Psychedelics Peter Stafford Introductions by
Psychedelics is a wealth of information about one of the ost controversial issues of modern times. Stafford weaves scientific research, personal acocunts, and popular literature into a fascinating story of the amazing "mind-manifesting" substances known as "psychedelics." Stafford has the vision to see that what was happening in the 60s was making history and recorded the events as they happened. So important is "The Stafford Collection" that is has been deposited in the library of Columbia University. There is a mythic element in the emergence of LSD, which Stafford illuminates and explores in Psychedelics, along with the shifting social attitudes towards them. Psychedelics
is a remarkable sourcebook for those interested in the psychological,
biological,
physiological and cultural aspects of psychedelics drugs.
