''The Acid Diaries''
For three years Gray self-administered the psychedelic drug LSD, applying the theories of Stanislav Grof to analyse his own experiences. He also used the works of Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann and Gordon Wasson to develop an account of the possible value of LSD as a tool for transpersonal growth and spiritual development.{{cite book |title=The Acid Diaries |url=https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/The-Acid-Diaries/Christopher-Gray/9781594773839 |publisher=Simon and Schuster |accessdate=26 February 2019 |language=en |date=24 September 2010|isbn=9781594773839 }}
