In December 2007, Swiss medical authorities permitted a psychotherapist to perform psychotherapeutical experiments with patients who suffer from terminal stage cancer and other deadly diseases.

"LSD wanted to tell me something. It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation." - Albert Hofmann, on his 100th birthday.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')h, to get back to the, uh, the warning that I've received you may take it with how many however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. Uh, it's suggested that you do stay away from that, course it's your own trip, so be my guest, but, uh, please be advised that there is a warning on that one ok?

Hey Al! So what's it like out there? I think those Sonoran desert cactus flower buds are better, but that's just my preference. A rainy day on the porch. Very fine, but peyote was scarce. Acid was everywhere. Nowhere near as good as nature's own psychedelic. There's something metallic and jarring about acid. That was all 30 years ago, but acid does not bring pleasant memories like peyote does.

I read this book a few years ago. It's a very well-written social history of the LSD phenomenon.
