LSD in New York: Research, Recreation and Radicalism

American History Hit

Why should we associate LSD and its psychedelic effects with New York as much as we associate it with San Francisco? What use did the CIA think that this drug could be to them? And how did LSD impact the culture of New York City?


Don is joined by Christian Elcock, author of Psychedelic New York: A History of LSD in the City to find out about New York's time as a hub of LSD production, research and consumption.


Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Siobhan Dale. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
