Lawrence Schiller, black-and-white photograph, San Francisco, 1966. Although famous for phrases such as \u201cTurn on, tune in, drop out,\u201d Dr. Timothy Leary\u2019s research was academic rather than recreational, and focused on LSD\u2019s psychiatric and spiritual benefits.

Ted Streshinsky, color photograph, 1966.

Acid Test handbill, ca. 1966. Before the advent of music festivals and large outdoor counterculture gatherings, the recreational use of LSD was low profile and generally limited to small groups of friends in intimate settings or quiet, natural environments. It was also still entirely legal across the U.S. But all that was about to change when the antics of the Merry Pranksters\u2019 exploding use of the drug hit the mainstream press. LSD was criminalized in California on October 6, 1966. The rest of the nation soon followed. Copyright: Courtesy the Richard Synchef Archive.<\/p><\/div>

Lawrence Schiller, black-and-white photograph, Hollywood, 1966. A first-timer in the throes of a bad trip. \u201cI experienced the desire to die, but not actual death,\u201d she later said, \u201cvery strongly the desire to rip my skin off and pull my hair out and pull my face off.\u201d As the first national photojournalist to capture the American acid scene from the inside, Lawrence Schiller began with a single contact in Berkeley, California, and built a large network of young, receptive subjects who allowed him to document their private experiences with LSD.
