I need recommendations for literary works about, or inspire by, psychadelic drugs and/or psychoactive plants and herbs. Something along the lines of Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception and (arguably) Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass etc.
This is for fast threads.

The Beatles. They wrote everything while on drugs
The Naked Lunch, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

There's plenty of examples there
I fail to see what the meaning of the title is.
Anything by Terence Mckenna is great. His books are all scientific and spiritual, though, not fiction.
I get really irritated when people say Lewis Carol did LSD.

No they did not write all on drugs.

Yes but the majority were and to deny that is naive.

they first started smoking weed and doing lsd during Sergent Pepper actually
Station to Station by David Bowie
he did so much coke he doesn't even remember most of 1976, also the lyrics on some of the songs make no sense
[QUOTE=Mac2468;21840411]LSD wasn't first synthesized until long after he died.[/QUOTE]
He drank absinthe and had epilipsy. He never did acid obviously, but he had access to other hallucinogens. LSA(plant matter) and absinthe were common in his time. So was psychobillin shrooms. He very well did hallucinogens. Don't deny that.
It was also speculated that he was smoking opium. It's actually quite plausible, considering that there was an Opium War between Britain and China, thence making it legal at the time. I may also add that the caterpillar was depicted smoking a hookah, which probably had opium in it, given the time period in which the book was set.

The man in my avatar. The king of LSD.
Look up works by Hunter S. Thompsom.
Jim Morrison? he had to have been on something, at least.

No, Syd Barrett started doing acid after their 1st or 2nd album. I am very sure he didn't write any songs while tripping, especially since when he started dropping acid he became very nonfunctional and wouldn't ever perform. He did write a book, but I think it is about architecture or some random topic.
