FROM THE EROWID REVIEW #
- Review by Seth R. Glick, 2009 Apr 29
The novice and experienced alike will be wowed by Leary's articulation of the mental and physical sensations of his drug trips. A good collection of writings for anyone with even a fleeting interest in Leary or psychedelics. The majority of writings from the 1960s are presented within the context of the psychedelic movement and the new people and drugs that threatened to upset the status quo in America. Similarly, those writings from the 1990s focus on technology's role in the future.. . . (more)
