You're right about the LSD. However, Berkeley is responsible for a much 
more potent mind-fuck drug, Angel Dust. Actually, it was two researchers 
working with corpses who discovered Angel Dust. Apparantly one of them 
touched the cadaver and then, by accident, touched his finger to his 
mouth without washing it. He started hallucinating rather quickly. After 
all the fuss died down, they got curious, to say the least, and started 
exploring what had happened. It turns out that an enbalmed body has a 
faint layer of dust that develops on it. That dust is the Angel Dust. 
HEnce the name "Angel Dust". The drug PCP adapted the name long 
afterward, probably by some street dealers who where asked to supply some 
'Dust, but couldn't come up with the real thing so they subsstituted 
whatever crap they had on hand.
