I read _LSD, My Problem Child_ a few years ago.
It was quite good.  If you like that sort of thing...non-technical
memoirs of a scientist...(personally I love them)

I think that he didn't have any problem with the drug itself,
but with its indiscriminate popularization...
maybe not even with that, but with legal and even epidemiological
problems stemming from broadcast advocacy
regardless of whether it'd be appropriate for an individual...

RIP indeed - invent a new drug, live 102 years - a body could do worse...
