just kidding, albert hoffman was the first person to experience LSD. he created it in the 1940s using science. he accidentally absorbed some into his skin, then he left his lab and rode his bike home tripping balls. it's a pretty famous bike ride, actually. you can read all this crap on wikipedia if you look up albert hoffman, so you should probably go there if you don't believe me.
On November 16th, 1938, Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman accidentally synthesized LSD while experimenting with the ergot fungus that grows on rye. Later after accidently ingesting some of the LSD through his finger tips, and noticing some bizarre intoxicating effects, Hoffman synthesized more LSD to experiment with. Shortly after Hoffmans first queer expirience, he intentionally ingested what he considered a small dose of LSD-25 and rode his bicycle home. From the time this bike ride began to his home where he later stated he felt as though he'd "truly gone mad..", Hoffman expierienced history's first recorded acid trip.
