    <![CDATA[This is the story of LSD told by a concerned yet hopeful  father, organic chemist Albert Hofmann. He traces LSD's path  from a promising psychiatric research medicine to a recreational  drug sparking hysteria and prohibition.  <p>We follow Dr. Hofmann's trek across Mexico to discover sacred  plants related to LSD, and listen in as he corresponds with  other notable figures about his remarkable discovery.  <p>Underlying it all is Dr. Hofmann's powerful conclusion that  mystical experience may be our planet's best hope for survival.  Whether induced by LSD, meditation, or arising spontaneously,  such experiences help us to comprehend &quot;the wonder, the  mystery of the divine&#139;in the microcosm of the atom,  in the macrocosm of the spiral nebula, in the seeds of plants,  in the body and soul of people.&quot;  <p>More than sixty years after the birth of Albert Hofmann's  problem child, his vision of its true potential is more relevant,  and more needed, than ever.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Albert Hofmann es el científico que descubrió casi por casualidad el LSD mientras investigaba las propiedades curativas del cornezuelo de centeno en los laboratorios de la compañia Sandoz, en Basilea. Es por ello el auténtico padre de la controvertida dietilamida del ácido lisérgico, la droga psicodélica más difundida en las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Esta historia es el testimonio de un legado problemático que sirvió para ampliar hasta horizontes insospechados los límites de la conciencia y dio lugar a un fenómeno social conocido como la &quot;cultura de la droga&quot;. Las prometedoras aplicaciones terapéuticas en el campo de la psiquiatría fueron ensombrecidas desde sus inicios por la implacable cruzada prohibicionista. Hoy la fuerza de la razón fundada en inapelables investigaciones científicas alumbra un renovado interés por sus usos y utilidades clínicas, lo cual acrecienta el valor y perdurabilidad de esta obra. Hofmann nos cuenta sus experiencias con el LSD y otras drogas psicotrópicas, su relación con escritores y psicólogos dedicados a investigar las fronteras de la percepción; y no olvida hacer un balance crítico y autorizado tanto de los efectos nocivos del abuso de alucinógenos como de su aplicación positiva en la ciencia. ]]>
