Psychiatry and also participating on a number of government grant review committees, including serving as chair of theF.D.A's. Drug Abuse Advisory Committee from 1982 to 1983. Cohen also served as anti-drug consultant to the Army and theState Department, as well as various public relations and advertising agencies with pharmaceutical company clients,travelling as an expert on drugs and drug policy.Sidney Cohen is perhaps most well-known in popular culture for LSD experiments he conducted with Keith Dittman, BettyEisner and Gerald Heard, based on correspondence with Humphrey Osmond, in the mid-1950s. Cohen also conducted anumber of very loosely-controlled experiments with LSD, resulting in descriptions of LSD experiences. Cohen provided LSDto Clare Boothe Luce and Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, among numerous others. After becoming convincedthat use of LSD could be dangerous, particularly if unsupervised, Cohen maintained a public anti-LSD stance andsometimes testy discourse with Timothy Leary. Cohen published The Beyond Within: The LSD Story in 1965. Cohen alsoprovided the LSD used by Aldous Huxley in his deathbed experience and advocated LSD research, particularly for theterminally ill, until his own death in 1987.Scope and ContentThe papers cover Sidney Cohen's education, early family life, and entire career.
