NOTE: This is a WELL-WORN copy of the first edition of this still very informative book -- more than a half-century after its actual publication. Certainly over these decades scientists have learned more about the effects of this drug, even going so far as to sanction its medical and pschiatric use within controlled settings. In the midst of a raging national controversy two authorities speak out on the dangers, merits, legal regulations and control of the revolutionary psychedelic drug. Richard Alpert, also known as Ram Dass, is an American contemporary spiritual teacher. He is known for his personal and professional associations with Timothy Leary in the early 1960's..
"My lawyers have advised me to say that my comments are in no way to be construed as advocating the violation of any state or federal laws." (Richard Alpert).
