LSD My Problem Child (4th Edition)

Reflections on Sacred Drugs, Mysticism and Science

De: Albert Hofmann Ph.D.

Narrado por: Steven J. Cohen

This is the story of LSD told by a concerned yet hopeful father, organic chemist Albert Hofmann, PhD. He traces LSD's path from a promising psychiatric research medicine to a recreational drug sparking hysteria and prohibition.

In LSD: My Problem Child, we follow Dr. Hofmann's trek across Mexico to discover sacred plants related to LSD, and listen in as he corresponds with other notable figures about his remarkable discovery. Underlying it all is Dr. Hofmann's powerful conclusion that mystical experiences may be our planet's best hope for survival. Whether induced by LSD, meditation, or arising spontaneously, such experiences help us to comprehend "the wonder, the mystery of the divine, in the microcosm of the atom, in the macrocosm of the spiral nebula, in the seeds of plants, in the body and soul of people".

More than 60 years after the birth of Albert Hofmann's problem child, his vision of its true potential is more relevant, and more needed, than ever.

Such an amazing chemist.

I have been wanting to listen/read this book for a while. It was exactly what I thought it would be and such an interesting story. As a psychonaut I always wanted to know how this Ineffable molecule came along.

Just..... wow

Amazing information within this audiobook.
I do not regret for a second purchasing it
And neither will you. I sincerely doubt. If this is a topic that interests you. Or if Albert Hoffman alone (r.i.p. beautiful man) is an area of interest I do believe you will enjoy this book.
Thank you for this book. To all who were involved in it's making/ publishing etc. 🙏❤️

very descriptive and informative

the narrators voice was monotone and made it difficult to differentiate between authors. it would be better with different narrators for each author.

Speechless!

I’m speechless. Simply an amazing journey from the beginning to the end. At this day and time I can’t imagine what the CIA is doing with this drug….But I’m looking forward to seeing how it’s being used today.

Five Twinkling Stars

This is a significant book on the topic of LSD. I'm glad someone finally put it in audio format.
