it might be useful to distinguish between LSD - the drug and journey, and LSD - the social phenomenon via Dr Tim Leary, Burning Man, music bands and the like.. Stan Grof from my point of view, is solid and responsible.. the other side, outrageous and unexpected, with all the ecstasies and injuries associated with such chaotic vigor. Detractors and their allies, law enforcement, quickly point out the social costs, and after decades, I see they are not entirely wrong about that part. Enthusiasm and outright dismissal of the negatives, do not overcome that, and in fact strengthen it.. since you know, drugs have been known to affect a person's judgement over time :-/
