Summary

Modern Psychedelics is a judgment-free handbook that compiles contemporary research and ancient knowledge to guide adult readers who are interested in the mindful exploration of these misunderstood, extraordinary, powerful substances.

We are currently in the midst of a massive psychedelic resurgence. Medical and academic research teams all over the world have launched studies into the effective use of psychedelics to treat illnesses which modern medicine can’t always effectively address, including PTSD, addiction and depression. At the same time, a growing number of adults are interested in experiencing the potentially life-changing insight and perspective that psychedelics reputably provide. But those searching for reliable information for how to take and make meaning from these profound experiences have found little available, until now. 

Modern Psychedelics covers the history, research, myths, and use of the most popular psychedelics including MDMA, Magic Mushrooms, Ketamine, DMT/5-MeO-DMT, Ayahuasca, LSD, Mescaline/Payote/Huachuma, and Ibogaine/Iboga. In addition, it offers essential information on how to set an intentional journey, the potential benefits of microdosing, how couples can use psychedelics to enhance intimacy and connection, and recommendations for responsible use when working with these extraordinary substances. 
 
Accessibly written, and filled with wisdom from many trusted sources, no other book offers the depth of information to mindfully guide you into these amazing alternative experiences.
