Place reservation for Tripped : Nazi Germany, the CIA and the dawn of the psychedelic ageFirst used as a drug capable of treating mental illnesses, then as a 'truth serum' by the CIA, this book reveals how the fortuitous discovery of LSD in April 1943 led to a mass exploitation of this promising hallucinogen. Using archival material, Norman Ohler brings to light the often misguided interaction between scientific research, state authorities and hedonistic drug culture that shaped drug policy in the twentieth century.
