- I briefly skimmed this book in the UW bookstore and it seems to be
- reasonably decent. It was based on information from NIDA resulting from
- (if i remember correctly) some seminars which followed the media hysteria
- over the "comeback" of LSD we saw about 2 years or so ago. It doesn't
- engage in a lot of anti-LSD hysteria, but there are some subtle biases --
- for example, from what i saw it had a tendency to quote your usual
- eloquent high school LSD users. Why fucking bother trying to draw
- conclusions about what LSD is like when your sample is so totally biased?
- Of course, what they're not getting is people who are older and employed
- and don't exactly go around flaunting their LSD use. They wind up with
- those who are younger, who are drop outs, or who've managed to get into
- trouble from it...
-
- Anyway it *did*, however, seem to be devoid of the usual scare stories
- about LSD. It would be useful when trying to argue with people who are
- substantially negative on LSD...
