...since it's on NPR, I expect it will be available in
Real Audio at the NPR web site; it's also set for
broadcast on NPR stations around the US this week. 
Dave Monroe, scholar & gentleman, has mentioned the
Bromwell book here, too.

National Public Radio: The Infinite Mind
Show on Psychedelics
 
LSD, psilocybin, mescaline‚ they're listed as schedule
one narcotics, right up there with heroin,
amphetamines, and marijuana. But today, 35 years after
"turn on, tune in, drop out," we explore what
scientists are learning about the potential of
psychedelic drugs to treat disorders ranging from
obsessive compulsive disorder to addiction. Plus,
seeing God... and the DEA: "Psychedelics" features a
report on a religious group called the UDV that's
suing the federal government for the right to drink
huasca, a sacramental tea that contains DMT. Guests
include Dr. Mark Geyer, professor of psychiatry at the
University of California, San Diego; Dr. Debra Mash,
professor of neurology, University of Miami School of
Medicine; Dr. Charles Schuster, director of the
substance abuse clinical research division at Wayne
State School of Medicine in Detroit and former
director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse;
Jeffrey Bronfman, the North American representative of
the UDV (Uniao do Vegetal) church; and Bill
Lichtenstein speaks with Nick Bromell, author of
"Tomorrow Never Knows: Rock and Psychedelics in the
1960s." The program concludes with commentary from
John Hockenberry.
