Next time you hear someone say 'Back in the olden days, we had to make our own fun', this is probably what they are talking about.

An American biographer - doing research for a book on pioneers in the field of hallucinogenic drug experimentation - has stumbled upon footage of a prim and proper housewife struggling with the effects of LSD.

The bizarre and slightly creepy footage shows a doctor dosing up the young woman and filming the consequences. By now, of course, she's likely to be somebody's grandmother. Biographer Don Lattin said he came across the footage while preparing a group biography of British writer Aldous Huxley, philosopher Gerald Heard, and Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Mr Lattin said: 'It's from a television programme, circa 1956, about mental health issues.

'The researcher, Dr Sidney Cohen, was dosing volunteers at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Los Angeles.'
