Psychedelic Chemistry

Rating:
Summary: A largely irrelevant, outdated "underground" publication...
Review: One of the first and most famous of the "underground" publications dealing with clandestine synthesis of LSD, et al. Largely journal entries that have been copied over verbatim from journal articles. Legal information is extremely outdated and many "recipes" contain dangerous typos a la the Anarchist's Cookbook that will most likely lead to failure of synthesis or death of the chemist if actually attempted.

Rating:
Summary: Largely just copies of academic journal articles
Review: Text contains several typos that will lead to creating complete poison (at best) or certain death of the chemist (at worst.) The entire "book" consists mainly of articles copied straight out of journal articles. The legal procedures are outdated, the information inaccurate, and generally inapplicable to anyone with more than just a benign curiosity in the subject material.
