The left-hand side is Jefferson Airplane song 'White Rabbit'. On the right side of the 'gram we have some historical background leading up to the classic that is the left-hand side. You will need to add your own bright colours, swirling patterns, and what-not.
WHITE RABBIT -- Jefferson Airplane One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said: "Feed your head Feed your head Feed your head"
Folk in olden days knew well that psychedelia held huge power both in
religion and to heal. Many used fly agaric, mescaline,
high-harmala-alkaloid plants, the holy kava kava, or Sikh bhang.
One bike 'trip' for Albert Hoffman heralded a more enlightened age:
- Doctors now had a valuable tool to help quell alcohol use.
- Freudians found a new hokey way to unhide repressed human memory.
- Mental hospitals (who had not informed subjects on side effects)
handed out LSD every week.
The Fifties saw novel CIA projects like MK-ULTRA try LSD on unaware
humans. UK state agents who wanted to use LSD in war OKed
'Operation Moneybags', leading to much giggling among young soldiers.
How hairy youths enjoyed the high! (I'm one.)
