The symptoms, diagnostic categories, and general characteristics of patients in 70 cases of adverse reactions to lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate (LSD) are varied. Psychiatric side effects ranged from depressive reaction to psychotic states.

This book attempts to set down, almost verbatim, the verbalizations of three subjects given LSD, psilocybin, sernyl, and a placebo. The drugs were administered in a single-blind fashion under conditions of sensory monotony, namely, listening to noise and looking at a glazed white dome for three hours. What the authors hoped to achieve was to eliminate the extraneous factors of setting and set...

Since the discovery of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) in 1943, a voluminous literature has accumulated concerning its effects on a variety of animals, including man. Despite the mass of published reports, definitive evidence is generally lacking, particularly with regard to the subjective and behavioral effects both during and subsequent to the LSD induced state. It is well established...

The medical community was alarmed recently by the uncontrolled and somewhat-promiscuous use of "hallucinogens" in one of our major cities. The lay press contained many accounts suggesting the various hallucinogenic properties, but emphasized that the drugs seemed to provide the user with something of a mystic experience— what has been called "instant Zen." InThe Beyond Withinthe author places...
