Psychedelics

By Peter G. Stafford

Provides a framework for understanding the enormous amount of information available on psychoactive substances. Stafford relays the history, botany, chemistry, physical and mental effects, forms, sources, and preparations of LSD--the most potent and representative of class of drugs called psychedelics. Stafford claims that psychedelics offer surprising benefits to society and he explores the record of promising studies that were truncated in the 1960s, along with a commentary of developments since that time.

entheogenic lite

an entertaining and informed primer that achieves a lot with a friendly manner and a concise approach. Features some interesting sidelines on the various personalities involved through the years and contains some fascinating images and photos. Most who will be attracted to this book (government officials notwithstanding) will already have a lot of this information in their libraries; Stafford does, however, deliver an amusing and informative overview that can be taken in a manageable but worthwhile dose. I enjoyed it!
