LSD in fiction and prose prior to CL49

[wood jim]

Doug Millison, 

your sources are bad. 
Those are conspiracy books. Fun, but not factual. 

Need I provide the list that a quick key word search
of a major library offers when I keyed in the
following,  

LSD in 1960s fiction. 

If I list only novels and other published texts from
1960-63, the list will be very long. 

Try it. 

>From 1963 to 1967, Alpert and Leary encouraged the
rest of society to use  LSD.  That's 1964 folks. see
Alpert's With Timothy Leary and Ralph Metzner,  The
Psychedelic Experience, Morrow, 1964.

Maybe P read fellow New Yorker Abramson, who,
ironically, died at Cold Spring Harbor. He was one of
the first Americans to research the effects of LSD, a
hallucinogenic drug. He was also involved with
  the Central Intelligence Agency's experiments with
the controversial drug. His writings include
Dimensional Analysis for Students of Medicine, The
Patient Speaks, and The Use of LSD in Psychotherapy
and Alcoholism.

 Maybe P read "Experiments in Seeing"  (1963), by
Asher. Harry Asher volunteered for an early experiment
with LSD, which produces in some subjects symptoms
resembling those of schizophrenia; an account of his
experience appeared in Saturday Review so maybe P read
it too. 


The list at my local library is 141 authors long. 
many of these have written several books about LSD
and/or have written fictions in which LSD is key to
the novel and/or the writing of it. 

In 1961 I lost my brother to LSD. He was in the US
Navy.
