WI LSD during the Roaring Twenties

Hmmmmmmmmmm....
This could drastically alter H.P. Lovecraft's stories. He did have a fear of non-euclidean things. IOTL and OTOH, Frank Belknap Long had a Lovecraft-inspired character in his "The Hounds of Tindalos" taking "hashish, opium, all manner of drugs" in his mystic researches into time, aided and abetted by some formulae of Einstein.

And, lest we forget, Aleister Crowley was already a druggie, and he experimented with numerous drugs- he even paid Parke-Davis to send him an extract of Peyote IOTL...
 
Better yet, how about PCP during the turn of the century? TR would win in 1912 by ripping Wilson's face off. :D

LSD in the 20's would be awesome. You could probably see marijuana being legalized pretty early. And I don't know if this is a good idea but absinthe + lsd = omg crow in wonderland.:D:D

Alcohol and LSD works fine together, although they don't really affect their mutual intoxications. You just trip and get drunk at the same time.

I doubt it. In order for LSD to even be viable as something a lot of people take up in the 1920s, it has to be distinguished from "drugs", as the drug prohibition movement was already in full swing by then. Marijuana, though only made illegal federally in 1937, was already being demonized and illegalized on a state by state basis starting at the end of the 1910s, and in the 20s most states had powerful citizen's groups lobbying the government to fight the "drug menace".

What I'm saying is that, even if LSD becomes popular, it will likely be distinguished from the other, "bad" drugs in the same way that methamphetamine was throughout the 40s and 50s (when it could be bought over the counter in inhalers and had absolutely no stigma surrounding use). Thus, while dropping some LSD crystals into your drink and having a casual discussion with Jesus over tea and biscuits could be considered socially acceptable, it's still probable that marijuana users would be demonized much as OTL until society begins to liberalize in the way it did during the 1960s.

Absinthe is a highly potent alcohol that gives you a very lucid drunkingness so added with LSD and presumbably wormwood. You would probably have one of the most intense trips ever. And on marijuana as you said if LSD was to be widely used and distinguished as a non-bad drug. Then most likely people would differentiate marijuana in that category as well. More people would probably be like whoa whoa we been growing this shit since before your government was in control fuck you I'm keeping my HEMP, go take your LSD and open your mind smoke a j why you add it. lol

I am more than familiar with absinthe and its effects, thank you very much. It is highly overrated. It is just booze. The wormwood does nothing at all, just add taste. The amounts of thujone are just too small, and even then wormwood doesn't make you hallucinate or anything. It makes you convulse and die.

Now, if you want intense, try LSD, marijuana and nitrous monoxide.
