I am looking for a short story by Norman Spinrad where a human psychonaut (I doubt Spinrad used that term) takes a drug and "travels" to a world where an alien presence/intelligence pursues him.
 
I'm not knowledgeable on Spinrad, but I do know of two of his drug stories "Subjectivity" where a group of astronauts cope (where others have failed) with the stress of interstellar travel by the use of various psychedelics (available on Project Gutenberg), and "No Direction Home" which I recall less well, but I think is set on earth. It doesn't sound like either of these.

Thanks for responding.

I knew the story was in one of the early paperback collections of Spinrad shorts but was using the wrong questions in Google. So I typed in searching for reviews of those books and found what I was looking for: "Neutral Ground," which appeared in The Last Hurrah of the Golden Horde collection.

I found the answer to my question HERE.

Keep on keepin' on!

Someone should make a movie out this story. Kee the effects to the minimum necessary and go for as much alienness as possible.
