LSD rescue.” “You are looking at a traveler who just bought a ticket for a very special kind of a trip. The cost, a few dollars, and his mind over which he will very shortly have little or no control. Now, most of his preparations have been made and he’s just about ready to go. He won’t have to leave this room if he doesn’t want to but he’ll travel so far that he may get lost and never come back. Transportation of the fantastic and frightening territory of inner space.
