Confusion made understood
- Here is a book that addresses one of the major mysteries of chemical addiction and the recreational use of LSD. Gifted with the insight and experience of Ram Dass, Sid Cohen, and Lawrence Schiller, the listener is privileged to hear knowledge and wisdom from the three contributors. This is not a book of positive or negative preaching about the pros and cons of using LSD. Rather, it allows both the scholarly listener and the layman to hear much of the documented history of the drug’s use and misuse. This document of use and abuse is a testimony to the controversy that has surrounded the drug from its inception. One will come away from this audiobook knowing that they are better informed and of enlightened first-hand knowledge of the often profound and often downer trips LSD can offer. Well worth the listening.
