High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies Free Audiobook Download by Erik Davis

High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies by Erik Davis tells of a time when the world was changing rapidly. A time when psychedelics and hallucinogens were becoming more normalized, while spirituality was gaining speed. The psychedelic experience is one we take for granted today. It is because of this that this book's perspective is so interesting. It gives us an inside look at the counterculture movements of the seventies as well as providing insight into what it was like for someone who benefitted from such experiences to navigate a society in which drugs weren't yet widely accepted

This is a fascinating book about drugs, esoterica, and visionary experience in the 1970s. Davis explores the growth of this movement, which was largely triggered by psychedelic drugs like LSD and psilocybin mushrooms. He also covers a lot of what happened after psychedelics became mainstream.

'High Weirdness is a book-length meditation on the experience of drugs, esoterica, and visionary experience in the seventies. It manages to be a history of psychedelic drugs in popular culture, an explication of their relation to poetry and literature, a short introduction to the philosophy of mysticism, and a personal memoir. The author charts his own experiences with LSD as they unfolded over several decades. At heart, the book is about the wonder of psychedelics--how they made profound changes in his thinking, but also seem to have done the same for countless others.'
