I've just read a very interesting book after seeing it mentioned in HN's earlier discussion of LSD. It's by Dr. Rick Strassman, who conducted the first trials of a psychodelic held in the US in 20 years (using a potent psychodelic called DMD). Even after his trial was approved by the FDA and DEA, he struggled to find a supplier for human-quality DMT, although he had already procured a sufficient quantity of laboratory-quality of DMT for testing purposes. It's a very interesting book -- I highly recommend it [0]. He's not a strong writer in terms of narrative (I found the book's pacing to be jarring given the intensity of experiences described), but he's very precise and describes some very interesting work, and some amazing experiences had by his subjects [0]. 0. http://www.rickstrassman.com/ http://www.rickstrassman.com/
