    LSD: My Problem Child – Reflections on Sacred Drugs, Mysticism and Science

    November 7, 2024
    Me he leido la versión en castellano con introducción notas y epilogo de Jose Carlos Bouso, y no podía haber elegido mejor... Sus notas complementan el libro muy bien con estudios actuales, recomendaciones de lectura, datos curiosos y cosas que se han desmentido.

    El libro habla de como Albert Hoffman descubre la LSD, de como esta empieza a ser usada por artistas y científicos y como está oculta en algunos de los últimos avances de la ciencia (se cita hasta un premio nobel que admitio estar influenciado bajo esta droga cuando teorizó la doble cadena del ADN que le dió el premio).

    Habla de como al tomar esta droga, la gente llega a conclusiones reveladoras y empieza así el movimiento contracultural de los hippies. En este libro se describen escenas donde los científicos más importantes de esos tiempos acuden al autor para hacer simposios en las montañas consumiendo LSD‼️‼️

    Como está droga sintetizada la encuentran años más tarde en las setas alucinogenas mexicanas de forma natural, investiga sobre los rituales que se han hecho durante la historia y que significados les habían dado. Acabas con una vision muy diferente de esta sustancia...

    Pero el final.... 🤌🤌🤌 Albert Hoffman vivió
