Not a myth. Plenty of information available about it online and in books. Look up Timothy Leary who was a pioneer of LSD use.


Or, better, read Be Here Now. I recommend it every chance I get: never have had a friend who's disliked it. It has a few anecdotes on Leary, and it's probably influenced Atkinson far more than Leary has (Jobs recommended it a bunch, and, in his own (paraphrased) words, there once was a time where every college student in America had read Be Here Now).
