The drug was not used; the population of Salem was victim to it. Every x number of years historians have seen a growth of the mold on wheat. When they traced it back, the witch hunts took place during a time when there was a growth of the mold. Because the people of the 1600 did not have any knowledge of LSD they had no explanation for what was happening to them except for witches.
I think it was KQED that had a special on it several years ago.
