In 1947, it was synthesized and tested for human activity by [[Albert Hofmann]].

In 1970, LSA was detected as a constituent in Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, which were being ground up into capsules and sold on the street as "mescaline".<ref>Miller, M. D. (1970).

User reports describe the effects of LSA as primarily sedating and dream-like, with a mild to moderate psychedelic component. The psychedelic effects of LSA occur inconsistently and are not directly comparable to the effects of classical psychedelics like [[LSD]], [[psilocybin mushrooms]], or [[mescaline]]. LSA is described as primarily bodily and cognitive with little visual effects. Many users report serious [[nausea]] and bodily discomfort ("body load") when taking LSA-containing seeds.
