Notes

Psychedelic Psychiatry explores how 1950s LSD research in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, led by psychiatrists Humphry Osmond and Abram Hoffer, pioneered the use of psychedelics to treat mental illness. The book traces LSD’s rise as a promising psychiatric tool and its fall amid fears of drug abuse and counterculture, highlighting the ethical and political forces that shaped psychedelic medicine.
