Stinkin' historical facts ... thought I was on to something there. 

 

A bit more of a stretch to compare LSD as a sacrament to stamps as sacrament-like?

 

A history of LSD from Erowid attributes an LSD/sacrament connection to Leary, 1966: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_timeline.php 

 

(I think Robin previously provided this link but I failed to read it.)
