Documents on Al Hubbard
The "Johnny Appleseed of LSD"

For such a pivotal character in recent history, Al
Hubbard is remarkably little known. He is the unsung
man who almost single-handedly introduced the world to
LSD, as well as (to a lesser degree) mescaline and
psilocybin. Albert Hoffman may have invented LSD, but
Hubbard is the one who, in the very early years, gave
it away like candy to some of the most influential
people on the planet.

A true cipher, Hubbard was visionary, eccentric,
friendly, and mysterious. At various times, he was an
intelligence agent, an inventor, a millionaire, a
clinical therapist, and more. There appear to be links
between Hubbard and MKULTRA, the CIA program that
researched behavior modification using LSD and other
substances and techniques.

The definitive article on Hubbard is "The Original
Captain Trips" by Todd Brendan Fahey, who also wrote a
novel (Wisdom's Maw) that prominently features
Hubbard. While researching Hubbard, Todd was given
access to a cache of primary documents about the "acid
messiah." This material has never been seen publicly
until now. Todd has scanned these rare, one-of-a-kind
documents and graciously sent them to us for posting.
