“The consciousness-expanding drugs - the hallucinogens, such as cannabis, mescaline, LSD, Psylocybin - I think are useful to a writer up to a certain point. That is, they open psychic areas that would not otherwise be available to the writer. But I feel that once these areas have been opened and the writer has reached them, he is able to get back there in the future without the drug.” ThinkingFeelsHas BeensAbleCertainConsciousnessDrugAreasAvailableGet BackPsychicsExpandingCannabisLsdHallucinogensConsciousness Expanding Author:William S.

“LSD was my "wonder child", we had a positive reaction from everywhere in the world. Around two thousand publications about it appeared in scientific journals and everything was fine. Then, at the beginning of the 1960s, here in the United States, LSD became a drug of abuse. In a short time, this wave of popular use swept the country and it became "drug number one". It was then used without caution and people were not prepared and informed about its deep effects. Instead of a "wonder child", LSD suddenly became my "problem child".” PeopleWorldChildrenTwoCountryStatesUseProblemUsedUnitedNumbersWonderUnited StatesEffectsFineDrugThousandAbusePreparedWaveReactionsJournalCaution1960sPublicationShort TimeLsdProblem Child Author:Albert Hofmann
