I was told at the time that the medication in question contained a "stimulant" and that it might make me feel "funny," but not to worry about it, it would wear off in a few hours and I would eventually get used to it. I did not so much get used to it, as start really looking forward to it. When the second batch arrived, click, nothing. No effect. Along about that time I started to question literally everything, including the nature of reality itself. I can't say the experience affected my core values - for instance I was already dead set against war, regardless of excuses offered, and got in trouble from time to time for not bothering to observe "color lines" on the playground etc. But I suspect the LSD did have a radicalizing effect, in the literal sense of that word: It directed my attention to the fundamentals that define a person's life and the structure of events in the larger world.
