Higher Wisdom: Eminent Elders Explore The Continuing Impact Of Psychedelics (2005),
Charles S. Grob and
Roger Walsh, eds.
Psychedelics have been a part—often a central and
sacred part—of most societies throughout history, and for half a century
psychedelics have rumbled through the Western world, seeding a subculture,
titillating the media, fascinating youth, terrifying parents, enraging
politicians, and intriguing researchers. Not surprisingly, these curious
chemicals fascinated some of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century,
fourteen of whom were interviewed for this book. Because no further human
research can be done, these researchers constitute an irreplaceable
resource. Higher Wisdom offers their fascinating anecdotes, invaluable
knowledge, and hard-won wisdom—the culmination of fifty years of research
and reflection on one of the most intriguing and challenging topics of our
time. Includes interviews with
Albert Hofmann, Alexander T.

Hallucinogens: A Reader (2002) by
Charles Grob
It's been forty years since Timothy Leary sat beside a
swimming pool in Cuernavaca, Mexico, ingested several grams of the genus
Stropharia cubensis, and experienced a dazzling display of visions that led
him to herald the dawning of a New Age. And yet, from the counterculture
movement of the 1960s, through the War on Drugs, to this very day, the world
at large has viewed hallucinogens not as a gift but as a threat to society.
In Hallucinogens, Charles Grob
surveys recent writings from Donald M.
Topping, Gary Fisher,
Glenn H. Shepard,
Huston Smith,
Jeremy Narby,
Lawrence Bush,
Myron J. Stolaroff,
Ralph Metzner,
Rick J. Strassman,
Roger Walsh,
Terence McKenna, and
Thomas Riedlinger -- illustrating
that a reevaluation of the social worth of hallucinogens-used
intelligently-is greatly in order.
