Tim Leary, Billy Hitchcock, Milbrook, Alan Watts, pink owsley, The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, Clair Booth Luce! (It's all here.) A finely written work of contemporary history from the LSD user's point of view. If you have an interest in LSD or the CIA or the 60s there is no finer book to read. This book is not a comic book or "like far out, man," treatment of LSD. It combines meticulous investigative journalism and cultural anthropolgy submitted and is a awesome read.

And it's all true! If you were there go back and come inside where it's warm for a while. If you weren't there, it's gonna blow your mind.

Anybody remember Ronald Hadley Stark?


Turn on, tune in & drop out with the CIA, Owsely and . . .   April 12, 2003
You won't here these stories on Fox News or Salon. This book is a superb piece of cultural anthropology and an awesome read. Remember: Owsely, the Farm, the Haight & the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, CIA suicides and the Edgware Arsenal? You get all of the foregoing plus great investigative journalism and a contact high. Part one: the CIA & LSD (You won't hear these stories on Fox News) is worth the price alone. If you can't remember which American General demanded that the Congress flood the NY subway system with LSD gas, you can find the answer here.

An interesting and informative read.   July 7, 2000

Whether you are an aging tripster, a Wall Street conservative, or a high school student, Acid Dreams will grab your interest from the first page. I found this book a very informative illumination of the 50s CIA research(scandalous and horrifying; this subject in itself could fill many books)the 1960s, and Hippie culture. Very well written, it never gets dry or boring. I couldn't put it down, and reccomend it to anyone looking for a fun, exciting, and enlightening read.
