The Psychedelic era was the time of social, musical and artistic change influenced by psychedelic drugs, occurring from the mid-1960s[1] to the mid-1970s.[2] The era was defined by the proliferation of LSD and its following influence in the development of psychedelic music and psychedelic film in the Western world.[3]
Writers who explored the potentials of consciousness exploration in the psychedelic era included Alan Watts, Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner and Ram Dass among others; an important journal of the time was The Psychedelic Review.[4]
