LSD Literature from the 1950's?

[summa iru]

Hello there, i recently became very interested in LSD and found some awesome videos on youtube from research done in the 50's, i'd imagine there's archives full of amazing footage yet to see the light of day

Considering how much research was carried out before it escaped from the lab there must be many reports from psychedelic therapy sessions but i can't seem to find much, can anyone recommend some good journals from that time period that has subjects describing their experiences or the therapists discussing their findings?

Thanks in advance for any info

Thanks for the tip, i actually just bought LSD: Doorway to the Numinous by Grof along with Hofmanns LSD: My Problem Child recently

Grofs work is very hardgoing and dull.

^ well as far as I remember, his writings are very detailed and as scientifically as possible. in my opinion that's a good thing. I read it when I was 18 though, don't know how I would like it now.
