This well-worn copy of Jack S. Margolis’ “Complete Book of Recreational Drugs” offers a fascinating glimpse into the counterculture era of the 1960s and 70s. Published in 1969, at the height of the psychedelic movement, this controversial book provided a comprehensive guide to the effects, risks, and cultural significance of various mind-altering substances. While its content may seem outdated or even dangerous by today’s standards, it remains a valuable historical artifact, shedding light on the societal upheaval and experimentation of that turbulent time. The markings and wear on this particular copy suggest it was well-read and perhaps even used as a reference by those exploring the fringes of consciousness. For collectors and scholars of the counterculture, this book represents a rare and authentic piece of that era’s defiant spirit and pursuit of expanded awareness.
