Graphic history of the first LSD trip, brain drugs, Blomèrth, and Bicycle Day shown in Guardian photo gallery

LSD imagery and early psychedelic culture are presented through a Guardian art and design photo gallery. The gallery traces how LSD entered visual culture by revisiting depictions tied to the first LSD trip and subsequent “brain drugs” themes. It also highlights specific psychedelic references such as Blomèrth and Bicycle Day, using photographs to connect underground drug scenes with broader graphic and design history. Overall, the selection frames psychedelics as a cultural and aesthetic force, not just a medical or chemical story, showing how artists and media helped circulate LSD experiences and related counterculture symbols.
