Author: A. and Osmond H. Hoffer

The Hallucinogens attempts to provide a detailed description of the hallucinogens in a single volume. Hallucinogens are chemicals which in nontoxic doses produce changes in perception, in thought & in mood, but which seldom produce mental confusion, memory loss, or disorientation for person, place & time. These latter changes are characteristic of organic brain reactions following intoxications with alcohol, anesthetics & other toxic drugs. The book covers the following plant ß-phenethylamines, d-lysergic acid diethylamide, ololiuqui, indole hallucinogens etc.
