving you a peice of my mind
I got something on my mind
One time but hey nevermind
I'm loosin' my sense
I got no sence
No nonsense
More dollars than cents
Since I'm dyin'
The world may never know if I'm lyin'
Lying in my grave
Hey I think I need a shave
What's my name
Who stole my brain
Who should I blame
Blame it on the boogie
Blame it on the rain
I can feel your pain
I'ma say
Hey I forgot what I'ma say
Who, What, When, Where, Why, How
I gotta get my head together
I gotta get my head together
I gotta get my head together
I gotta get my head together
I gotta get my head together
I gotta get it straight
I gotta get it straight
I can't really wait
I can't really wait for my mind
Make up my mind
I'm loosin' my mind
So do you mind
I don't mind
If you don't mind
Cause what's yours is mine
But I need my own
You know what I'm sayin' holmes
You don't know
Cause I don't know
So, kick that hey
My name's Esham
Slit your wrist
Drink a orange juice
Hellalujah
Suck my dick
What's it to ya
I'm from no where
I'm commin' straight outta' no where
And goin' no where
More broke more broke
More coke for the fiends to smoke
Come get me
Lock me up
I don't give a fuck
I gotta get my head together
Man I'm back
I'm the black devil
And it that aint no joke
What's up
Who's playin that beat
I'm commin' through in the back seat
Cheap shots
Cheap tricks
But you can suck on my toe
Hey ho you know
That I'm the black bro
I still don't know where I come from
Lick my balls 'till my dick's numb
Dum ditty dum ditty dum dum
Redrum
I feel like a redrum
E-S-H-A-M
Why I'm talkin' 'bout him
Is that me
You can't see what I can see
Man whatever
I gotta get my head together
If buttholes were peep shows and the nigs
And the window of the soul
Of this fucking ridiculous world
Analities got nothing on the worlds
Except a signed royality check
Forged signature
The toilet swipe
The maggot acid smile
The glitch in the universal way, yeah
A real boss abortion to brag about at your next BBQ

Within the last few months, ROLLING STONE put out the 500 Best CD's of All Time list, and for the top 10, the Beatles were at #1,3,5, and 10. All of these cds were done when they were experimenting HEAVILY with LSD.

I've never used LSD, but with facts like that ^^ and those pics you put up, im very intregued (sp?)
