LSD can catalyze intense spiritual experiences and is thus considered an entheogen. Some users have reported out of body experiences. LSD is also capable of occasioning mystical experiences and ego dissolution, albeit less frequently than compounds such as psilocybin. In 1966, Timothy Leary established the League for Spiritual Discovery with LSD as its sacrament. Stanislav Grof has written that religious and mystical experiences observed during LSD sessions appear to be phenomenologically indistinguishable from similar descriptions in the sacred scriptures of the great religions of the world and the texts of ancient civilizations.

In the 1960s, LSD and other psychedelics were adopted by and became synonymous with, the counterculture movement due to their perceived ability to expand consciousness. Owsley Stanley, the most important black market LSD manufacturer distributed LSD at a standard concentration of 270 μg.
