In the 60's and 70's drugs were a keen interest amoungst people and many artist used it. Through pop culture many pop artist were Explicitly on Herion a lot. Many artist died from too much use. At this time people used to develop screen test which were videos watching people as they took drugs and seeing the affects and usually adding music to it. If you took herion you are numb and not worried about the past or the future. It removes the pain and pleasure when on it and when they come off it everything tastes horrible or they become very cold. Therefore people become addicted becasue they have to keep taking it to take away the feeling of being in pain or being cold. Which makes it harder to come off it. LSD controls different parts of the brain, it turns off perception and short term memory. This Links to Tom Wolfe book about being on LSD. This time is most usually known as the hippy movement- magic bus and flowers etc. LSD also cause haulisinations and creating the feeling that there is a back smoke hovering around.
