About this listen
The Ultimate Guide to Psychedelics takes the listener on a journey of discovery, covering six of the most notorious psychedelic substances: MDMA or ecstasy, psilocybin or magic mushrooms, LSD, DMT, the culturally and spiritually associated brew from the Amazon called ayahuasca, and its more Northern friend, peyote, or mescaline.
This book guides you through controversial histories, chemical structures, groundbreaking research, and information about newer methods of using these substances, such as micro-dosing. We’ll dive deep into each drug so that by the end of this book, you can ultimately decide whether these substances are actually just misunderstood.
We’ll analyze historical and current accounts, clinical trials and their outcomes, recent legislative bans placed on these substances, and ultimately, the effects these substances have on the human body when used in both therapeutic settings and in recreational environments.
You’ll find here everything you need to know about MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, DMT, ayahuasca, and peyote - gift-wrapped in multiple layers of mind-blowing facts and information about the history, controversy, and newly discovered healing potential of these drugs that have been hiding for more than half-a-decade.
We have now entered the psychedelic renaissance. The more we learn about these mind-altering substances and their potential, the easier it will be to understand this movement's relevance in the health industry.

When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third.

We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise of the psychoactive 60s - that deeper self-awareness, achieved through reality-bending substances and practices, will lead to greater external harmony - is again gaining a major following. The signs are everywhere, from the influence of today's preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective cultural phenomena like the spectacle of Burning Man.

From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected 60 volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plant-derived chemical found in the psychedelic Amazon brew, ayahuasca, is also manufactured by the human brain. In Strassman's volunteers, it consistently produced near-death and mystical experiences.

Exceptional Intro & Overview With a Shot of Rye
Bullseye for the psychedelic neophyte. Covers the history, chemistry, neurology, research studies, therapeutic use, counter-culture use and solo contexts of NNDA, psilocybin, LSD, peyote, ayahuasca and DMT. The author has a rye and dry tone about the reactionary grasping control of government over those potentially healing substances and the narrator has a great voice to carry off the author’s enjoyable occasional sarcasm. Also, there’s a great little history if the CIA’s and FBI’s Keystone Cop programs to use some of these substances as weapons. Worth the five hours if you’re a curious cat from therapeutic or recreational perspectives.

Very interesting
There is nothing new under the sun: In the year 1,082 since the creation of Adam, Shemihaza, one of the Watchers of the Universe taught humans the use of all drugs, and herbs, and mushrooms, and psychedelics known today as a way, or portal to invite demons into your soul, most times to get into trance in order to access the occult sciences of the universe. if you like the spiritual trips, and feelings, and experiences the demons take you into, this book would be of great advantage to you.
