Absolute must have for any one with extensive interest in LSD. ALL aspects of the drug are explained and there are many testimonials. Ever tripped really hard and didn't know what to think? This book shows that others have had your experiences and translates everything into definitions for all of those crazy thoughts. My favorite book.

"What is it really like? What happens to ordinary people when they take a drug like LSD?" This book is great, because it looks at LSD from a scientific point of view (chemically, physiologically, psychoanalytically, etc) as well as from a subjective perspective (including many very detailed first-hand accounts) and what makes LSD so interesting an experience. It explores the commonalities of LSD experiences including spiritual awakenings and aesthetic appreciation, in great detail, the most comprehensive sense of what it is really like that i have ever read.

I used this book a great deal when I was a practicum student with little knowledge about substance abuse. It provides an extensive glossary/dictionary of both medical and slang terms for thousands of entries. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who would like to develop thier understanding of substance abuse.
