LSD was first synthesised by the Swiss chemist Albert
Hofmann in the Sandoz (now Novartis) laboratories in
1938. The laboratory had undertaken a research
program aimed at isolating the active constituents of
medicinal plants so that they could be produced in
the laboratory and later precisely dosed for accurate
administration to patients. Dr. Hofmann eventually
began researching the ergot fungus and alkaloids
which could be derived from it. Ergot was
traditionally used by midwives as an ecbolic, a
medication used to induce childbirth, and early 20th
century research indicated that the various
compounds in ergot had other effects on the body
as well, prompting further research.
Rock paintings in the Sahara of mushroom effigies date
back to 7000 BC. Some scholars believe that Soma, the
drink mentioned in Vedic literature, was derived from
magic mushrooms. Albert Hofmann and Carl Ruck
contend that the Eleusinian Mysteries made use of magic
mushrooms.
 S. Odman, in 1784, first suggested that Nordic Vikings used
fly-agaric (Amanita muscaria) to produce their berserk
rages. Supposedly, the Norse took these mushrooms so
that the effect came on during the heat of battle or while
at work. During the berserk rage they performed deeds
which otherwise were impossible. The rage started with
shivering, chattering of the teeth, and a chill. Their faces
became swollen and changed color. A great rage
developed in which they howled like wild animals and cut
down anyone in their way, friend or foe alike. Afterward
their mind became dulled and feeble for several days.

Some historians believe that magic mushrooms may have
been used as far back as 9000 B.C. in North African
indigenous cultures, based on representations in rock
paintings. Statues and other representatives of what
appear to be mushrooms that have been found in Mayan
and Aztec ruins in Central America. The Aztecs used a
substance called teonanácatl, which means "flesh of the
gods," that many believe was magic mushrooms. Along
with peyote, morning glory seeds and other naturally
occurring psychotropics, the mushrooms were used to
induce a trance, produce visions and communicate with
the gods. When Spanish Catholic missionary priests came
to the New World in the 16th century, some of them wrote
about the use of these psychotropic substances.
