Getting High: A History of LSD

Getting High: A History of LSD Getting High explores the legacy of LSD with the help of people like Tom Wolfe and Jay Stephens. Visit the lab where the drug was first synthesized by the Swiss scientist Albert Hoffman in 1943, and examine the controversial tests conducted by the CIA and the military, as well as other nations. See how Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley brought the drug into the public eye, while singer Grace Slick and Ralph Metzner share remarkably divergent tales of their encounters with acid.

Steal This Book

Steal This Book Introduction: "It's perhaps fitting that I write this introduction in jail- that graduate school of survival. Here you learn how to use toothpaste as glue, fashion a shiv out of a spoon and build intricate communication networks. Here too, you learn the only rehabilitation possible-hatred of oppression." - Abbie Hoffman. Nov 20, 2002 11:40 PM
