Drug scene described LSD 'closest thing to insanity'
The speaker Capt. Carl Kirk from Southern Illinois University described LSD as odorless, colorless and tasteless, produced in clandestine labs, and the closest thing to insanity. He warned about rapid, vivid effects, possible harm to embryos, and quoted high prices per pill, noting police search limits and two to three drug purchases for informants. He cited cases of harm, including a youth who went berserk after a moonlit moment with God and described the dangers of LSD and speed.
