Birth of a Psychedelic Culture is literally a flashback that provides rare background knowledge for the experienced psychonaut, the novice, and anyone interested in cultural history. When a handful of academics in the United States came across the first known psychedelic substances in the 1960s, the triumph of psychoactive molecules was inevitable. The experiments of Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), Ralph Metzner and others with psilocybin, LSD, DMT & Co. set an important marker for the emergence of a psychedelic culture in the West. This document of contemporary history, a collection of conversations of the psychedelic pioneers of the sixties, takes us on a journey into the past - to the beginnings of the U.S. psychedelic culture, which exerted a worldwide socio-cultural influence and also had a significant impact on the European psychedelic movement.
