    Far-Out Man!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2016*

No, but really...this book is very informative, almost too much information (if there could ever be such a thing) to take in. Aside from all of the lurid LSD parties and shenanigans, from a historical point, this book has it all. If you lived through this time period, and have difficulties recalling what was going on at the time, then this book will help put things into perspective, and maybe give you an "Aha" moment, or two, or three, or more... This book touches on the CIA, U.S. government, politics, rock 'n roll, drug trafficking, Hippies, Beats, and many of the protests of the turbulent 60's and 70's. I recommend that everyone read this book, especially those too young to remember!

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015*

Fascinating book.  At times a bit slow, but all in all this history/documentary clips along very well and holds the reader's interest as it unfolds the LSD story in considerable detail.  This is about as wide-ranging a book as one could possibly imagine on the subject.After reading it, many people would feel the most important conclusion to be drawn from this story is that the CIA inadvertently triggered much of the anti-war movement of the 1960s, along with the emergence of the hippie counterculture and its culmination in the 1967 San Francisco Summer of Love, as unlikely as all that might seem.This book tells how and a lot more.Interesting stuff about Timothy Leary and his place in the Acid story, with a  passing bow to Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.  Fascinating glimpses behind the scenes of the shocking protests and police repression that took place outside the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago; the advent of the Students for a Democratic Society, and even some of the inner workings of the Black Panthers.In somewhat of a surprise, the author suggests that LSD may have had a significant dampening effect on the more radical political movements of the mid to late 60s.As an indication of how wild (almost eccentric) this book is in places, picture CIA agents secretly spiking fellow agents' drinks with LSD.  Be a fly on the wall observing the inner workings of the business operations of the Southern California Acid mafia that took over distribution of LSD after Owsley Stanley split the scene.This reviewer hesitates to label any book as a Must Read; but for anyone doing extensive research into the phenomenon of the 1960s, this book is in fact a must-read.  And for those who participated in the wild ride of the acid-drenched days of the 1960s, this book will prove to be a fun (and instructive) read as well.  For those who never tripped, it will nevertheless give a much clearer understanding of this drug and its place in what was surely the most radical period of change in American cultural history.

    Interesting, but...
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020*

As a child of the '60s and a former "hippie", this book was an interesting narrative about the history of LSD, but I found that, as the book progressed, the history started becoming somewhat tedious. The author's obvious approval of LSD usage and the "insights" he believes users acquire begin to sound repetitive, as are the narratives about individuals which begin to blur into indistinguishable, predictable stories. If you are interested in such things, you will enjoy the book. To me, the best part of the book was the beginning, where we learn about government agencies (e.g., the CIA) that studied and used the drug on unsuspecting people in the never-ending search for a truth serum. It was truly unnerving to learn what people in power can do if they believe they are not being watched or feel unaccountable to anyone. All in all, it was a so-so read which I will not pick up again for a second time.
