Chemistry and creativity : Acid Trips and Chemistry By Cam Cloud
Chemistry study guide: Acid Trips and Chemistry By Cam Cloud
Acid—known to scientists as "LSD-25"—is one of the most powerful mind-altering substances
known to humankind. It requires only a few millionths of a gram to generate spectacular effects.
Plants containing LSD-like compounds were revered in earlier civilizations as tools for contacting the gods
directly. Yet in our modern technological society, which can produce these compounds in pure form,
these substances are illegal. There are some who believe that acid is inherently harmful, while others view it as a powerful tool for personal growth and development. Acid is not physically habit-forming, even though Federal law classifies it along with highly addictive substances. This book is not a debate about whether LSD
should be made legal. The purpose of this book is to document acid's chemistry and effects as part of an
archive of an influential underground culture
The first three chapters discuss the acid experience and the factors that contribute to its nature and effects. Although many aspects of psychedelics remain mysterious, researchers know what can make a trip good or bad. The next several chapters discuss the drug's impact on the areas of life profoundly affected by its use: psychology, creativity, and spirituality. Bad trips, their causes, and the means by which trippers avoid or deal with them, along with the practice of covert dosing—which almost inevitably generates bad trips—are covered in the next two chapters, followed by a detailed summary of the legal status of LSD in the United States.The remaining chapters provide information on LSD chemistry—the complex, hazardous, and often
illegal processes by which acid is produced. This sequence of chapters describes the process by which
the fungus ergot, a natural source of chemicals from which acid can be made, can be harvested and turned
into LSD.Psychedelics indelibly marked American culture in the 1960s. LSD transformed thousands of lives. Acid Trips And Chemistry documents this fascinating and important chemical.
