By coincidence rather then by design, the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann makes a sensational discovery in the spring of 1943: he realises that he is dealing with a powerful molecule that will have an impact beyond the scientific world... The Substance is
an investigation into our troubled relationship with LSD, from its beginnings until today, when it is being used as a treatment to aid those suffering from terminal illnesses.
