Review: The LSD Story:The Drug That Expands The Mind

The LSD Story:The Drug That Expands The Mind The LSD Story:The Drug That Expands The Mind by John Cashman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

New York reporter John Cashman compiled in 1966 a history of LSD from ergot to Hoffman and explored its cultural impact. He pays special attention to the acid evangelism of Cary Grant and the Leary-Alpert team ousted from Harvard. There is a lot of first-hand accounts from test subjects, as well as Cashman's own experiences under the hallucinogen. Overall, this is a sober, balanced assessment of what was know at that time and and offer the facts without proclaiming for any particular side.
