Summary: good, but not quite as good as pot stories
Comment: This is the second in a series of three books edited by Krassner collecting people's stories of their experiences with various drugs. The first, Pot Stories for the Soul, was about marijuana. This book was originally going to be called Psychedelic Stories for the Soul and the third to be called Magic Mushroom Stories for the Soul, but the humorless creators of the insipid Chicken Soup for the Soul series threatened legal action, and this book became Psychedelic Trips for the Mind and the third book will be titled Magic Mushrooms and Other Highs: From Toad Slime to Ecstasy.
Of the first two books, the first is the most entertaining--it has the widest variety of stories and many of them are quite amusing, horrifying, or otherwise entertaining. This book contains more stories of countercultural figures--the first three chapters are on countercultural history, Timothy Leary, and the Grateful Dead. Krassner's contributions to this book have all previously been published elsewhere.

Other chapters include a whole set of people's stories about tripping at Disneyland, the obligatory chapter of bad trips ("Bummers"), which are often the most entertaining, and a chapter by prisoners.

Summary: Psychedelic Trips for the Mind
Comment: Nice collection of historic stories about the history of LSD. This has a slightly different account, of the history we have all heard before; as reguards the 60's counter-culture movement.
