About this product

Product Information

LSD My Problem Child is the story of LSD told by a concerned yet hopeful father and organic chemist, the late Albert Hofmann, PhD. Credited with synthesizing and discovering the psychedelic effects of LSD, Hofmann traces the path of the drug from a promising psychiatric research medicine to a recreational drug sparking hysteria and prohibition. In LSD: My Problem Child , Dr. Hofmann documents his trek across Mexico to discover sacred plants related to LSD and shares correspondences with notable figures including Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley and Walter Vogt. The underlying current of this book is Dr. Hofmann's powerful conclusion that mystical experiences may be our planet's best hope for survival. Whether induced by LSD, meditation, or arising spontaneously, such experiences help us to comprehend, as Hofmann wrote, "the wonder, the mystery of the divine, in the microcosm of the atom, in the macrocosm of the spiral nebula, in the seeds of plants, in the body and soul of people." More than sixty years after the birth of Albert Hofmann's problem child, his vision of its true potential is reaching relevancy as psychedelics enjoy a new resurgence in popular discourse. In 2022, Hofmann's pioneering work was featured in the Netflix documentary series, "How to Change Your Mind."

Reviews
"The discovery of the psychedelic properties of LSD was a milestone in the history of consciousness. Albert Hofmann's personal story of that discovery and its consequences is one of my favorite books." -Andrew Weil, MD "Aldous wrote about LSD that 'it is a gratuitous grace neither necessary nor sufficient for salvation.' Probably The Doors of Perception might not have been written were it not for Albert's 'problem child.'" -Laura Huxley "It is our good fortune that Dr. Albert Hofmann, a nature mystic and Nobel Prize-worthy scientist, made such an amazing discovery." -Martin A. Lee

Great Psychedelic Read
Very well written and interesting book. It was wonderful to hear what the father of one of the best psychedelics the world has ever known has to say about his "problem child". It's also interesting to see how Hoffman's views contrast with both pro- and anti-LSD advocates, such as Tim Leary and Terrance McKenna. However, I wouldn't really recommend reading this book if you are not interested, or at least open-minded on the subject matter.
