According to Dr. Benjamin Thomas in his journal on Psychedelia, a species known as the Boletus Manicus Heim is considered to be a very potent psychoactive mushroom. It was originally collected and described by mycologist Roger Heim, in Papua New Guinea in the early 1960's. Studies performed by a number of chemists, including Dr. Albert Hoffman propeitier of di-lysergic acid diethylamide, proved to be inconclusive though in discovering the mushrooms active components.
This arised as a result of experimentation with many psychedelic drugs in the 60s, with the main game being LSD. It spread into many people and cultures, creating new ways of life and signifying a new world. This is starting to become extinct, due to the governmental enforcements on these substances, hence the downtrend. However, a new psychedelic movement is approaching the society - autism. Because these individuals naturally produce bufotenin (found in amanita mushrooms), laws may change and the world will become more active than ever.
Arguably the first full-blown psychedelic song was "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds, released in March of 1966. But more likely, it was "Telstar" by The Tornados (1961), written by the visionary Joe Meek. His song The Bublight (1960) was the beginning of all Progressive Rock.

Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic version of the "Star-Spangled Banner" symbolized a powerful expression of the turbulent social and political climate of the 1960s. By reinterpreting the national anthem with distorted guitar effects and improvisational flair, he conveyed a sense of protest against the Vietnam War and racial injustice, reflecting the disillusionment of a generation. His performance at Woodstock became an iconic moment, embodying the counterculture movement's struggle for peace and freedom. Ultimately, Hendrix's rendition transformed the anthem into a poignant commentary on American identity and the complexities of patriotism.
