Drogues, santé et société January 1, 2025 Frédéric Robert
The 1960s in the United States were a turbulent decade, and a key element of social, societal, and cultural transformation was the psychedelic revolution that profoundly shook California, especially the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. The psychedelic wave radically transformed California. The term psychedelic is a neologism popularized by Timothy Leary in 1961. This article explains what the psychedelic revolution truly consisted of, including the nature of LSD trips, the leading figures of psychedelism, and how LSD transformed American society and became one of the most striking elements of the 1960s counterculture.
