Jonathan Aitken : Yes, everyone's favourite disgraced former Conservative MP experienced "visions of hell. Continents dripping with blood. Black men fighting brown men, fighting yellow men." The usual Tory fantasies.
Dr Kary Mullis : Nobel Prize Winner for Chemistry in 1993 and inventor of PCR, a method for detecting even the smallest amount of DNA in ancient materials. "Would I have invented PCR if I hadn't taken LSD? I seriously doubt it," he says. "I could sit on a DNA molecule and watch the polymers go by. I learnt that partly on psychedelic drugs."
Anais Nin : The famous French writer: "The music vibrated through my body as if I were one of the instruments and I felt myself becoming a full percussion orchestra, becoming green, blue, orange. The waves of the sounds ran through my hair like a caress." Yes, thank you.
Ken Kesey : Author of 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' (written on mescaline when he worked as a night shift hospital porter). Formed The Pranksters, a chaotic bunch of drop-outs who toured America in a bright green bus, taking acid and holding huge festival-like 'Acid Tests' with music and lights.
Timothy Leary : What a surprise to find this boy here. The former Harvard psychologist near single-handedly evangelised the use of LSD in the 60s to "turn on, tune in, and drop out".
Aldous Huxley : The author of Brave New World experimented with LSD and other psychedelic substances (his essay The Doors Of Perception details an awe-inspiring mescaline experience). Was injected with LSD as he died.
Alex Grey : Artist specializing in spiritual and psychedelic art. He has spoken openly about his LSD use.
Peter Max : Pop artist whose work has reflected the aesthetic of LSD use.
