Out of print for more than half a century, LSD: A Journey into the Asked, the Answered, and the Unknown, is now available in a commemorative edition, with candid commentary, a new introduction by counterculture journalist Jessica Hundley, and a photographic portrait of a generation.In the midst of a raging national controversy around the indiscriminate use of LSD, two authorities - Richard Alpert, PhD (AKA Ram Dass) and psychoanalyst Sidney Cohen, MD &8211; spoke out on the dangers, merits, legal regulations and control of the revolutionary psychedelic drug. Their book was illustrated with a groundbreaking photo essay by journalist Lawrence Schiller, whose cover story for Life magazine introduced America to the sweeping new LSD epidemic and was a precursor to the federal criminalization of the drug.As the first national photojournalist to capture the American acid scene from the inside, Schiller began with a single in Berkeley, California, and built a large network of young, receptive subjects who allowed him to document their private experiences with LSD. At first, his s were few and difficult.
