Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-23 00:00:00 Jason Summers Reference material. The proofs are very wordy (I get the feeling that they are at times unnecessarily so) and there are a few distracting typos. Hard to rate because despite my criticisms, I actually got a lot out of it.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-11-30 00:00:00 Parker Samuelson I got this as a gift from someone whose taste I trust implicitly, so read it despite not having had much interest in LSD since high school (when, frankly, I had a fairly serious and highly personal interest in the compound). It's a beautifully written account of the role LSD played in the social and psychological upheavals of the '60s. The early chapters on the CIA's early experiments with acid as a mind-control tool are especially interesting. The authors' historical research chops are impressive, but their attempts to be objective about LSD are shaky at best. They're clearly in the pro-acid, anti-establishment camp, and their hippie advocacy puts something of a damper on an otherwise great investigation of the heretofore underexamined link between this particular drug and the politics of liberation. On the whole, a very good read. Certainly recommended for anyone who cares about LSD in anything more than a casual way (which set, for better or worse, does not include me).
