"Psychedelics have widened my circle of friends and even given me something of a profession--in the sense that I taught a course on their social implications for the Free University of New York, was consultant to Life on psychedelics, and have written and spoken about these drugs from time to time," writes Peter Stafford. Born in Oakland, California, and educated at Reed College, Portland, Oregon, and at the University of Washington, Seattle, he was editor of Crawdaddy from 1969 to 1970 and co-author (with Bonnie Golightly) of LSD: The Problem-solving Psychedelic.
