Sure he doesn't leave out the sexual part, or how it affects his ability to taste food, or whether it makes him dislike bright light...but that is because while he was trippin' he remained a scientist to as great a degree as he could. His wife is no dummy either, and she does the same thing. Ofter her take on a compound is similar to his, but sometimes it is significantly different.
These are properly named I think. Research is what they are for and what they need.
If you just wanna get high, giggle, take a path to spiritual growth thathas been trod by hundreds of thousands already since the 60's...stick with what u know.

Someone has to do it.

Diff class of drugs, diff end goal usually, and diff circuit in the brain. Not just apples and oranges, but Nikes and Twinkies.
Based on what people are saying yeah it was unfair to lump RCs in with cough syrup. You make a good point that people were using acid long before it was thoroughly tested and it rocked the world.
But nobody is going to raise global consciousness by chugging cough syrup. Sorry.
