Psychedelics 101

introduced by Peter Stafford, P.I., psychedelics investigator, chronicler & story teller

Peter has for more than a third of a century written about those  curious, fascinating, powerful substances known as psychedelics.    Here is where you can find some of his ruminations -- some  elsewhere on the World Wide Web, but also increasingly on this site. This site might be thought of, actually, as a course: Psychedelics 101!

Stafford's first book on this subject was a collaborative effort with Bonnie Golightly, a writer who earlier had published some 20 books. LSD -- The Problem-Solving Psychedelic was issued in 1967 in the U.S. by Award Books, and then in England both by Foyles Science Book Club & by Sedgewick & Jackson as LSD in Action. It is available now in the Lycaeum's Drug Library at       http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/lsd/stafford.htm

Psychedelics are the royal road to the unconscious, and I would advise anyone interested in these matters to read Peter Stafford's Psychedelics Encyclopedia -- which will have to do until better brains come along.              -- Timothy Leary     Stafford's encyclopedia is scholarly, hip, scientific, witty, well-written, hopeful, and a treasure chest of weird and wonderful information.         -- Robert Anton Wilson   Stafford writes with authority and charm, an unbeatable blend.                -- Chester Anderson
