Broschiert. Etat : Gut. 250 S. / p. Bibliotheksexemplar mit Signaturschild und Stempeln, altersgemäß tadelloser Zustand / Library copy with signature label and stamps, age-related perfect condition - Hallucinogenic drugs have been with us since ancient times and their use has been an accepted fact in many diverse cultures. Today, there is much hearsay and folklore connected with such drugs and their effects. Psychedelic Drugs is a most welcome addition to the literature which delineates fact from fiction. It clearly presents the dangers involved in the use of such drugs, while not slighting their potential benefits. The number of the drugs may amaze the reader, who surely will be amused to find nutmeg and banana skins among them. -- Dr. Wells devotes most of his discussion to those hallucinogens that make the headlines - LSD, marijuana, and heroin. Mescaline, cannabis, and others are discussed from the point of view of therapeutic use. Both in the case of therapy and that of abuse, the effect of taking psychedelics depends to a great extent on the character and intent of the taker. This is especially important among youth, whose objectives and ideals have generally not yet crystallized. The misuse or overuse of psychedelics may very well permit the young people to escape coming to terms with a very demanding real world. As Humphry Osmond says in his Foreword, it is ironic that psychedelics became popular with the wrong people, at the wrong time, in the wrong way. ( It is truly funny to read how the term psychedelic came into being. ) -- The use of such hallucinogens is likely to become more common and the furor over their use will probably diminish. Legalization of some drugs is a fact already confronting us. This excellent book discusses the relationship between drugs and the incidence of psychosis, as well as their influence on the viability of chromosomes, thus touching upon the vast subject of hereditary defects. The author regretfully informs us that there is much yet to be learned regarding the effects of these drugs. -- Dr. Wells then shifts his sketch to a broader canvas. He explores the possible effects of psychedelics on such derivative but vital matters as sexuality, aggression, creative and religious experience and, above all, crime.
