Usage Note: Native American is now fully established in American English as an equivalent of Indian, being acceptable in all contemporary contexts and preferred in many. It is especially appropriate as a term of respect used by outsiders, who may have concerns that Indian could cause offense by its association with longstanding cultural stereotypes.
In Basel, Switzerland, Albert Hoffman, a Swiss chemist working at the Sandoz pharmaceutical research laboratory, accidentally consumes LSD-25, a synthetic drug he had created in 1938 as part of his research into the medicinal value of lysergic acid compounds.
LSD was popularized in the 1960s by individuals such as psychologist Timothy Leary, who encouraged American students to âturn on, tune in, and drop out.â This created an entire counterculture of drug abuse and spread the drug from America to the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe.
