  • 1968:  Time Magazine publishes short article in Drugs section entitled "Another LSD Hallucination"




Quote:

There is no doubt that LSD can have severe and harmful effects on the minds of those who take it. Last week not LSD but the fear of the potent hallucinogen caused such severe disturbance in the mind of a respected state official that he was involved in a weird deception.

The story, leaked from Washington, was that in springtime six juniors at a college in western Pennsylvania had gone to a grassy knoll near the campus, taken LSD, and remained for hours, staring wide-eyed into the sun. As a result, their retinas were so badly burned that all six became totally blind. Authority for the story was Norman M. Yoder, 53, commissioner of the Office for the Blind in Pennsylvania's Department of Public Welfare. He stood by it after his informal report to Washington got out. A state senator and Governor Raymond P. Shafer backed it up at news conferences. The six, said Yoder, were all getting state aid.

But ophthalmologists doubted that even LSD could wipe out the eye-closing reflexes so completely. The attorney general found that "records" of the "cases" in Yoder's office were defective. Then it developed that Yoder, who has been 90% blind since child hood from a sand-lot baseball injury, had fabricated the story to drive home the dangers of LSD. Suspended from his post, "distraught and sick," Yoder had himself admitted to the Philadelphia Psychiatric Center.

  • 1986:  6 people arrested for 100 grams of LSD




Quote:

Tuesday, Jan. 28, 1986

Suspects named in LSD-sales case

SANTA CRUZ — The county narcotics team has identified the five people arrested over the weekend in what has been called one of the most significant LSD busts in Northern California.

  Among those arrested were Franklyn Kennety Key, 21, and Lisabeth Lynne Barron, 22, who listed their residences as the Black-burn Motel on Center Street, and Jeffrey Thomas Smith, 27, a transient agents said had been living in the Davenport area.

  Also arrested were David Hodul, 40, a transient, and Josh Alan Duberman, 32, of Berkeley.

  An additional suspect, Ethan Haberstroh, is in custody in Santa Cruz County Jail. Agents said it was their contact with Haberstroh that eventually led to the LSD lab in Richmond during the weekend.

  C-Net agents said they found enough crystalline LSD at that lab to make two million doses of the hallucinogenic drug.

  Agents said that for many years, intelligence information has shown that the major suppliers of LSD for Santa Cruz were centered in the Berkeley area.

  Agents said they first arrested Haberstroh in April 1985 and he was subsequently sentenced to state prison for selling LSD. While awaiting sentencing, Haberstroh continued to sell the drug in San Lorenzo Park. agents allege. They said they made two purchases from him in August 1985.

  Then last Thursday, an under-cover agent from the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement purchased 2,000 "hits" of LSD from Haberstroh, Key, Smith and Barron in San Lorenzo Park, said reports.

  Agents allege that the suspects offered to sell the agent 100,000 units of LSD, but said the sale would have to be made in Berkeley.

  Friday afternoon, the agent again met with Key and Smith in the park and negotiated to purchase as many as 300,000 units that night in Berkeley. said reports.

  C-Net agents followed Key, Smith and Barron to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where the group was joined by Hodul.

  From there, the four suspects drove to a restaurant in Berkeley to meet with the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement agent.

  C-Net agents said the purchase of the 300,000 units was arranged at that meeting.

  Hodul was followed to an apartment in Berkeley, where he allegedly obtained the first 100,000 units and took them to the agent who was waiting at the North Berkeley BART station.

  Hodul was arrested at the BART station. Key, Smith and Barron were arrested nearby. They were waiting in a vehicle for Hodul and the agent to return.

  Agents then went to the Berkeley apartment where they earlier had followed Hodul and arrested the occupant, Duberman.

  At about 3 a.m. Sunday [which was January 26, 1986], agents obtained a warrant from a Berkeley judge to search the apartment, where they said they found 100 grams of crystalline LSD. The 100 grams could produce more than two million units of LSD, said reports. Individual units sell for from $1 to $5 on the street in Santa Cruz.

  Agents said they then obtained a warrant to search Duberman's business, Liquid Light Laboratories, in Richmond. There, agents said, they found chemical samples and formulas along with a large quantity of glass bottles and vials similar to the ones containing LSD that were found in Duberman's apartment.

  C-Net agents said initial charges against the suspects are pending by the Alameda County District Attorney's office. Agents said ultimate prosecution could be in either Alameda or Santa Cruz counties. The suspects also could be indictment by the federal grand jury.

  Haberstroh is due to be sentenced on local LSD sales charges on Feb. 21.

lol that picture is so funny

honestly where do you find all this information for these posts?

i read your daily posts as well as like veggies in the news section everyday....where do you guys find all these articles?

i feel like they're purposefully kept away from the publics eye because then the eye would be opened to marijuana legalization around the same country they live in and would demand the same for their own state.

anyway i appreciate not being kept in isolation in part because of you and veggie and others.

I'm glad you find them useful.  As for where I find them, well, everywhere I suppose.  I just run across things like this just by doing research on the net.  Just a lot of digging.  I'm sure you saw that this particular article is from time.com.

LOL yeah I had a few articles about this story of the kids 'blinding' themselves.

1/19/1968 - Story of Six Students Blinded by LSD is a Hoax - Adirondack Daily Enterprise


1/19/1968 - LSD Blinding Story Turns Out to be Hoax - Plattsburgh Press Republican



Might as well add these guys here too... Haven't posted them yet. They aren't from 1/26 either but it is three articles from the same paper in January 4th through the 6th, 1966. All part of a series called The Truth About the 'Truth Drug' by the North Tonawanda News(NY).

The title of the second article is totally ridiculous lol. They are far too long to transcribe but the quality is quite good on it's own.

North Tonawanda News - Jan 4, 1966 - Mental Attitude of Patient Key to Use Of LSD; Helps Some, Hurts Others


North Tonawanda News - Jan 5, 1966 - 'Cool Cats' on Lower Easy Side of NY Get 'Far-Out Kicks' From Using LSD


North Tonawanda News - Jan 6, 1966 - Happy Philosophers Go Into Rapture Over How LSD Can Bring 'Freedom'

I still hear this false story occasionally from relatives as an example of the dangers of drugs. Usually during alcohol-fueled family gatherings. XD I love these posts by the way. :thumbup:

:wink: 

People still say that some guys went blind from staring at the sun on LSD?  I've never heard that.  I assumed it was one of those myths that died out a long time ago.

To be fair, these are the same relatives who are circulating the same provably false chain e-mails since like 2002.:rolleyes:

45th anniversary of this article today.  I love the story.  Hilarious.  Guy loses his job for starting a hoax which exaggerated the dangers of LSD.  Classic.

First of all that image is sexy as hell.

Secondly thank you always for these stories and bumps learyfan.

The conspiracy theorist in me has to say something about this story. The guy who made up the story about the kids going blind, did he just come up with the story and start pushing it to the public all on his own? Or was some government spooks pushing him to do this to further their agenda? Did he really check himself into a mental hospital? Or did they check him in as a way to hide him after the whole story was busted wide open and exposed as a lie?

Also he would become further discredited after being 'in the loony bin'. If he tried to say it was some spooks that made him tell the lie, people would just think he's another crazy person talking about the CIA.

The 60s were a wierd time in psychedelic history.

Supachopped, I don't believe that this particular incident was a conspiracy, but your theory makes perfect sense.  I could definitely see some government agency hiring someone to make up a story like this to manipulate public thought.  And you're right, Yoder's mental hospital stay would be the perfect alibi, were he to spill the beans as to who he did it for.  Good thinking. 

:cool:
