In the time of the 1960s and '70s counterculture, lysergic acid
diethylamide, commonly known as LSD, was a popular hallucinogenic
drug. Though eventually made illegal, LSD was first used in
government and psychotherapeutic experiments conducted to pinpoint
a clinical use for the drug. These experiments were abandoned due
to the unpredictability of people's reactions to LSD 'trips' and
the dangerous psychological effects that an unpredictable bad trip
can have on a person. ""LSD"" gives a brief overview of how
hallucinogens work in the brain and explains their traditional use
in spiritual contexts. Looking at the psychological, biological,
social, and legal aspects of this psychedelic drug, this
informative new title explains the chemistry of the drug, dispels
common misconceptions, and highlights the very real risks of
hallucinogenic drugs.Chapters include: Overview of Hallucinogens;
History of LSD; Government Testing of LSD; Psychological and
Physiological Effects of LSD; LSD-Induced Psychological Disorders;
Use of LSD in Psychotherapy; and Comparison of LSD to Other
Hallucinogens.
