How Hallucinogens Work In Your Brain Illustration by R Crumb, and Ellen G...One part user's manual, one part cutting-edge scientific journal, this book reveals the incredible, unrecorded history of the rearchers working on hallucinogens and how they were effectively blacklisted from late in the 1960s to the early 1990s.

Reviews

Laced with humor and wit but never short on scientific facts, Cheryl Pellerin'sTripsis a much-needed antidote to the inane discourse of the drug war.Martin A. Lee, co-author withBruce Schlain of Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD and the Sixties Rebellion

A fine source of responsible information about how the verboten and vilified but perennially popular hallucinogenic drugs go about their nefarious business. . . . [Pellerin's] book is fresh, reasonable, and very engaging.Booklist
