Requests:  0 Summary:  In the early 1960s, scientists openly advocated for experimentation with psychedelics. This effort, however, quickly turned into a discredited enterprise involving recreational drug use. But what if a study of psychedelics was undertaken with trusted scientific rigor? William A. Richards does just that in Sacred Knowledge, the first well-documented, sophisticated account of the effect of psychedelics on biological processes, human consciousness, and revelatory religious experiences.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 204.2 Richards Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 204.2 Ri Lost 07/05/2017 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 204.2 Ri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 204.2 Ri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 204.2 Ri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
