Abstract
This article takes a fresh look at the history of intoxicants from a historical and cultural studies perspective. It focuses in particular on the experimental use of LSD in the first half of the 20th century and examines sensory and spatial perceptions under the influence of the drug, as well as how these ‘hallucinated’ – subjective – spatial perceptions are written down in autobiographical sources and first-person documents. This builds a cross-disciplinary bridge to literature but also to the history of medicine and psychiatry and not least to drug and addiction research.
