he's talkin' about that LSG. Actually, Huxley was good, but Leary in
High Priest nailed some of that jelly to the tree pretty well, and
even Tom Wolfe brought in some good descriptions of Kesey's trips,
from the government lab experiments to the Acid Tests
I'm going to be accused of being an Eeyore, but for me (like the 40
Year Old Hippie, http://www.tedrichards.net/03_cartoons_home.php,
"over 200 trips and they've all been bummers, but I ain't givin' up!")
I'm highly tempted to say that reading about tripping has been more
psychedelic in almost every respect, and certainly safer and calmer,
than actually doing it. Although I've written a few trip accounts
and, gosh, writing about it seems to be even more fun...
(emotion recollected in tranquillity)
Speaking of trip accounts: those and much more, here

So I guess I concur in Robin's advice to read about it!
