LSD: My Problem Child (German: LSD: Mein Sorgenkind) is a 1980 book written by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann about the history of LSD that he discovered in 1943. It contains a collection of Hofmanns encounters with scientists, artists, and hippies who were interested in his discovery for a variety of reasons, aswell as many personal anecdotes and insights. The full book is free available at Erowid and MAPS.

“ Numerous accounts of the discovery of LSD have been published in English; none, unfortunately, have been completely accurate. Here, at last, the father of LSD details the history of his "problem child" and his long and fruitful career as a research chemist. In a real sense, this book is the inside story of the birth of the Psychedelic Age, and it cannot be denied that we have here a highly candid and personal insight into one of the most important scientific discoveries of our time, the signiflcance of which has yet to dawn on mankind. ” — Jonathan Ott, Translator's Preface in Albert Hofmann, LSD: My Problem Child, 1980.
