Description
After nearly five decades of war on drugs, the well-established belief that all psychoactive substances are harmful is beginning to crumble under the onslaught of more scientific evidence.
Studies show that psychedelics can help treat depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction and anxiety associated with terminal illnesses, but also improve quality of life in people who have no ailments. Mystical experiences induced with these substances make us approach our own person, other people and the ecology of our planet with greater understanding. Under the right conditions, almost anyone can experience these kinds of states.
Maciej Lorenc talks to the leading experts responsible for the psychedelic renaissance and explores with them issues from various fields - including neuroscience, psychopharmacology, psychology, anthropology, religious studies and drug policy. With this book, you will broaden your perspective almost as if you have taken LSD.
