As Peter & Magda have stated, it's an important book, as is Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream by Jay Stevens:

Yes, , I agree on Storming Heaven. I also remember hearing at the time and then reading proofs later that the CIA was the main supplier of street acid at a certain time, but what they would do is add additoinal drug x in this city and y in that city and different mixes of x, y, z in others and then see how many freak-outs there were; reports of nice or bad trips, duration and subjective effects, etc. They also did involuntary and semi-voluntary testing on inmates, soldiers, and others - in and out of the USA....and that is just the tip of the iceberg and LSD only one of hundreds they tested.
