This last issue focuses on the author’s ultimate realization that she did not understand LSD and that she did not plan to “take psychedelics any more because I am afraid of them.”In the fall of 1966 Lisa Bieberman, one of Timothy Leary’s followers, started publishing a more-or-less bi-monthly “Psychedelic Information Center BULLETIN.” The early issues focused primarily on various recipes to prepare psychedelic agents from various plants. The later issues espouse conclusions about drug use (“marijuana inflates one’s self-conceit; but LSD undermines it.”), the status of various laws and legal cases concerning drug usage and possession, the results of clinical trials of psychotropic agents, the psychological repercussions of using LSD (flashbacks), the physiological repercussions of using LSD (chromosome damage), and the religious use of LSD.
