Is the lsd state reality or illusion? Can you understand this issue without having had “the experience?” Is the freedom to take lsd an inalienable right of man? Why do some people have horrible lsd experiences? Can one escape the games of life with lsd? Why has a link been suggested between the lsd experience and mysticism? What are the implications for religion if a chemical religious experience is a possibility? What is the relationship between the lsd experience and creativity? Who should have lsd? Who should give lsd? Who should control lsd? Why are the State and Federal prohibitive laws being enacted against the psychedelics? What is the relationship between marijuana and the psychedelics?

Additional questions and Five photographic essaysReviewsAuthor InformationRichard Alpert, PhD, (1931-2019) AKA Ram Dass, was a Harvard psychologist who, with his colleague Timothy Leary, pioneered the therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs. As Ram Dass, he became a spiritual leader, popularizing Eastern practices in the West through his charities and books like Be Here Now. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Sidney Cohen, MD (1910-1987) was a pioneer in research on LSD and other mood-altering drugs as an academic and as the first director of the Division of Narcotic Abuse and Drug Addiction at the National Institute of Mental Health. He was a psychiatrist, professor of medicine, and prolific author. Lawrence Schiller (b. 1936) first used photography as a way to see the world. He took his still camera everywhere, which resulted in a rich body of photographic work. His multi-faceted approach to telling a story, not just through photography, but also investigative journalism, film, television, and book publishing produced unique and deep perspectives on his subjects. With a career spanning more than five decades, Schiller has created a visual and written history of America during some of the most tumultuous and important years of the twentieth century. Schiller has written four New York Times bestsellers and his films have won an Oscar and seven Emmys. He currently resides in Pennsylvania.
