An absolute eye opener

The author did an absolutely fantastic job covering the history and use of psychadelic substances. Extremely informative and entertaining

A wow review buy the tab take the ride

Tripped is a deeply immersive exploration of human psychology, rendered through a surreal and existential lens. The narrative follows a protagonist whose experiences, referred to as “trips,” blur the boundaries between reality and delusion. These disorienting episodes serve as a metaphor for the character’s inner turmoil, challenging both the protagonist and the reader to question what is real.

The book’s fragmented narrative style and dense prose demand careful attention, mirroring the protagonist’s disorientation. Shifts in time and perspective contribute to a complex structure that, while challenging, enhances the thematic depth of the work. The author’s use of language is both innovative and evocative, requiring readers to engage deeply with the text.

Tripped tackles themes of alienation, existential dread, and the search for meaning in an indifferent universe. These themes are explored with a level of intellectual rigor that positions the book as a significant contribution to existential literature.

However, the book’s complexity may alienate some readers, particularly those who prefer straightforward narratives. The frequent shifts in time and perspective demand patience and may be difficult to follow.

Despite these challenges, Tripped is a remarkable work that pushes the boundaries of literary form and content. It offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, rewarding those who engage with its complexities. As a profound piece of postmodern literature, Tripped is likely to be the subject of continued discussion and analysis in years to come.

What a wonderful read

What a wonderful book. Narration is top notch and the story of the writer’s Mom adds the perfect touch.

Unique take on the story of LSD

It’s well written, a good general overview of LSD. Usually the German/Swiss component of the development of and then global ban on psychedelics isn’t presented, so this was unique to this story.

Ohler was inspired to research and write it because his mother has dementia and LSD is potentially a remedy. He explores that in the last section.

He also wrote a book called Blitzed about methamphetamines and WW2 which I’m excited to read soon.

The history of the subject

Really interesting and in depth book definitely would recommend it to other readers who would love the subject
