| Description: |
This text explores the emergence of LSD and chronicles how the drug found favour with many psychologists, including doctors at a mental institute who believed it could be used to treat mental illness. |
| Synopsis: |
ACID--A New Secret History of LSD shows that the CIA and the British security services played a pivotal role in making tripping on LSD a popular counterculture activity. While looking at MKULTRA and other secret testing programs, this book also explores the role of shadowy figures such as Ron Stark--one of the godfathers of the acid business in Britain and the US. Who was he, who controlled him, and what is the truth behind his suspicious 'death' in 1984? Was his death actually faked, as many suspect it was? |
