That I knew, as I'd heard it long before Jonestown. What I didn't know
is that the Acid Test was LSD, not the acid you test for gold with.
Don't understand.
OED dates acid test for gold back to 1892, which predates LSD by about
half a century.
(LSD synthesized 1938)
Or do you mean that Acid Test (capitalized) has taken on a meaning of its own?
