If you have any interest at all in acid, then get your hands on this book! --Stewart Home, artist, academic, filmmaker, activist, and author

Like any strong acid trip, there is both existential angst and cosmic bliss, and many states in between. The Acid Diaries is a contemporary classic of personal psychedelic exploration.

If you have any interest at all in acid, then get your hands on this book!
