The Acid Tests were a series of
psychedelic parties held by
Ken Kesey in the
San Francisco Bay Area during the early 1960's, centered entirely around the use, experimentation, and advocacy of
LSD, also known as "acid." The name "Acid Test" was coined by Kesey, after the term "
acid test". He advertised the parties with posters that read, "Can You Pass The Acid Test?", and the name was later popularized in
Tom Wolfe's 1968 novel, "
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test." Musical performances by the
Grateful Dead (then the Warlocks) were commonplace, along with
black lights,
strobe lights, and
fluorescent paint. The Acid Tests are notable for their influence on the LSD-based counterculture of the San Francisco area and subsequent transition from the
beat generation to the
hippie movement.
